Question

How can that string be obtained from within an Andr

Answer 1

you can use the code below:

InetAddress address = InetAddress.getLocalHost();  
System.out.println(address.getHostName());  // <-- host name is here!

And actually, you can more info using this function. such as... other devices hostname which are in the same network.
