Does not work with uncommon netmasks #17
Description
I am in a /16 network, but inside the app it defaults to /24, meaning it won't scan the entire network.
I went into my WiFi settings inside Android and manually set a static address with a 16 bit netmask to be absolutely sure Android knows it's a 16 bit netmask. After the change, the address displayed inside the app updated, but the netmask remained /24 which leads me to believe it's an issue with the app.
Unless of course, Android returns a wrong netmask.
Edit:
I am aware that 2^16 would mean it scans for 65,536 potential devices, which might be a little bit too much.
Maybe add an additional option to scan for an address range instead of the entire network?
But of course that should be fully optional, and default to scanning the entire network, as typing in a range each time could get annoying quite quickly! 😄
Also, someone that wants to actually scan a network might not know how many devices there are, or where they are, and would likely want to scan it all. So maybe add a warning that such a scan might take some time?
