`FileDescriptor`	`getFileDescriptor()` Returns file descriptor or null if not yet open/already closed
`LocalSocketAddress`	`getLocalSocketAddress()` Obtains the socket's local address

Inherited methods

From class


        
          java.lang.Object

`Object`	`clone()` Creates and returns a copy of this object.
`boolean`	`equals(Object obj)` Indicates whether some other object is "equal to" this one.
`void`	`finalize()` Called by the garbage collector on an object when garbage collection determines that there are no more references to the object.
`final Class<?>`	`getClass()` Returns the runtime class of this `Object`.
`int`	`hashCode()` Returns a hash code value for the object.
`final void`	`notify()` Wakes up a single thread that is waiting on this object's monitor.
`final void`	`notifyAll()` Wakes up all threads that are waiting on this object's monitor.
`String`	`toString()` Returns a string representation of the object.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis, int nanos)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.
`final void`	`wait(long timeoutMillis)` Causes the current thread to wait until it is awakened, typically by being notified or interrupted, or until a certain amount of real time has elapsed.

Public constructors

LocalServerSocket

Added in API level 1

public LocalServerSocket (String name)

Creates a new server socket listening at specified name. On the Android platform, the name is created in the Linux abstract namespace (instead of on the filesystem).

Parameters
`name`	`String`: address for socket

Throws
	java.io.IOException
`IOException`

LocalServerSocket

Added in API level 1

public LocalServerSocket (FileDescriptor fd)

Create a LocalServerSocket from a file descriptor that's already been created and bound. listen() will be called immediately on it. Used for cases where file descriptors are passed in via environment variables. The passed-in FileDescriptor is not managed by this class and must be closed by the caller. Calling close() on a socket created by this method has no effect.

Parameters
`fd`	`FileDescriptor`: bound file descriptor

Throws
	java.io.IOException
`IOException`

Public methods

accept

Added in API level 1

public LocalSocket accept ()

Accepts a new connection to the socket. Blocks until a new connection arrives.

Returns
`LocalSocket`	a socket representing the new connection.

Throws
	java.io.IOException
`IOException`

close

Added in API level 1

public void close ()

Closes server socket.

Throws
	java.io.IOException
`IOException`

getFileDescriptor

Added in API level 1

public FileDescriptor getFileDescriptor ()

Returns file descriptor or null if not yet open/already closed

Returns
`FileDescriptor`	fd or null

getLocalSocketAddress

Added in API level 1

public LocalSocketAddress getLocalSocketAddress ()

Obtains the socket's local address

Returns
`LocalSocketAddress`	local address
