How to set the LocalHost property when using the MCast or UDP component in Android Applications
To properly use the MCast or UDP component within Android applications, it's essential for the user to designate the LocalHost property as "0.0.0.0" as shown below:
mcast.LocalHost = "0.0.0.0";
By default, Android devices are not configured to accept UDP multicast or broadcast messages indiscriminately from all sources. Consequently, unless the LocalHost property is explicitly set to "0.0.0.0", the MCast and UDP components will only acknowledge messages that are directly sent to the specified IP address in the LocalHost property.
