"IOException: Try again" while using LocalServerSocket

Question

Does anybody have more helpful information on the Exception "Try again"?

I'm sending Bitmaps between apps using LocalServerSocket and LocalSocket:

Output:

socket = new LocalSocket();
socket.connect(new LocalSocketAddress(SOCKET_NAME));
fos = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
...

public void onEvent() {
    fos.writeInt(width);
    fos.writeInt(height);
    fos.writeInt(newBuffer.length);
    fos.write(newBuffer);
}

Input:

server = new LocalServerSocket(SOCKET_NAME);
socket = server.accept(); 
socket.setSoTimeout(60);

while(true) {

    int width = fis.readInt(); // IO Exception being thrown here
    int height = fis.readInt(); 
    int length = fis.readInt();
    byte[] bytes = new byte[length];
    fis.read(bytes);
}

[try/catch etc removed for clarity]

Answer 1

The exception you see is probably the java equivalent to the EAGAIN error. See for example this answer.

You should handle the exception and try the failed IO operation again.
