Can someone advise me on how to solve SSLHandshakeException in Android? See below the error I keep getting for this one URL that I am trying to access using HttpURLConnection object.

See the code of my method below

        HttpURLConnection urlConnection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        try {
            InputStream in = urlConnection.getInputStream();
            Scanner scanner = new Scanner(in);
            scanner.useDelimiter("\\A");

            boolean hasInput = scanner.hasNext();
            if (hasInput) {
                return scanner.next();
            } else {
                return null;
            }
        } finally {
            urlConnection.disconnect();
        }
    }

  • Something is wrong with the server. As you have not posted the URL you use we can't help you on this problem. Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 19:23

    if faced this issue in the phone with Android 9 or above, and your URL starts with http:// instead of https://, try to add this line in your manifest.xml android:usesCleartextTraffic="true". Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 19:36
  • TLSV1_ALERT_PROTOCOL_VERSION: This is the actual reason. In this case, it probably means the server doesn't like the TLS version the client is offering. Perhaps the server requires TLS 1.2, and the device is too old to support it. Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 20:29

    According to SSL Server Test, this server only supports TLS 1.3. Commented Jan 7, 2020 at 21:30

I can't take any credit for this article but this will show you what packages need to be installed to fix the TLS/SSLv3 issue.

The other thing that you may need to do is add

<application
  android:usesCleartextTraffic="true"
  ...
>

to your AndroidManifest.xml, which is something that I needed to do during unit tests.

Even after enabling clearTextTraffic. I had same error. This answer helped me. I faced this issue only on older Android versions. https://stackoverflow.com/a/59346159/5424603
