One more item, I had to add this code to allow connectivity to IBM Watson IoT Platform, it relates to security issues around SSL.
http://developer.android.com/training/articles/security-gms-provider.html try { com.google.android.gms.security.ProviderInstaller.installIfNeeded(getApplicationContext()); } catch (GooglePlayServicesRepairableException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } catch (GooglePlayServicesNotAvailableException e) { e.printStackTrace(); } Dan.
