SocketIO exception while using Android client for socketIO

Question

I am building an Android chat application. I am using nodejs at server end and trying to implement android client for socketIO. I am getting SocketIO exception . What is wrong with the codes ?

Server

var http = require('http'),fs = require('fs');

var app = http.createServer(function (req, res) {

res.end();
                                                      }).listen(8000, '127.0.0.1');

var io = require('socket.io').listen(app);

io.sockets.on('connection', function(socket) {
socket.on('echo', function(data) {
socket.emit('echoback', data);
});
});

Client

    } catch (MalformedURLException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();
    }
    socket.connect(new IOCallback() {

            if ("echoback".equals(event) && args.length > 0) {

                t.setText("s ");
                // -> "hello"
            }
        }

        @Override
        public void onConnect() {}
    });
    socket.emit("echo", "hello");        
    ///

@Override
public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
    // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
    getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.activity_main, menu);
    return true;
}

}

Check if you put INTERNET PERMISSION in the Manifest . If you don't, put:

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