[android-porting] Re: ping DNS issue! ping returns "unknown host www.yahoo.com" but ping to IP works fine

[Jerome Duval]

Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see you describing your DNS client anywhere. Does the bionic libc do that?

Ping to IP address works fine. Note: I am building busybox statically linked. Do you know how does android applications resolve names or how do I get the android ping to work with name? Thanks.

You should use busybox for this purpose.
