android TCP socket (Check if available) - android

I have an android app that connects to a TCP server.
I made a button to check is the server is available.
If i click the button it keeps trying to connect and doesn't go to the Exception.
Code:
try {
Socket s = new Socket("192.168.xxx.xx",xxxxx);
available = true;
s.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
//show error toast.
}

Bluetooth connect to ELM327

I deal with a thesis on the topic "car diagnostics via bluetooth". However, now I'm stuck in the problem. I have application, which can connect bluetooth to mobile (from tablet - android to android). Its ok state is CONNECT. But when I tried to connect to the OBD adapter. It was unsuccessful.
Trying to connect approximately this way:
public void run() {
// Cancel discovery because it will slow down the connection
mBluetoothAdapter.cancelDiscovery();
try {
mmSocket.connect();
} catch (IOException connectException) {
connectException = connectException;
mHandler.obtainMessage(NOT_CONNECT).sendToTarget();
try {
mmSocket.close();
} catch (IOException closeException) { }
return;
}
mHandler.obtainMessage(SUCCESS_CONNECT, mmSocket).sendToTarget();
}
}
Please can you advise me also how to create a valid AT command, which is then queries the OBD adapter?
Thank you for helps!

Android Emulator can not connect to SailsJs server via Socket.IO

I am developing an Android app. I would like it to communicate with a SailsJS server via SocketIO. I am using socket.io for Android(com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client) as the socket.io library in the android app.
I run it on an emulator while doing the development. The initialization code is as below:
private Socket mSocket;
{
try {
mSocket = IO.socket(Config.SERVER_URL);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
Config.SERVER_URL is set to be "http://10.0.2.2:1337".
It always reports "connect_error". What should I do to get it connected?

The socket stop t Socket.accept() in Android for TCP Server

I try to create a Simple TCP Server on Android phone and waiting for client.
I only want to implement the connection between TCPServer and Client , it doesn't need to transmit any data.
I have the another application for client , It use to connect to this TCPServer.
The code of TCPServerthread is like the following.
private class TCPServerThread implements Runnable
{
#Override
public void run() {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
try {
ServerSocket serverSocket = new ServerSocket(PORT);
//while loop
while (true) {
Log.i(TAG, "TCPServerThread...while loop");
try {
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
Log.i(TAG, "TCPServerThread...socket.getInetAddress() = " + socket.getInetAddress());
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
e.printStackTrace();
Log.i(TAG, "First IOException");
}
}
//while loop end
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO: handle exception
//e.printStackTrace();
Log.i(TAG, "Second IOException");
}
}
}
But it seems stop at Socket socket = serverSocket.accept(); and doesn't show the log of TCPServerThread...socket.getInetAddress() = when the client try to connect to this Server.
DO I missing something for TCPServer ?
Is it mean the client doesn't connect to the Server when the code stop at Socket socket = serverSocket.accept(); ??
----------------------------EDIT----------------------------------------
Update the process.
The Server(Android Phone) open the WiFi-Hot-Spot, it also open the TCP-Server like the above code.
After Client connect to WiFi-Hot-Spot , the Client and the Server are in the same network.
The Client will get a IP address of gateway, and the Client try to connect to this IP address of gateway by TCP.
So the connection port and Server address seems correct for Client.
Your code is correct, but it seems that no one is connecting to your TCPserver.
To avoid this blocking situation on
Socket socket = serverSocket.accept();
you have to set the timeout option for your socket when you declare it
serverSocket.setSoTimeout(mTime);
;)

Android Serversocket does not seem to accept connections on emulators

I've been trying to implement a simple socket communication between two Android emulators but just can't seem to get it.
My server:
public void run() {
if (SERVERIP != null) {
try {
serverStatus.setText("My IP: " + SERVERIP);
serverSocket = new ServerSocket(6798);
serverStatus.setText("ServerSocket Created");
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
while (true) {
serverStatus.setText("waiting for client");
Socket client = serverSocket.accept();
serverStatus.setText("Connected.");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(client.getInputStream()));
String line = in.readLine();
serverStatus.setText(line);
in.close();
client.close();
}
}
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
else
serverStatus.setText("Couldn't detect internet connection.");
}
My Client:
try {
InetAddress ina = InetAddress.getByName("10.0.2.2");
socket = new Socket(ina, 6789);
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())), true);
out.println("Hey Server!");
dispText.setText("sent");
}
catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
The Client side goes on to display the message "sent" however the Server does not move beyond "waiting for client" (stuck on the blocking accept()).
I've used telnet on my Windows machine to redirect port 6789 to 6798 on the server emulator's console. I've also tried turning off my firewall and the other suggestions posted on the similar questions asked here. Please help as just can't seem to get it and feel like I'm making a very stupid mistake.
Also, can anyone please tell me how it is possible for the Client to move beyond the Socket creation code line if the Server is still stuck on accept(). Or, does it not matter to the client that the Server isn't responding as long as it is listening on the port??
Android emulators are placed behind a virtual firewall/router by design, and cannot see each other, even when they are on the same network. The "Using Network Redirection", as well as "Interconnecting Emulator Instances" part of Google's doc on the emulator explains how to communicate with an emulator instance.
As for your last question. Use the empty constructor for socket, and then use the connect call with a specified timeout.

Android 4.0+ Bluetooth connection error to an embedded device: "Permission Denied"

I have the following setup:
An Android device uses a 'Client' socket to connect to a remote embedded device, The Android application uses the following code snippet to connect to the embedded device.
On the embedded device uses MindTree BT stack, where server serial socket is prepared according to some properties in the device, which the Android application is familiar with, the connection defined on the embedded device, is not secured!!
The combination of both applications works on:
2 LG phones different models (version code < 10 uses the "Normal method")
2 HTC's different models (version code < 10 uses the "Workaround method")
Pantech Tablet (version code < 13 uses the "Workaround method")
Today, I've tried the application on Samsung S3, Motorola MB886, and a Nexus 7...
All resulted in a "Permission Denied" when calling to socket.connect()... (I have the proper permissions in the manifest, otherwise it would not work on the other devices.)
All the new devices I've tested on are version code > 4.0, so I'm wondering:
Does anyone know about any changes in the API?
Perhaps Android 4.0+ forces security?
It seem that the error occur in the Bonding state, since I can see on the embedded program logs...
Any insights?
The code:
public final synchronized int connectToDevice(int connectingMethod)
throws BluetoohConnectionException {
if (socket != null)
throw new BadImplementationException("Error socket is not null!!");
connecting = true;
logInfo("+---+ Connecting to device...");

lastException = null;
lastPacket = null;
if (connectingMethod == BluetoothModule.BT_StandardConnection
|| connectingMethod == BluetoothModule.BT_ConnectionTBD)
try {
socket = fetchBT_Socket_Normal();
connectToSocket(socket);
listenForIncomingSPP_Packets();
onConnetionEstablished();
return BluetoothModule.BT_StandardConnection;
} catch (BluetoohConnectionException e) {
socket = null;
if (connectingMethod == BluetoothModule.BT_StandardConnection) {
throw e;
}

}
}
After very long long time of investigating the matter I've found one reason for the error... on some Android devices the auto Bluetooth peering is not enabled/allowed.
So, apparently except for two connection method, there are also two Bluetooth adapter enabling method, one would be to throw an intent to ask the system to turn the adapter on, and the other is to call onto the BluetoothAdapter.enable() method, which enables the Bluetooth silently.
The first method, pops a confirmation dialog, and require user interaction while the other does not, and while not showing the Bluetooth enabling confirmation dialog, also the peering confirmation is not shown, which causes the connection error.
Using the first adapter enabling method solves the problem on most of the devices, like the Nexus 7, Samsung S3, and a few others, but on some devices there is still an issue, and I'm not really sure why, but this is much better since many devices are now working with the new implementation.
