I am testing the IPv6 support in Android. For lack of an IPv6 environment, I use the link-local IPv6 address for test.
IPv6 is enabled on the phone and I can see my local IPv6 address with ip addr. I can also successfully ping6 my phone from the PC (I saw someone can ping6 the PC from phone, but I can't ping my link-local address using IPv6 and More APP). But hen I try to get local addresses on Android through the Java command NetworkInterface.getNetworkInterfaces() I only get IPv4 addresses. I also tryed to open a client socket but the line Socket s = new Socket(MYSERVERIPV6ADDRESS, PORT); always throws java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument. I am sure the address is correct because I tryed with the same code on my computer and works perfectly. However, i open a ServerSocket in my phone, using IPv6 address, PC can conncet to my phone. It seems that IPv6 is supported by the operating system but partly supported by the Java virtual machine in Android OS(as a server it can works). Is there a way to solve this problem?
