@Proxcentaur Thanks for opening this issue.

The current library is not compatible with Android.

I will publish a working version in the next hours along with a full working example for Android.

A new version has been released (3.1.1). The library is now compatible with Android.

Here is a fully working Android example that makes use of the new version:

Do not hesitate if you have any questions or still encountering any issues.

I suggest looking at the provided example:

https://github.com/ipregistry/ipregistry-android/blob/master/app/src/main/java/com/example/ipregistry_android/IpregistryTask.java#L31

The line ipregistry.lookup(); performs a remote call to the Ipregistry API. This kind of request is what we call in our docs an Origin IP lookup. It returns the data behind the IP address the API request is coming from. If I understand correctly, this is what you want.

There is no provided method to get the client IP from a request header since this is specific to the infrastructure/network and server you are using. It's up to you to read/parse the header value you need, then you can pass the IP address to the lookup method as such ipregistry.lookup("1.2.3.4"). In that case, you will get IP Info for the provided IP address, namely 1.2.3.4 in this example.

Thanks, I have read it carefully through the documentation too
