Public constructors

LocalServerSocket

Added in API level 1

LocalServerSocket(fd: FileDescriptor!)

Create a LocalServerSocket from a file descriptor that's already been created and bound. listen() will be called immediately on it. Used for cases where file descriptors are passed in via environment variables. The passed-in FileDescriptor is not managed by this class and must be closed by the caller. Calling #close() on a socket created by this method has no effect.

Parameters
`fd`	FileDescriptor!: bound file descriptor

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`

LocalServerSocket

Added in API level 1

LocalServerSocket(name: String!)

Parameters
`name`	String!: address for socket

Exceptions
`java.io.IOException`

Public methods

accept

open fun accept(): LocalSocket!

Accepts a new connection to the socket. Blocks until a new connection arrives.

Return
`LocalSocket!`	a socket representing the new connection.

open fun close(): Unit

Closes server socket.

Exceptions
`java.lang.Exception`	if this resource cannot be closed
`java.io.IOException`

getFileDescriptor

Added in API level 1

open fun getFileDescriptor(): FileDescriptor!

Returns file descriptor or null if not yet open/already closed

`FileDescriptor!`	fd or null

getLocalSocketAddress

Added in API level 1

Obtains the socket's local address

Return
`LocalSocketAddress!`	local address
