thanks for the response. i'd previously checked the samples included with the SDK for network code and found none. but then it occurred to me to check the manifest anyway for correct permissions syntax.
sure enough, i had the <uses-permissions> inside <application> when it should have been inside <manifest>. ideally the DTD etc would have caught this, but at least i have the solution. now on to the next problem... :-] thanks again, j >If you are seeing "java.net.SocketException : unknown error" when >trying to use the network in Android it is probably the permissions. >I know you have read this thread and you say you have the permission >there, but I would triple check it and make sure it's correct. > >I was getting this error message in a bunch of apps that were written >pre 0.9/1.0 and as soon as I added the permission to them they started >working again (the networking that is, I also had to make the other >non network related API changes of course - but that stuff is >unrelated to this message/issue). > >I was confounded by this error message for a while too, checking over >my code that I knew worked from before, debugging, etc - really vague, >unhelpful, that should be improved, but the network DOES work as >expected once you have the proper permission. > >On Oct 2, 5:57 pm, juvation <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> doesn't work for me! :-( >> >> i still get the same error with the uses-permission tag there. >> >> can i get any detail on this error? java's error messages are usually >> informative, but not this one... >> >> thanks in advance for any help with this. >> j >> >> On Aug 20, 1:33 am, brad <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> >> > I see. >> > It works now. >> > Thanks a lot : ) >> >> > Brad > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
