Custom Ssl Handling Stopped Working on Android 2.2 Froyo

Custom SSL handling stopped working on Android 2.2 FroYo

Here is the answer, with many, many thanks to a helpful Seesmic developer willing to share the fix:

In the custom socket factory, the socket creation (with createSocket) has apparently been changed specifically for the SSLSocketFactory implementation. So the old:

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port, boolean autoClose)
                    throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
            return getSSLContext().getSocketFactory().createSocket();
    }

Needs to be changed to:

    @Override
    public Socket createSocket(Socket socket, String host, int port, boolean autoClose)
                    throws IOException, UnknownHostException {
            return getSSLContext().getSocketFactory().createSocket(socket, host, port, autoClose);
    }

And then it worked again for me!

UPDATE: As this is still a popular answer, let me update my link to working code. This SSl-enabled socket factory that support modern protocols (TLS 1.1+), SNI and optionally allows to accept all certificates (insecure, ignores all SSL certificates) or a self-signed certificates (by SHA-1 hash).

Regarding Froyo Android 2.2

It means you have no preference for where the application is installed; it can be installed in either the sdcard or the main memory, depending on the device's preferences.

Geocoder not working in Android 2.2 and beyond

Found that its an issue with the Emulator, but not with the real devices.

Self-signed SSL acceptance on Android

I have this functionality in exchangeIt, which connects to Microsoft exchange via WebDav. Here's some code to create an HttpClient which will connect to self signed cert's via SSL:

SchemeRegistry schemeRegistry = new SchemeRegistry();
// http scheme
schemeRegistry.register(new Scheme("http", PlainSocketFactory.getSocketFactory(), 80));
// https scheme
schemeRegistry.register(new Scheme("https", new EasySSLSocketFactory(), 443));

HttpParams params = new BasicHttpParams();
params.setParameter(ConnManagerPNames.MAX_TOTAL_CONNECTIONS, 30);
params.setParameter(ConnManagerPNames.MAX_CONNECTIONS_PER_ROUTE, new ConnPerRouteBean(30));
params.setParameter(HttpProtocolParams.USE_EXPECT_CONTINUE, false);
HttpProtocolParams.setVersion(params, HttpVersion.HTTP_1_1);

ClientConnectionManager cm = new ThreadSafeClientConnManager(params, schemeRegistry);

The EasySSLSocketFactory is here, and the EasyX509TrustManager is here.

The code for exchangeIt is open source, and hosted on googlecode here, if you have any issues. I'm not actively working on it anymore, but the code should work.

Note that since Android 2.2 the process has changed a bit, so check this to make the code above work.
