Objectbox error: "W/Box: [Cl-Lws] LWS: Unable to open socket [Cl-Lws] LWS client connection error: unable to open socket"

I am trying to sync my android application with the sync server, but the client doesn't seem to be able to connect to the server. The Admin UI is running perfectly on localhost:9980. The server is running on docker.

First I tried what the docs say "wss://127.0.0.1", then I tried with ws, then with the port number specified (both 9980 and 9999). Then I tried to configure the url.

{
    "dbDirectory": "objectbox",
    "bind": "ws://0.0.0.0:9999",
    "browserBind": "http://127.0.0.1:9980",
    "browserThreads": 4,
    "certificatePath": ""
}

None of it worked. Please help me how to find the correct address to connect.

UPDATE: In emulators you have to use 10.0.2.2 to reach localhost! In the MainActivity onCreate() method:

BoxStore boxStore = ObjectBox.get();

        SyncClient syncClient = Sync.client(
                boxStore,
                "ws://10.0.2.2", 
                SyncCredentials.none()
        ).buildAndStart();

Solution

  • SOLVED!

    The android application was missing these permissions:

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

    After adding these, everything worked fine!
