Application closes when socket.bind() is called - JeroMQ on Android

I'm new to programming with Message Queues in general and I've been trying to work on a simple Android Application that uses ZeroMQ. I'm running both server and client program on the same device in separate Threads. This is my Server class:

public class ZeroMQServer implements Runnable{
private Handler uiThreadHandler;

public ZeroMQServer(Handler uiThreadHandler) {
    this.uiThreadHandler = uiThreadHandler;
}

@Override
public void run() {
    ZMQ.Context context = ZMQ.context(1);
    ZMQ.Socket socket = context.socket(ZMQ.REP);
    socket.bind("tcp://*:5570");

    while(!Thread.currentThread().isInterrupted()) {
        byte[] msg = socket.recv(0);
        uiThreadHandler.sendMessage(
                Util.bundledMessage(uiThreadHandler, new String(msg)));
        socket.send(Util.reverseInPlace(msg)+"", 0);
    }
    socket.close();
    context.term();
}

And this is the client class:

public class ZeroMQMessageTask extends AsyncTask<String, Void, String> {
private final Handler uiThreadHandler;

public ZeroMQMessageTask(Handler uiThreadHandler){
    this.uiThreadHandler = uiThreadHandler;
}

@Override
protected String doInBackground(String... params) {
    ZMQ.Context context = ZMQ.context(1);
    ZMQ.Socket socket = context.socket(ZMQ.REQ);
    socket.connect("tcp://localhost:5570");

    socket.send(params[0].getBytes(), 0);
    String result = new String(socket.recv(0));

    socket.close();
    context.term();

    return result;
}

@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String result) {
    uiThreadHandler.sendMessage(Util.bundledMessage(uiThreadHandler, result));
}

And this is the snippet of the main activity that starts the server in another Thread and implements a clickListener to call the client.

@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    textView = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.text_console);
    editText = (EditText)findViewById(R.id.text_message);

    new Thread(new ZeroMQServer(serverMessageHandler)).run();

    findViewById(R.id.button_send_message).setOnClickListener(
            new View.OnClickListener() {
                @Override
                public void onClick(View v) {
                    new ZeroMQMessageTask(clientMessageHandler).execute(getTaskInput());
                }

                protected String getTaskInput() {
                    return editText.getText().toString();
                }
            });
}

The problem I'm having is that as soon as the application starts it closes automatically. When I remove the socket.bind("tcp://*:5570"); line from the server, it doesn't close anymore, but also doesn't work the way it's supposed to, as the server won't listen.

I have both INTERNET and ACCESS_WIFI_STATE permissions granted in the manifest.

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

EDIT: I've put a breakpoint at the .bind() line, and this is the error I get:

Looks like a simple classNotFound error, but it refers to a class that comes with "android package", meaning it doesn't belong to any external libs. So how could it not be found?

Solution

  • The problem you are running into is the version of JeroMQ you are using isn't compatible with Android. This pull request: https://github.com/zeromq/jeromq/pull/471 added support for Android 10 and above but it only available on 0.4.3-SNAPSHOT.
