Hi there

I'm developing an Android app which relies heavily on TCP.

getCanonicalHostName() on Android 2.1 seems to always return an IP
address instead of the host name. The documentation for
getCanonicalHostName states:

"If there is a security manager, this method first calls its
checkConnect method with the hostname and -1 as its arguments to see
if the calling code is allowed to know the hostname for this IP
address, i.e., to connect to the host. If the operation is not
allowed, it will return the textual representation of the IP address."

So I assume there's a security manager installed and that it's
disallowing my request.

So my questions are, how can I check if a security manager is
installed, and can I replace/modify it so that getCanonicalHostName()
will work?

Thanks!
