Hello

I have an application that connects to server for basic verification and fetching data.Web Service is in Java.
The problem is that i am not able to connect to the web service through Emulator as well as device via USB or Wifi.I tried via both application and browser.

Is it possible to do so in Android or else I will have to use live IP.

And yes Its accessible via browser on LAN.

Thanks and Regards,
Vishal Trivedi

The emulator can connect to the machine it's running on, but not the network that machine is on. It would use a special IP address for that.

A device can connect to the machine it's connected to via USB, but not the network that machine is on. It would use a special IP address for that.

A device should have no problem to connect to a network through WIFI, though.

Thanks Tim

I last thing i guess the ip address on n.w doesn't has to be special.
Can get it from ipconfig....

Sorry, I don't understand what you're trying to say.

I mean to say like 10.0.2.2 is used instead of 127.0.0.1

Am i supposed to use other Ip (apart from what i get on "ipconfig")


Thanks

Exactly, you'd use 10.0.2.2 and 10.0.1.2 (I think) for the first two scenarios I mentioned. For the 3rd scenario you'd use whatever IP address the target server has.

Thanks you it worked....

Now i have a new problem....

When I send data to server the server receives a null string....
Logs on my side are correct...
Its just a simple servlet that mirrors back my string



I dont seem to get it.....
