I am trying to access from an Android device over WiFi a local web server which I can access from my laptop either on the browser, or using curl. I can also access the server on the android device browser.
The code I am using to access the server yields a "connection refused" exception.
This is the code:
public void getController1() {
HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://192.168.1.169:8000");
HttpResponse response = null;
System.out.println(httpget.toString());
try {
response= httpclient.execute(httpget);
txtViewStatus.setText("Controller 1 - OK"+response);
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
txtViewStatus.setText("Controller 1 - Error"+e);
}
}
Problem solved. The issue was a corrupted manifest file. I deleted the permission lines and re-typed them in and now the problem is gone
I was missing permission; you should check manifest file
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_PHONE_STATE"></uses-permission>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.DOWNLOAD_WITHOUT_NOTIFICATION" />
Check your internet connection strength.
For my case the network connection is low so this error thrown.
Past this to your manifest file:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
Can it be because you're using a proxy? The proxy issue is discussed in Android HttpClient Doesn't Use System Proxy Settings (see the answer by CommonsWare).
you should enable pc suite in android device :
1: set http url in android app e.g ("http://192.168.1.100:81/api/droid/getdata")
laptop or pc wifi ip is (192.168.1.100)
2: connect android device to pc or laptop in usb port
3: goto this setting in android device setting -> more -> Tethering and portable hotspot -> pc suite(HiSuite)
4: run android app
this work good
