Im a newbie in this so please escuse me if i ask dumb questions.
Im trying to make a UDP connection between Eclipse's PC Emulator & a android phone
(or between two android phone devices).
I have a router and the phone connects to the internet thru router's wifi network. The PC is on same network also (direct cable router-PC connection). Im trying to send some text data from Server thread to Client thread but nothing is received/sent. :(
The Server java class (RE-EDITED, Server receives msg. from Client):
public class server implements Runnable
{
// the Server's Port
public static final int SERVERPORT = 6000;
// running Server thread.
public void run()
{
Log.d("redwing","server thread started.");
DatagramSocket serverSocket = null;
try
{
// Open Server Port
serverSocket = new DatagramSocket(server.SERVERPORT);
byte[] receiveData = new byte[32];
byte[] sendData = new byte[32];
// loop until "server_finished" becomes False.
while(createserver.server_finished)
{
if(renderer.gGL!=null) // ignore me, just a null pointer checker
{
// waiting for the incoming client's message packet
DatagramPacket receivePacket = new DatagramPacket(receiveData, receiveData.length);
serverSocket.receive(receivePacket);
renderer.recv = new String(receivePacket.getData());
Log.d("server","packet received from client, ETA " + timing.getNow() + " " + renderer.recv); // timing getNow - just returns current system minute & second.
// server is replying to the client back with a message.
InetAddress IPAddress = receivePacket.getAddress();
int port = receivePacket.getPort();
sendData = new String("server msg").getBytes();
DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length, IPAddress, port);
serverSocket.send(sendPacket);
renderer.sent = new String(sendData, 0, sendData.length);
Log.d("server","packet sent to client, ETA " + timing.getNow() + " " + renderer.sent); // timing getNow - just returns current system minute & second.
}
}
// close the socket
if(serverSocket!=null) serverSocket.close();
serverSocket = null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("server", "Error", e);
if(serverSocket!=null) serverSocket.close();
serverSocket = null;
}
finally
{
if(serverSocket!=null) serverSocket.close();
serverSocket = null;
}
Log.d("redwing","server thread terminated.");
}
}
and the Client java class (RE-EDITED, Client does not receive msg from Server) :
public class client implements Runnable
{
public static final int CLIENTPORT = 5000;
// running Client thread.
public void run()
{
Log.d("redwing","client thread started.");
DatagramSocket clientSocket = null;
try
{
// getting local address
clientSocket = new DatagramSocket(server.SERVERPORT);
InetAddress IPAddress = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.100");
// displaying IP & hostname.
Log.d("client", "IP: " + IPAddress.getHostAddress() + " Name: " + IPAddress.getHostName());
byte[] sendData = new byte[32];
byte[] receiveData = new byte[32];
// Loop until client_finished becomes False.
while(createclient.client_finished)
{
if(renderer.gGL!=null) // ignore me, just a null pointer checker
{
// sending a message to the server
sendData = timing.getNow().getBytes();
DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length, IPAddress, client.CLIENTPORT);
clientSocket.send(sendPacket);
renderer.sent = new String(sendData,0,sendData.length);;
Log.d("client","packet sent to server, ETA " + timing.getNow());
// waiting for the server packet message.
DatagramPacket receivePacket = new DatagramPacket(receiveData, receiveData.length);
clientSocket.receive(receivePacket);
renderer.recv = new String(receivePacket.getData());
Log.d("client","packet received from server, ETA " + timing.getNow());
}
}
// close the socket
if(clientSocket!=null) clientSocket.close();
clientSocket = null;
}
catch (Exception e)
{
Log.e("client", "Error", e);
if(clientSocket!=null) clientSocket.close();
clientSocket = null;
}
finally
{
if(clientSocket!=null) clientSocket.close();
clientSocket = null;
}
Log.d("redwing","client thread terminated.");
}
}
the Permisions are enabled in the manifest:
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE"/>
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>
<user-permission android:name="android.permission.NETWORK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_MULTICAST_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE"/>
I'm running the Server on the android PC Emulator, and the Client on my android Phone.
Both Client & Server threads run just fine but ... the problem is that i dont get any data exchanged between them. The client doesn't receive anyting and the server doesnt receive anything. The packets are sent but nothing received .
What im doing wrong ?
Please help me.
Thank you in advance.
