# ServerSocketChannel Added in[API level 1](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) # ServerSocketChannel ``` abstract class ServerSocketChannel : AbstractSelectableChannel, NetworkChannel ``` |---|---|---|---|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [kotlin.Any](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-any/index.html) ||||| | ↳ | [java.nio.channels.spi.AbstractInterruptibleChannel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/spi/AbstractInterruptibleChannel) |||| | | ↳ | [java.nio.channels.SelectableChannel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/SelectableChannel) ||| | | | ↳ | [java.nio.channels.spi.AbstractSelectableChannel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/spi/AbstractSelectableChannel) || | | | | ↳ | [java.nio.channels.ServerSocketChannel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ServerSocketChannel#) | A selectable channel for stream-oriented listening sockets. A server-socket channel is created by invoking the[open](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ServerSocketChannel#open())method of this class. It is not possible to create a channel for an arbitrary, pre-existing[ServerSocket](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/ServerSocket.html#). A newly-created server-socket channel is open but not yet bound. An attempt to invoke the[accept](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ServerSocketChannel#accept())method of an unbound server-socket channel will cause a[NotYetBoundException](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/NotYetBoundException)to be thrown. A server-socket channel can be bound by invoking one of the[bind](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ServerSocketChannel#bind(java.net.SocketAddress,%20kotlin.Int))methods defined by this class. Socket options are configured using the[setOption](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ServerSocketChannel#setOption(java.net.SocketOption,%20java.nio.channels.ServerSocketChannel.setOption.T))method. Server-socket channels support the following options: | Option Name | Description | | [SO_RCVBUF](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/StandardSocketOptions.html#SO_RCVBUF:java.net.SocketOption) | The size of the socket receive buffer | | [SO_REUSEADDR](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/StandardSocketOptions.html#SO_REUSEADDR:java.net.SocketOption) | Re-use address | |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|---------------------------------------| Additional (implementation specific) options may also be supported.

Registers this channel with the given selector, returning a selection key. This method first verifies that this channel is open and that the given initial interest set is valid. If this channel is already registered with the given selector then the selection key representing that registration is returned after setting its interest set to the given value. Otherwise this channel has not yet been registered with the given selector, so the[register](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/spi/AbstractSelector#register(java.nio.channels.spi.AbstractSelectableChannel,%20kotlin.Int,%20kotlin.Any))method of the selector is invoked while holding the appropriate locks.

Closes this channel. After a channel is closed, any further attempt to invoke I/O operations upon it will cause a[ClosedChannelException](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ClosedChannelException)to be thrown. If this channel is already closed then invoking this method has no effect. This method may be invoked at any time. If some other thread has already invoked it, however, then another invocation will block until the first invocation is complete, after which it will return without effect.

If this channel is in non-blocking mode then this method will immediately return`null`if there are no pending connections. Otherwise it will block indefinitely until a new connection is available or an I/O error occurs. The socket channel returned by this method, if any, will be in blocking mode regardless of the blocking mode of this channel. This method performs exactly the same security checks as the[accept](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/ServerSocket.html#accept())method of the class. That is, if a security manager has been installed then for each new connection this method verifies that the address and port number of the connection's remote endpoint are permitted by the security manager's[checkAccept](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/lang/SecurityManager.html#checkAccept(kotlin.String,%20kotlin.Int))method. | Return || |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | [SocketChannel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/SocketChannel)! | The socket channel for the new connection, or`null`if this channel is in non-blocking mode and no connection is available to be accepted | | Exceptions || |------------------------------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException` | If this channel is closed | | `java.nio.channels.AsynchronousCloseException` | If another thread closes this channel while the accept operation is in progress | | `java.nio.channels.ClosedByInterruptException` | If another thread interrupts the current thread while the accept operation is in progress, thereby closing the channel and setting the current thread's interrupt status | | `java.nio.channels.NotYetBoundException` | If this channel's socket has not yet been bound | | `java.lang.SecurityException` | If a security manager has been installed and it does not permit access to the remote endpoint of the new connection | | `java.io.IOException` | If some other I/O error occurs | ### bind Added in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` fun bind(local: SocketAddress!): ServerSocketChannel! ``` Binds the channel's socket to a local address and configures the socket to listen for connections.

This method is used to establish an association between the socket and a local address. Once an association is established then the socket remains bound until the channel is closed. The`backlog`parameter is the maximum number of pending connections on the socket. Its exact semantics are implementation specific. In particular, an implementation may impose a maximum length or may choose to ignore the parameter altogther. If the`backlog`parameter has the value`0`, or a negative value, then an implementation specific default is used. | Parameters || |-----------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `local` | [SocketAddress](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/net/SocketAddress.html#)!:The address to bind the socket, or`null`to bind to an automatically assigned socket address | | `backlog` | [Int](https://kotlinlang.org/api/latest/jvm/stdlib/kotlin/-int/index.html):The maximum number of pending connections | | Return || |---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|--------------| | [ServerSocketChannel](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/nio/channels/ServerSocketChannel#)! | This channel | | Exceptions || |-----------------------------------------------------|-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | `java.nio.channels.AlreadyBoundException` | If the socket is already bound | | `java.nio.channels.UnsupportedAddressTypeException` | If the type of the given address is not supported | | `java.nio.channels.ClosedChannelException` | If this channel is closed | | `java.io.IOException` | If some other I/O error occurs | | `java.lang.SecurityException` | If a security manager has been installed and its[checkListen](https://developer.android.com/reference/kotlin/java/lang/SecurityManager.html#checkListen(kotlin.Int))method denies the operation | ### getLocalAddress Added in[API level 24](https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html#ApiLevels) ``` abstract fun getLocalAddress(): SocketAddress! ``` Returns the socket address that this channel's socket is bound to.
