Can I use a Unix domain socket on Android (both server and client on the same Android device, for IPC)? Or, must I use LocalSocket?

LocalSocket and LocalServerSocket uses Unix domain sockets internally.

Creates a (non-server) socket in the UNIX-domain namespace.

Non-standard class for creating an inbound UNIX-domain socket in the Linux abstract namespace.
