Android HTTP Connection
- by Ubersoldat
Can anybody tell my why this doesn't work in the Android emulator? From the browser I have access and the server is internal. All I can think of is that I'm missing some configuration on my app so it can access the network layer.
try {
    InetAddress server = Inet4Address.getByName("thehost");
    //Doesn't work either
    //or InetAddress server2 = Inet4Address.getByAddress(new String("192.168.1.30").getBytes());
    if(server.isReachable(5000)){
        Log.d(TAG, "Ping!");
    }
    Socket clientsocket = new Socket(server, 8080);
} catch (UnknownHostException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Server Not Found");
} catch (IOException e) {
    Log.e(TAG, "Couldn't open socket");
}
Throws an UnknownHostException
Thanks
