Android support about socket2

I deleted my earlier comments. Sorry. I responded to the wrong issue

As far as I know socket2 works on Android. Consider it returns a PermissionDenied error the code works, but you don't have permission. Looking at https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6778103/a-simple-socket-app-in-android-needs-some-special-permissions-to-connect-through, I think your app needs the INTERNET permission to work.

However Android development is out of scope for this issue tracking, you might be better of searching stackoverflow or similar for android network programming.

Sockets work on android. The standard library's TcpStream works just fine. Even socket2 Socket works just fine. However, the code I posted in this issue doesn't work. So the issue isn't with sockets on android. I think it's more to do with how datalink channel was implemented.

The code you post is fine, nothing wrong with it.

I also added the Internet permission by the way

Did this solve the issue?

I wouldn't consider this issue completed. You can go ahead and try out a simple socket implementation and then try out the example in the examples folder. You'd realise the issue I'm facing

I'm not an Android dev, so I'm not going to do that as I don't have an environment set up for it, or an Android phone for that matter.

If you still think this is an issue with socket2 I'm willing to reopen it, but I'll need some more information.
