我应该为Android使用哪些端口？

Question

I am currently creating an Android application. The application will be communicating with a server and also other Android devices running the same application. The server uses PHP with a MySQL database.

Is there a convention for what ports to use in Android?

Is it a good idea to hard code what ports to use or should they be different every time?

Answer 1

There is no convention for using ports.

You may hardcode your ports (and I really suggest doing that, because it makes it a whole lot easier to code and manage).

It is however considered good practice to not interfere with ports for existing applications, HTTP (port 80) for example. Just pick an unused or rarely used port from this list .
