Can't make SocketServer in the emulator

[Jane Jukowsky]

Here is my code:

  			ServerSocket ss = new ServerSocket(5535);
			ss.accept();
  

Everything works fine in debugger, accept() blocks as it should. When I then go to telnet, it fails.

telnet localhost 5535
Connecting To localhost...Could not open connection to the host, on port 5535: C
onnect failed 

Same code in a standalone Java application works fine (but a dialog pops asking for permission, as it should)

What could that be?


My manifest:

    
[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
      package="com.example.helloandroid"
      android:versionCode="1"
      android:versionName="1.0">
    <application android:icon="@drawable/icon" android:label="@string/app_name">
        <activity android:name=".HelloAndroid"
                  android:label="@string/app_name">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

    </application>


<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"></uses-permission>

</manifest>
