title: How to connect Android app to an static ip address
body: <p>I am trying to develop an app which needs to connect to another device via wifi. I know the IP address of the other device, however when I try to connect to it, I am not able. </p>
  
  <pre><code>private static String getUrl(String direccion) throws ConnectException{
  
      try {
          URL u = new URL("http://192.168.1.216");
  
          HttpURLConnection co = (HttpURLConnection) u.openConnection();
          BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(co.getInputStream()));
          String line;
  
          while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) 
              //buffer.append(line);
              System.out.println(line);
  
           reader.close();
           co.disconnect();
           System.out.println("######InputStream CORRECTA... "+u);
  
           return line;
      } catch (MalformedURLException e) {
          throw new ConnectException();
  
      } catch (java.net.ConnectException e){
          throw e;
  
      } catch (IOException e) {
          throw new ConnectException();
      } 
  }
