Android Question Error EADDRINUSE...

[SAM ShamsulBahrim]

Hi,

I wonder if someone can assist me as I once a while do get the following pop up error "address already in use (EADDRINUSE)" upon I click to run my B4A apps. Indeed, I do have UDP and TCP sockets in my apps...and I also found this link "http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ror-message-eaddrinuse-address-already-in-use" suggesting about:

You need to set SO_REUSEADDR before binding. Don't specify port in the constructor - create unbound socket instead with DatagramSocket(null), then set options, then bind() explicitly.


Any idea how to overcome the problem?

You are trying to open a port that is already open.

Thanks Erel. I placed my socket.close in the wrong place (under the Activity_Pause Sub). I've closed the socket under "If UserClosed = False". Now I placed it as the following:

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed AsBoolean)

If UserClosed = False Then

Else
myUDP.Close

End If

End Sub
