I have two apps a TCP server and a client app. I have to use redir add tcp:5000:6000 to get the client to talk to the server. but if I try to load the apps on two actual devices the client fails because it can't connect.

How can I get the two apps on the two different devices to talk to each other like the simulator? This is what I'm using for TCP TCP EXAMPLE APP

In the Client.java file change the following two lines...

private static final int SERVERPORT = 5000; private static final String SERVER_IP = "10.0.2.2";

SERVERPORT needs to be the same number as that in the Server.java file, i.e., 6000.

SERVER_IP needs to be the actual IP address of the Android device running the server app.
