thanks to both of you, but it still doesn't work. >From the PC, I did:
$ adb forward tcp:4005 tcp:4005 so, this part works. Daniel, I already "stole" the functions from the "ecl-android" project (prior to post my question); without them I would have been lost... So, I'll have to play around a little... Of course I will post the solution here, if I get it to work.
