Set Android IP,DNS,GATEWAY setting programmatically

You can change system settings programatically.

First you need to request the 'WRITE_SETTINGS' permission in your 'AndroidManifest.xml':

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS"/>

Then you need to actually change the setting using the following code:

    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_USE_STATIC_IP, "0");    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_DNS1, "192.168.0.2");    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_DNS2, "192.168.0.3");    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_GATEWAY, "192.168.0.1");    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_NETMASK, "255.255.255.0");    android.provider.Settings.System.putString(getContentResolver(), android.provider.Settings.System.WIFI_STATIC_IP, "1");

The current settings can be accessed via the same method but use 'getString' instead of 'putString'.

You can't do this from an application.

Would you like applications on your phone to change phone's settings at will?

Not sure it will help but it's possible to manually set an alternative ip,gateway, dns etc for a particular access point in the Wireless settings. Whether you can do this automatically or using an intent is another question?
