InetSocketAddress

open class InetSocketAddress : SocketAddress

kotlin.Any
↳	java.net.SocketAddress
	↳	java.net.InetSocketAddress

This class implements an IP Socket Address (IP address + port number) It can also be a pair (hostname + port number), in which case an attempt will be made to resolve the hostname. If resolution fails then the address is said to be unresolved but can still be used on some circumstances like connecting through a proxy.

It provides an immutable object used by sockets for binding, connecting, or as returned values.

The wildcard is a special local IP address. It usually means "any" and can only be used for bind operations.

Summary

Public constructors
`InetSocketAddress(port: Int)` Creates a socket address where the IP address is the wildcard address and the port number a specified value.
`InetSocketAddress(hostname: String!, port: Int)` Creates a socket address from a hostname and a port number.
`InetSocketAddress(addr: InetAddress!, port: Int)` Creates a socket address from an IP address and a port number.

Public methods
open static InetSocketAddress!	`createUnresolved(host: String!, port: Int)` Creates an unresolved socket address from a hostname and a port number.
Boolean	`equals(other: Any?)` Compares this object against the specified object.
InetAddress!	`getAddress()` Gets the `InetAddress`.
String!	`getHostName()` Gets the `hostname`.
String!	`getHostString()` Returns the hostname, or the String form of the address if it doesn't have a hostname (it was created using a literal).
Int	`getPort()` Gets the port number.
Int	`hashCode()` Returns a hashcode for this socket address.
Boolean	`isUnresolved()` Checks whether the address has been resolved or not.
open String	`toString()` Constructs a string representation of this InetSocketAddress.

Public constructors

InetSocketAddress

Added in API level 1

InetSocketAddress(port: Int)

Creates a socket address where the IP address is the wildcard address and the port number a specified value.

A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

Parameters
`port`	Int: The port number

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values.

InetSocketAddress

Added in API level 1

InetSocketAddress(
    hostname: String!, 
    port: Int)

Creates a socket address from a hostname and a port number.

An attempt will be made to resolve the hostname into an InetAddress. If that attempt fails, the address will be flagged as unresolved.

If there is a security manager, its checkConnect method is called with the host name as its argument to check the permission to resolve it. This could result in a SecurityException.

A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

Parameters
`hostname`	String!: the Host name
`port`	Int: The port number

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the port parameter is outside the range of valid port values, or if the hostname parameter is `null`.
`java.lang.SecurityException`	if a security manager is present and permission to resolve the host name is denied.

InetSocketAddress

Added in API level 1

InetSocketAddress(
    addr: InetAddress!, 
    port: Int)

Creates a socket address from an IP address and a port number.

A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

A null address will assign the wildcard address.

Parameters
`addr`	InetAddress!: The IP address
`port`	Int: The port number

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the port parameter is outside the specified range of valid port values.

Public methods

createUnresolved

Added in API level 1

open static fun createUnresolved(
    host: String!, 
    port: Int
): InetSocketAddress!

Creates an unresolved socket address from a hostname and a port number.

No attempt will be made to resolve the hostname into an InetAddress. The address will be flagged as unresolved.

A valid port value is between 0 and 65535. A port number of zero will let the system pick up an ephemeral port in a bind operation.

Parameters
`host`	String!: the Host name
`port`	Int: The port number

Return
`InetSocketAddress!`	an `InetSocketAddress` representing the unresolved socket address

Exceptions
`java.lang.IllegalArgumentException`	if the port parameter is outside the range of valid port values, or if the hostname parameter is `null`.

equals

Added in API level 1

fun equals(other: Any?): Boolean

Compares this object against the specified object. The result is true if and only if the argument is not null and it represents the same address as this object.

Two instances of InetSocketAddress represent the same address if both the InetAddresses (or hostnames if it is unresolved) and port numbers are equal. If both addresses are unresolved, then the hostname and the port number are compared. Note: Hostnames are case insensitive. e.g. "FooBar" and "foobar" are considered equal.

Parameters
`obj`	the object to compare against.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the objects are the same; `false` otherwise.

getAddress

Added in API level 1

fun getAddress(): InetAddress!

Gets the InetAddress.

Return
`InetAddress!`	the InetAddress or `null` if it is unresolved.

getHostName

Added in API level 1

fun getHostName(): String!

Gets the hostname. Note: This method may trigger a name service reverse lookup if the address was created with a literal IP address.

Return
`String!`	the hostname part of the address.

getHostString

Added in API level 19

fun getHostString(): String!

Returns the hostname, or the String form of the address if it doesn't have a hostname (it was created using a literal). This has the benefit of not attempting a reverse lookup.

Return
`String!`	the hostname, or String representation of the address.

getPort

Added in API level 1

fun getPort(): Int

Gets the port number.

Return
`Int`	the port number.

hashCode

Added in API level 1

fun hashCode(): Int

Returns a hashcode for this socket address.

Return
`Int`	a hash code value for this socket address.

isUnresolved

Added in API level 1

fun isUnresolved(): Boolean

Checks whether the address has been resolved or not.

Return
`Boolean`	`true` if the hostname couldn't be resolved into an `InetAddress`.

toString

Added in API level 1

open fun toString(): String

Constructs a string representation of this InetSocketAddress. This string is constructed by calling InetAddress.toString() on the InetAddress and concatenating the port number (with a colon).

If the address is an IPv6 address, the IPv6 literal is enclosed in square brackets, for example: "localhost/[0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1]:80". If the address is unresolved, <unresolved> is displayed in place of the address literal, for example "foo/<unresolved>:80".

To retrieve a string representation of the hostname or the address, use getHostString(), rather than parsing the string returned by this toString() method.

Return
`String`	a string representation of this object.
