Simple HTTP server running on Android

It's my old exercise "Implement simple HTTP server running on Android". Somebody report it's not work, so I re-try it on Android Studio. Actually the code is same as before, and work as expected. Please notice both the server and client have to connect in the same WiFi network.


Updated@2015-11-26:
This code NOT work on Android 5, may be all 5+ version.
Fixed, refer next post "socket.getInetAddress() return null on Android 5".


Work on Xiaomi Redmi 2, running Android 4.4.4

Thanks
