I have cloned android application from

https://github.com/Azure/azure-iot-sdk-java/tree/master/device/iot-device-samples/android-sample

and created a IOT Hub as directed Here

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/iot-hub/iot-hub-csharp-csharp-getstarted

and I got Connection string as mentioned there

My code is as bellow

String connString = "HostName=********.azure-devices.net;SharedAccessKeyName=iothubowner;SharedAccessKey=FYhyjH***************c1rQ22g=";

IotHubClientProtocol protocol = IotHubClientProtocol.MQTT;

    DeviceClient client = new DeviceClient(connString, protocol); // error at this line 

    try {
        client.open();
    }
    catch(IOException e1)
    {
        System.out.println("Exception while opening IoTHub connection3: " + e1.toString());
    }
    catch(Exception e2)
    {
        System.out.println("Exception while opening IoTHub connection4: " + e2.toString());
    }

but getting this error while running app, please correct me

This issue caused by using the wrong connection string.

Instead of using IoT Hub connection string you need use device connection string that has the following format:

HostName=[YOUR HUB NAME].azure-devices.net;DeviceId=[YOUR DEVICE ID];SharedAccessKey=rr****************************************4w=

Simply, you can get this connection string from Device Explorer.

https://stackoverflow.com/a/44688691/15057788 Confirm this solution it also work fine for me, you could see my details issue below.

**1.**First time once the applicatin lunch, in the logcat shown me to "com.iothub.azure.microsoft.com.androidsample E/ion: ioctl c0044901 failed with code -1: Invalid argument"

**2.**Second time once click starting to connect the IoThub from the application on the application display shown me to "Exception while opening IoTHub connection:java.lang.lllegalArgumentException:IoT Hub hostName cannot be null"

Hopefully, my details issue it's gonna be an benefit for anyone, and "Rita Han - MSFT" thank you so much.
