[Solved] Help using NetworkAddressService

I don’t now if that’s the right category to get some help to integrate the NetworkAddressService to get the primary IP.

Preparation in the Code:

import org.eclipse.smarthome.core.net.NetworkAddressService;

Class:
private NetworkAddressService networkAddressService; 

Code inside the ThingFactoryClass class (tried also others):
@Reference
protected void setNetworkAddressService(NetworkAddressService networkAddressService) {
     this.networkAddressService = networkAddressService;
}

protected void unsetNetworkAddressService(NetworkAddressService networkAddressService) {
     this.networkAddressService = null;
}

Usage:
networkAddressService.getPrimaryIpv4HostAddress()

Sounds easy, but the problem is that the setNetworkAddressService() is never called. The binding gets loaded, but I reach never the breakpoint I set on the routine.

I checked OSGI-INF/ThingFactory.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<scr:component xmlns:scr="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/scr/v1.2.0" activate="activate" configuration-pid="telekomtv" immediate="true" name="org.openhab.binding.telekomtv.internal.TelekomTVHandlerFactory">
   <service servicefactory="false">
      <provide interface="org.eclipse.smarthome.core.thing.binding.ThingHandlerFactory"/>
      <provide interface="org.openhab.binding.telekomtv.internal.TelekomTVHandlerFactory"/>
   </service>
   <reference bind="setNetworkAddressService" interface="org.eclipse.smarthome.core.net.NetworkAddressService" name="NetworkAddressService" unbind="unsetNetworkAddressService"/>
   <implementation class="org.openhab.binding.telekomtv.internal.TelekomTVHandlerFactory"/>
</scr:component>

so the @Reference works. Otherwise Eclipse told me that this is not a public interface.

Is it correct that I need to add a rule to the Java Build Path to get access to
I checked out ESH API Reference->NetworkAddressService documentation, but it does not contain no information how integrate the class. Need some help.

Most of the developers can be found @ https://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php?t=thread&frm_id=271 so you may have more chances if you open up the same question at the ESH forum also.

Of course, some are also in this forum :slight_smile:

Hi, thanks for the advise. Created a post there.
