If you're looking for an android app, you could try Network Discovery which work very well and can list all the devices on your local network with the corresponding IP and address.

If you're looking for code instead, well the application is available on github and does (amongst other things ) basically the same thing than explained by Yahel : it reads /proc/net/arp .

Note : I'm NOT the author of this application.
