Android TCP Socket

android, azure, tcp

Solution

You need to add the `INTERNET` permission to your manifest.

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

Problem

I am trying to create a new TCP socket in Android emulator. Below is the Android code: ``` Socket s = new Socket("111.221.88.15", 8080); ``` But i keep getting UnknownHost Exception. I am able to create the connection in a windows C# application. The site is a test project, developed in Microsoft Azure. URL:http://tcptest24.cloudapp.net/ I tried using the URL in place of IP address and various variants of it, but i keep getting the same error. Hopefully ill get an early response as I am being charged :) and the site is of no use without client. Thanks, Anil
