Android http connection refused

I created an Android test program with service and activity.
In activity I start sticky service. Service make http requests every 10 seconds.
If I not exit from activity, all works fine. If I exit, service works sometime, then killed by system and restarted. After restart sometimes http requests works, sometimes gives an error message:

After the appearance of this error, the following requests will also fail.
I tried to start service in another process, tried to start each http request in new IntentService, tried to restart service after this error, but no results.
If an error has occurred, then other subsequent requests will also give an error. Only application restart helps.
Has anyone encountered such problem? How to make a stable connection? I read a lot of topics, but did not find the right answer.

Update 05.10.17 I still not find a solution. I tested this programm on Android 4.1.2. It works fine. On Android 5.1.1 it works about 3 minutes after exiting the activity and then I receive connection refused error. When I return to activity, errors disappears. On Android 6.0.1 similar situation, but the error is slightly different java.net.SocketTimeoutException: failed to connect to /94.130.25.242 (port 80) after 10000ms. I think that the system blocks network activity in services after a while, but never in activities (?).
Update 05.10.17
I noticed that the connection disappears not only after the restart of the service, but also after 2-3 minutes, when exiting activity. When I return to activity, connections are restored.
I have made a video Link
Update 06.10.17
One Android specialist told me, that this problem appear only in Xiaomi phones. MIUI rejects network connections after some minutes. Only OkHttp helps. I will try it and will make feedback here.

A "connect failed: ECONNREFUSED (Connection refused)" most likely means that there is nothing listening on that port AND that IP address. Possible explanations include:
the service has crashed or hasn't been started,
your client is trying to connect using the wrong IP address or port,
or
server access is being blocked by a firewall that is "refusing" on
the server/service's behalf. This is pretty unlikely given that
normal practice (these days) is for firewalls to "blackhole" all
unwanted connection attempts.

It is impossible to use long network connections in background on Xiaomi phones. It's MIUI blocks any network connections after some time. For critical network connections, you can use Firebase Cloud Messaging, which have high priority in Android system. It can initiate necesary background job.

how to resolve failed to connect to /192.168.15.186 (port 80): connect failed: ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out) in Windows Firewall

I'm trying to test android studio connection to mysql based on this tutorial using my android device for debugging purposes instead of android emulator. But the problem is, it results to:
java.net.ConnectException: failed to connect to /192.168.15.186 (port 80): connect failed: ETIMEDOUT (Connection timed out)
Take note that this is running on real device. localhost or 127.0.0.1:80 would return a result of ECONNREFUSED because obviously, this are computer addresses that the database aren't in the device but in the computer itself so it would be a completely waste of time if I test these 2 out or any alternative IP's.
I've tested out 10.0.2.2:80/login.php on emulator and it returns a true result hinting that the login and connection is success.
So I'm guessing that maybe the connection is block through the windows firewall, but I dont know how to modify it.

I had the same Issue today, and i solved it by making my PC discoverable in private networks.
Steps to make your PC Discoverable:
Go to network settings.
>Go to Manage known networks.
>Choose your network.
>Now turn on the PC discoverable feature.
It helped for me, i hope it will help you.

I have faced such problem but overcome through allow port 1433(my port) to firewall .
I have Followed below Steps:
Configure Firewall and Security Setting -> Advanced Setting ->Inbound Rules -> New Rule-> Port -> Next ->Specific Local Port(1433)->Next-> Allow the Connection -> Next ->Next-> Add Name-> Finish

I also faced the same problem today and I solved it when I turned off the fire wall and network protection setting.

I solved my problem when I change Network profile from private to public.

PHP file -> Checking.Php
<?php
echo "Success! This message is from PHP";
?>
The PHP page works fine when invoked from browser.

The problem looks like your Apache configuration might be listening on the wrong ip address. Android is trying to access the ip address 192.168.1.8:8383 and your Apache server needs to be on the same network with your Android device. I would recommend that you make sure your Android device is on the same network as the Apache server and that your server is setup to listen on the correct ip address that Android is trying to connect too.

Timeout issue is resolved, this is what I did, I had added IPV4 to Listen command in httpd.conf file and disabled temporarily the antivirus gateway (that was preventing request from hitting the server) –

Getting FileNotFoundException when trying to upload File to Google Cloud Storage

I'm trying to upload an image from Android to Cloud Storage. I'm following this official guide on how to upload files to Google Cloud Storage using the JSON API. Here is my code

urlConnection.setRequestMethod("POST");
urlConnection.setChunkedStreamingMode(0);
urlConnection.setRequestProperty("Content-Type", "image/jpeg");

I don't have a clue if this is a problem on the client side or the server side

I got it work after making a few changes. I was getting a 401 Unauthorized Error code which means I didn't have authorization to access the bucket.
So instead of appending the query parameter key=api_key, i appended access_token=auth_token to authorize requests.
I then added allUsers permission to my bucket (making it public for everyone to write and read) and it worked.

Android HttpClient Asynctask

I have been stuck on this problem for a day or two now, so i decided to see if anyone out there could help me.
The current goal i have, is to make a HttpPost that connects to, and executes a script that i have on my Wamp server. I have implemented a class that extends AsyncTask, and includes the 3 necessary methods, that are required in order for it to work effectively.
I will first show you the code that i have used to put the variables into a Json Object, followed by the JSONParser class, that initializes the HttpPost and then executes it.
Afterwards i will tell you all about the log errors and the narrowing down of the problem; you all problem know what the problem may be already, and if you don't want to read below, briefly, it is caused by the line of code that calls the parser class.
Note: I am using this as a starting point for this type of work, so please understand that it is simple in terms of its passed parameters.
Further Note: I am using Eclipse, and i am testing with the inbuilt Emulator.
METHOD - CreateNewUser
/**
* Background Async Task to Create new user
*/
class CreateNewUser extends AsyncTask<String, String, String>{
/**
* Before starting background thread show progress dialog
*/
#Override
protected void onPreExecute(){
super.onPreExecute();
pDialog = new ProgressDialog(AddUserActivity.this);
pDialog.setIndeterminate(false);
pDialog.setCancelable(true);
pDialog.show();
}
/*
* Creating user
*/
#Override
protected String doInBackground(String... args){
String username = inputUsername.getText().toString();
String password = inputPassword.getText().toString();
// Building parameters
List<NameValuePair> params = new ArrayList<NameValuePair>();
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("username", username));
params.add(new BasicNameValuePair("password", password));
// getting JSON object
// Note that create user url accepts POST method
JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(url_create_user, "POST",params);
// check log cat for response
Log.d("Create Response", json.toString());
// check for success tag
try {
int success = json.getInt(TAG_SUCCESS);
if (success == 1) {
// successfully created product
Intent i = new Intent(getApplicationContext(), MainActivity.class);
startActivity(i);
// closing this screen
finish();
} else {
// failed to create product
}
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return null;
}
/**
* After completing background task Dismiss the progress dialog
* **/
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String file_url) {
// dismiss the dialog once done
pDialog.dismiss();
}
}
Next, the JSONParser Class:
public class JSONParser {
static InputStream is = null;
static JSONObject jObj = null;
static String json = "";
// constructor
public JSONParser() {
}
// function get JSON from URL
// by making HTTP POST or GET method
public JSONObject makeHttpRequest(String url, String method,
List<NameValuePair> params) {
// Making HTTP request
try {
// check for request method
if(method == "POST"){
// request method is POST
// defaultHttpClient
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
HttpPost httpPost = new HttpPost(url);
httpPost.setEntity(new UrlEncodedFormEntity(params));
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpPost);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}else if(method == "GET"){
// request method is GET
DefaultHttpClient httpClient = new DefaultHttpClient();
String paramString = URLEncodedUtils.format(params, "utf-8");
url += "?" + paramString;
HttpGet httpGet = new HttpGet(url);
HttpResponse httpResponse = httpClient.execute(httpGet);
HttpEntity httpEntity = httpResponse.getEntity();
is = httpEntity.getContent();
}
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
try {
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(
is, "iso-8859-1"), 8);
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = null;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
sb.append(line + "\n");
}
is.close();
json = sb.toString();
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Buffer Error", "Error converting result " + e.toString());
}
// try parse the string to a JSON object
try {
jObj = new JSONObject(json);
} catch (JSONException e) {
Log.e("JSON Parser", "Error parsing data " + e.toString());
}
// return JSON String
return jObj;
}
}
If i remove the line : ( JSONObject json = jsonParser.makeHttpRequest(url_create_user, "POST",params); ) - of course with intending the try catch out, then the program does not crash, when i press the button that calls the CreateNewUser class.
If i do not do that, my program brings up a loading screen that swirls around until it becomes unresponsive, and asks me to close down the application.

The script files themselves work as far as i am aware - besides, the program never executes the script from what i can tell.
If anyone could help me out, i would really appreciate it! I understand you are all busy people, so thank you so much for taking some time out of your day if you do post ideas :)

The clue is in the exception thrown:
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Target host must not be
null, or set in parameters. scheme=null, host=null,
path=localhost/android_connect/sqlconfig/create_user.php
I'm going to guess that there is an encoding problem, have you correctly included the "http://" at the beginning of your URL and have you printed the url you are requesting to LogCat to make sure it looks correct?
