IBM Worklight Android Build and Deploy errors

Question

I am building an Android application using IBM Worklight. I keep getting the follow errors:

android build failed: java.net.UnknownHostException: nodename nor servname provided, or not known
Application 'WellPointMobile' with environment 'android' build finished with errors.

How can I stop these errors from appearing in Eclipse?

Answer 1

This is not related to Worklight, but to OS X and Java.
Have you searched the error in Google?

See here: http://biomedicalontologies.com/2012/11/14/fixing-java-net-local-host-name-unknown-error-on-mac-os-x/

You can also edit your hosts file: Open Terminal and:

1. Type hostname; copy the value.

2. Type sudo vi /etc/hosts; type your password

   My hosts file looks like this:

   127.0.0.1 mbp-idan localhost
   255.255.255.255 broadcasthost ::1 localhost

   You should see something similar. Simply add your hostname after "127.0.0.1".

3. Log out of the user account and log back in. The error should no longer happen in Eclipse.
