Question

Hi I am working on android app in which I have integrated BigQuery. I see we are getting a lot of exception sometimes while inserting records in BigQuery tables. We are not

Answer 1

This Exception Thrown to indicate that the IP address of a host could not be determined.

This exception is also raised when you are connected to a valid wifi but router does not receive the internet. Its very easy to reproduce this:

Connect to a valid wifi Now remove the cable from the router while router is pluged-in

You will observe this error!!

You can't really solve this, You can only notify the user gracefully. (something like - "Unable to make a connection")

also make sure you have added the permission in AndroidManifest.xml.

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

Answer 2

Have you added the INTERNET permission to your manifest file.

If not, add below line outside the application tag in your AndroidManifest.xml:

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