Lookup manufacturer info by MAC address, using www.macvendorlookup.com API

Last post show how to "Retrieve IP and MAC addresses of Android WiFi tethering clients from /proc/net/arp". This example show how to get vendor/manufacturer info of the associated MAC addresses.

(You can download runnable APK from link on bottom)


http://www.macvendorlookup.com/api provide API to lookup MAC Address Vendor/Manufacturer info.

Notice that this example haven't handle error condition.
