Android: ping server

When trying to connect from Android device to a given server sometimes you need to test if such connection exists:

1: Try from your computer is server is listening on IP_ADDRESS (192.168.x.xx) and given PORT (5xxx)


$ telnet 192.168.x.xx 5xxx

Trying 192.168.x.xx...

Connected to imx6qsabrelite.




2: From command line see if Android can ping the server:


$ adb shell ping 192.168.x.xx

PING 192.168.x.xx (192.168.x.xx) 56(84) bytes of data.

64 bytes from 192.168.x.xx: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=2.65 ms

My favorite quotations..


“A man should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.”  by Robert A. Heinlein
