## Public constructors

### LocalServerSocket

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public LocalServerSocket (FileDescriptor fd)
```

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 `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/LocalServerSocket#close()` on a socket created by this method has no effect.

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `fd` | `FileDescriptor`: bound file descriptor <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
|   | java.io.IOException |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/IOException` |   |

### LocalServerSocket

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)

```
public LocalServerSocket (String name)
```

Creates a new server socket listening at specified name. On the Android platform, the name is created in the Linux abstract namespace (instead of on the filesystem).

<br />

| Parameters ||
|---|---|
| `name` | `String`: address for socket <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|
|   | java.io.IOException |
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/java/io/IOException` |   |

## Public methods

### accept

```
public LocalSocket accept ()
```

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

<br />

| Returns ||
|---|---|
| `https://developer.android.com/reference/android/net/LocalSocket` | a socket representing the new connection. <br /> |

| Throws ||
|---|---|

### close

Added in [API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element#ApiLevels)
