Hi ,
I have imported the Android client project provided as part of M2M package.(mqttExerciser)
This when deployed into a Android emulator , it opens up MQTT app.
ClientID, MQTT server IP ( In my case it is my MQ running locally ) , telemetry port ( 1883 ) - These are required by the app to establish connection to MQ Telemetry Server .
I have followed the same steps as described in
For some reason I have never been successful in establishing connection to MQTT server from android app. I always get " Unknown error occurred while connecting to [ Server ]"
Android "Log Cat" does not give any useful info for debugging.
Wanted to know if any one has faced similar issue ? or was it a cake walk as described in developer work link . If so what am I missing. Please suggest
Thanks |

What do you mean by "my MQ running locally"?
Unless you enable the Telemetry daemon, an MQ queue manager does not speak MQTT. |

Hi,
- Did you install Telemetry Service (and Telemetry Clients) when you installed MQ?
- What version of MQ are you using?
- As Jeff mentioned, did you enable it? In MQ Explorer, in the left panel, click Telemetry then click the link to enable it
- Have you tested your setup with the MQTT Client Utility included with MQ Explorer? i.e. In MQ Explorer, in the left panel, click Telemetry then click 'Run MQTT Client Utility'.
- Are you running your Android device inside (WiFi) or outside (3G/4G) of your network?
Regards,

I am using MQ 7.5 Yes, I have installed Telemetry service and it is up and running.
I have tested using Java client provided in M2M package it works fine, I am able to connect to MQ server and publish messages.
Have you tested your setup with the MQTT Client Utility included with MQ Explorer - Yes I have done this. I am able to connect and perform Pub Sub on topics.
my MQ running locally - MQ is running in the same machine where my deploying the Android emulator.
Are you running your Android device inside (WiFi) or outside (3G/4G) of your network? - I m running Android emulator in my PC and my PC is using Wifi. - Did I get your question rite ?
Thanks [/b] |

The MQTT daemon also acts as a lightweight HTTP server. You might see if you can get the browser running in the Android Emulator to reach the same MQTT hostname/port #.
This will allow you to verify that the network configuration that the Android emulator has allows it to reach the MQTT port, rather than having to worry that something in your code is wrong. |

- Does the emulator allow outbound connections?
- Windows likes to separate network interfaces, maybe you have a firewall issue.
- Is the queue manager running on the same PC as where you are running the emulator?
- Did you try connecting to Eclipse's Paho project at "tcp://m2m.eclipse.org:1883"

From your comments I understand I need to correct network settings in Emulator.
Tried following :
1.Unable to connect to internet from emulator - Opened browser to hit google it failed.
2.Opened browser and used the IP : 10.0.2.2:1883 ( Alias for local machine's loopback address ) - This worked . Browser opened IBM Messaging page.
Now in the process of understanding emulator's router redirection to allow outbound TCP. Shall post once I get this cleared.
Thanks for putting me on rite direction. |

You have to have installed the Telemetry feature.
You might want to play with the developer VM of MessageSight as well. |
