Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Android with HostScanner.getAllPingableDevices() and HostScanner.getAllPingableDevicesAsync(), then trace the Android implementation of these entry points and compare it with the Linux behavior described. Done means discovered devices expose a hostname instead of null on Android, with the existing scanner behavior still working on Linux.
