Converting string to IP Address in java(android)

Question

When i convert string ("192.168.0.105") to InetAddress in java (android). I am getting "/192.168.0.105". An extra "/" is coming in InetAddress, which causes the socket not to be created.

How do i get rid of "/".

Regards,

How do you convert? InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.105"); ? — Anders Lindahl

InetAddress = serverIP=Inet4Address.getByName(ip); clientSocket = new Socket(serverIP , serverPort); — Mustehsan Ikram

You can use getHostAddress() method of InetAddress to get host address without /.

And if you are using InetSocketAddress then use getAddress().getHostAddress() to get host ip without /.

InetAddress inetAddress = InetAddress.getByName("192.168.0.105");
System.out.println(inetAddress.getHostAddress());

InetSocketAddress address = new InetSocketAddress("192.168.0.105", 5555);
System.out.println(address.getAddress().getHostAddress());

my problem is that i need to open Socket after getting InetAddress

Harry Joy Over a year ago

@Mustehsan: in that case use java Socket to open and communicate through socket. Read this: download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/networking/sockets/… and this: zerioh.tripod.com/ressources/sockets.html

I am currently doing it. but my problem is that as InetAddress is wrong thus socket is not being created.

I am getting following exception on socket creation java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Transport endpoint is not connected

@Mustehsan: are you sure ip is reachable?
