I am communicating between the Android car device and the iOS device through USB. USB is abstracted as TCP, and functions such as socket and address lookup should be used. This method is not implemented in the Android NDK, do I need to implement it myself?

I guess so. It doesn't seem to be a readily-available function on Android. I have found this:

Maybe you can add the code somehow.
