Question

I am trying to access from an Android device over WiFi a local web server which I can access from my laptop either on the browser, or using curl. I can also access the server on the android device browser.

The code I am using to access the server yields a “connection refused” exception.

This is the code:

public void getController1() {
  HttpClient httpclient = new DefaultHttpClient();
  HttpGet httpget = new HttpGet("http://192.168.1.169:8000");
  HttpResponse response = null;
  System.out.println(httpget.toString());
  try {
    response= httpclient.execute(httpget);
    txtViewStatus.setText("Controller 1 - OK"+response);
  } catch(Exception e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
    txtViewStatus.setText("Controller 1 - Error"+e);
  }
}

Problem solved. The issue was a corrupted manifest file. I deleted the permission lines and re-typed them in and now the problem is gone
