Testing activesync with android virtual devices

I am trying to setup a android virtual device to test syncing with an activesync-server. I followed these steps:

The problem is that syncing is not working at all, but there are no errors like connection errors ...

IMO the problem is that the virtual device only has a private IP, so the server never can send anything to it?

So I probably need some kind of forwarding, like here:

But I am not sure if that’s correct and I am also not sure which ports should be forwarded.

Here is the logcat, when I want to sync:

Solution

  • I don't think this is a problem with your networking setup. It looks like you have an error in your Sync code, that is causing the process to stop:

    E/[email protected]: Uncaught exception in EasSyncServicejava.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: length=32; index=32 E/[email protected]: Sync ended due to an exception.

    Wrap this code in a try/catch block to understand what is happening better.
