BindException with INTERNET permission requested

Question

I have seen several questions regarding SocketException when using Android, but none of them cover the BindException that I get even with the INTERNET permission specified i

Answer 1

Try add permission android.permission.INTERNET it worked for me

Answer 2

anyone know how to bind to ports lower than 1024 in Android?

Either root your phone, modify the firmware, or don't bind to ports lower than 1024. That's a Linux thing more than an Android thing.
