Yes. Not only is the special address the wrong computer, it's unique to emulators and not available on real devices. If using a network socket, loopback is the answer. However, unless you absolutely have to emulate IP networking, it may be preferable to use a unix-domain socket rather than a network one. This will remove the requirement that any apk using it carry internet permission, while keeping many of the semantics comparable. While unix domain sockets aren't the first choice for IPC within android (that would be Binder) they definitely are used within android itself, for example the connection between the adb daemon and a debuggable app process which makes java debugging possible is done via a unix socket. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
