• java.lang.Object

Fields Summary
static SocketFactory	defaultFactory

Constructors Summary
protected SocketFactory() Creates a new {@code SocketFactory} instance. since Android 1.0

Methods Summary
public java.net.Socket	createSocket() Creates a new socket which is not connected to any remote host. This method has to be overridden by a subclass otherwise a {@code SocketException} is thrown. return the created unconnected socket. throws IOException if an error occurs while creating a new socket. since Android 1.0 // follow RI's behavior throw new SocketException("Unconnected sockets not implemented");
public abstract java.net.Socket	createSocket(java.lang.String host, int port) Creates a new socket which is connected to the remote host specified by the parameters {@code host} and {@code port}. The socket is bound to any available local address and port. param host the remote host address the socket has to be connected to. param port the port number of the remote host at which the socket is connected. return the created connected socket. throws IOException if an error occurs while creating a new socket. throws UnknownHostException if the specified host is unknown or the IP address could not be resolved. since Android 1.0
public abstract java.net.Socket	createSocket(java.lang.String host, int port, java.net.InetAddress localHost, int localPort) Creates a new socket which is connected to the remote host specified by the parameters {@code host} and {@code port}. The socket is bound to the local network interface specified by the InetAddress {@code localHost} on port {@code localPort}. param host the remote host address the socket has to be connected to. param port the port number of the remote host at which the socket is connected. param localHost the local host address the socket is bound to. param localPort the port number of the local host at which the socket is bound. return the created connected socket. throws IOException if an error occurs while creating a new socket. throws UnknownHostException if the specified host is unknown or the IP address could not be resolved. since Android 1.0
public abstract java.net.Socket	createSocket(java.net.InetAddress host, int port) Creates a new socket which is connected to the remote host specified by the InetAddress {@code host}. The socket is bound to any available local address and port. param host the host address the socket has to be connected to. param port the port number of the remote host at which the socket is connected. return the created connected socket. throws IOException if an error occurs while creating a new socket. since Android 1.0
public abstract java.net.Socket	createSocket(java.net.InetAddress address, int port, java.net.InetAddress localAddress, int localPort) Creates a new socket which is connected to the remote host specified by the InetAddress {@code address}. The socket is bound to the local network interface specified by the InetAddress {@code localHost} on port {@code localPort}. param address the remote host address the socket has to be connected to. param port the port number of the remote host at which the socket is connected. param localAddress the local host address the socket is bound to. param localPort the port number of the local host at which the socket is bound. return the created connected socket. throws IOException if an error occurs while creating a new socket. since Android 1.0
public static synchronized javax.net.SocketFactory	getDefault() Gets the default socket factory of the system which can be used to create new sockets without creating a subclass of this factory. return the system default socket factory. since Android 1.0 if (defaultFactory == null) { defaultFactory = new DefaultSocketFactory(); } return defaultFactory;
