Hello everyone.
I'm trying to connect with a computer (face it as a "server", I just
have to access a database) in my app, based on the computer's name. It
works fine with the IP, but I truly need to establish this connection
based in the hostname (the IP is not guaranteed to be static). The
computer is on windows 7.
This line of code keeps giving me an UnknownHostException
>>>>>> String ip = InetAddress.getByName("server-PC").getHostAddress();
That's where the weird stuff begins: it works perfectly if put
"www.google.com" instead of "server-PC". It also works if I try to get
the IP from a random non-android project in another computer in the
same local network.
I believe it's important to highlight the fact that I don't need a
connection with the Internet, just with my "local server", and that
I'm running my application in a real device, not in a emulator.
Thanks in advance,
Luiz
p.s.: sorry if something is not fully comprehensible because of my
english.
