Is Multicast broken for Android 2.0.1 (currently on the DROID) or am I missing something?

Answer 1

I've implemented another test, this time using UDP Broadcast. It works.

Conclusion: To the extent of my knowledge Motorola Droid phones on firmware 2.0.1 don't support multicast, but you can always use regular DatagramPackets on the broadcast address.

Answer 2

Does your app only work on a WiFi network or have you tested it on your provider's network? I cannot get ServerSocket or DatagramSocket to work on my provider's network, but it works on my LAN all day long.

Answer 3

I am trying to receive Multicast packets on my Nexus-One (firmware 2.1.1). I used the above code, but had no luck so far. Can you please attach your complete source so I can compare it with mine?

Thanks, Eyal

Answer 4

Thanks for the update. I've tried it on my Nexus-1 and it works great.

Thanks again, Eyal
