connect to socket.IO from native android

I am developing a chat for service for my application and have been trying to connect to socket.io from my native android application. I am using :-

my activity class looks like

private Socket socket;

@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    this.setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

    message = (EditText) findViewById(R.id.editText1);
    send = (Button) findViewById(R.id.button1);

    try {
        socket = IO.socket("http://ridewithme.in:49154/socket");
    } catch (URISyntaxException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }


    send.setOnClickListener(this);
}

@Override
public void onClick(View v) {
    // TODO Auto-generated method stub
    if(v.getId() == R.id.button1) {

        text = message.getText().toString();
        socket.connect();
        socket.send(text);
        socket.disconnect();
    }
}

but i keep on getting XHR polling error (logs from the Socket.emit())

com.github.nkzawa.engineio.client.EngineIOException: xhr poll error
com.github.nkzawa.socketio.client.SocketIOException: Connection error

My server uses socket.io v1.0.X and it seems to be working fine from a browser. What is possibly going wrong here? Is it an acces origin problem?

You can't access to Internet from main thread. Try this:

new Thread(new Runnable() {

        @Override
        public void run() {
            text = message.getText().toString();
            socket.connect();
            socket.send(text);
            socket.disconnect();
        }
    }).start();
