Socket Programming

You should opt for the option-1. Because client should have server's IP which is (192.168.52.34)

1) ---------------------------------------------------------
server IP address: 127.0.0.1
client IP address: 192.168.52.34

Hi all,

I found that when the Server is an Android Server, the socket communication(TCP/UDP) will be failed, any suggestion on this issue?

Regards.

In case your server is on Android then you need to follow the following steps to make your server available on network:

1- Lets say your server is listening on port number 6100 in android.

2- Forward the ports using the following command, so you can connect to android from localhost

Code: Select all: adb forward tcp:6100 tcp:6100

3- Now you can connect to this port from localhost but not from the network, it means you can connect using localhost:6100 from your desktop computer but not with the IP (192.168.0.1:6100 )

OK

Failed

4- An extra step is needed for network access.
Use some proxy server which can listen on 192.168.0.140:6100 and forward the data to localhost:6100 (which is your android server)

Follow the above steps, I have fixed this problem and it's works fine now. I'm using the TCP proxy-stcppipe.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,do you can do it by using XMPP ? (a mini chat application between mobilephone ) .So how to test it

Thanks

1) If XMPP is now gone, what's the best way to send binary data from mobilephone to mobilephone?
2) Will the mobilephones using the Android OS have unique IP addresses?
3) If so, can TCP/IP or UDP/IP be used for direct communication between mobilephones?

Thanks

Hi!

I am using android like a TCPclient and a java application like a TCPserver. It works fine sending and receiving Strings, int, double,..... The problem is when I want to send from server and read in the client an Object of this class:

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

public class ElementsClass implements Serializable{
 
                private String element1= null;
 
                private String element2= null;
 
        public ElementsClass (){
 
        }
 
        public void setLE1(String e1){this.element1= e1;}
 
        public void setE2(String e2){this.element2= e2;}
 
        public String getE1(){return element1;}
 
        public String getE2(){return element2;}
 
}
Parsed in 0.032 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

This is the server(Java App):

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

ois = new ObjectInputStream(client.getInputStream());
 
      oos = new ObjectOutputStream(client.getOutputStream());
 
      ElementsClass aux= new ElementClass();
 
      aux.setE1("first");
 
      aux.setE2("second");
 
      oos.writeObject(aux);
 
      oos.flush();
Parsed in 0.031 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

This is the client class(Android App):

Syntax: [ Download ] [ Hide ]

Using java Syntax Highlighting

    oos = new ObjectOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
 
      ois = new ObjectInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
 
      Object aux= ois.readObject();
 
      ElementsClass element= (ElementsClass )aux;
Parsed in 0.034 seconds,  using GeSHi 1.0.8.4

Whats the problem???

The connection works fine, the problem is reading the object. I follow the server and client arquitecture of this web: http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/ALT/sockets/

Hello.
I have an application that use the sip protocol and I need to know how to reach the emulator doing a call from an extern client; when android act as a client and another computer as a server, everything works fine, but when Android is a Server, I cannot reach it, there is no forwarding of sip calls from the host to android.
I tried adb forward without significant results. How can I make android listening to a port, known at run-time?

Hi Friends

I could not able to find a solution on socket programming. I am getting exception like "Unknown host name".

Example:

Socket sc = new Socket("mycompany.com",8080);

would any one tell me what steps should i follow, please?

Did you add the uses-Permission INTERNET in the AndroidManifest.xml :?:
