UDP Connection Not Working on Device

auser12 · by **auser12** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 12:49 am

Hi everyone, I have a slight problem. I am trying to send a string from my Xoom to my laptop via UDP. They are on the same Wi-Fi network. It works fine in the emulator, but when I try it on my device, nothing happens. Here is my code:

Code: Select all: String messageStr="Hello Android!"; int server_port = 9876; DatagramSocket s = new DatagramSocket(); InetAddress local = InetAddress.getByName("IP Address of Laptop"); int msg_length=messageStr.length(); byte[] message = messageStr.getBytes(); DatagramPacket p = new DatagramPacket(message, msg_length,local,server_port); s.send(p);

Thanks for your help.

Hi auser12,

The most likely reasons would be the internet permission or the wifi is not enabled. Do you have any errors showing up in the logcat that you can share?

Hope this helps.

This is all that appears in the LogCat when run the application.

As for the internet permission I have this line in my AndroidManifest:

Code: Select all: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

Hi auser12,

How about the WIFI permissions? It looks like that pile of stuff was out cruzing around on the internet. Is the WIFI on and connected? The emulator is kind of a special case. Some routers are going to be troublesome. Anything else you can add? I didn't see any error that cause the VM to shut down. That usually is something like a permission.

Hope this helps.

OK, at first I was trying to connect my Xoom to a Windows 7 Virtual Machine on my Mac. But I just tried to connect my Xoom to my Mac (not on a Windows 7 virtual Machine) and it worked fine. So I'm assuming that both devices have to be on the same Wi-Fi network. Is there any way that I can connect both devices via Wi-Fi without them being on the same Wi-Fi network.

Hi auser12,

I'm afraid I'm just not understanding. If it works from your Android device to your Mac then the trouble probably isn't in your Android device but the PC. I don't know what you are using for a server, but whatever it is in the virtual machinge must not be doing the same thing as the native app. And yes, I think they would have to be on the same network or they would be after they were connected together anyway.

I'm afraid I'm just not being much help.

I believe that on the virtual machine, the Wi-Fi is dependent on the Mac's Wi-Fi, so that may be why it was not working. Thanks for all your help.
