How to create Yahoo Messenger Client in Android?

Question

Hi I am trying to create Yahoo messenger client in Android, and i got Openymsg api to implement that.This is small snippet of my code

        Session session=new Session();
        session.login("Email Id", "password");

But this code is throwing UnknownHost Exception in "scs.msg.yahoo.com".I dont know how to fix this.If any body knows it please help me.

Answer 1

Have you trapped the packets to see if they give you any exception details? Try to use wireshark or tcpdump to view the entire session.

Answer 2

Does it only happen in the emulator?

I've had the emulator somehow "drop" the connection on occasion. Restarting the emulator always fixes it..

Answer 3

have you tried this? cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com adding cn subdomain in scs.msg.yahoo.com

Please let me know if you have finished the yahoo messenger. I am trying to do the same. I am having some problems. Maybe you can help me. All the best.

Most likely you haven't included the INTERNET permission.

Add this to your AndroidManifest.xml:

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
