I am trying to setup secure socket communication to a server. I have successfully tried the Socket class, but that is not a secure way of communication. From what I gather, SSLSocketFactory and SSLSocket is required for securing communication via sockets. How do i go about implementing these?
I used this code
SSLSocketFactory s = new SSLSocketFactory();
socket = s.createSocket(url, port);
but eclipse says i cannot instantiate SSLSocketFactory.

You need to call SSLSocketFactory.getDefault()
to get an SSLSocketFactory
instance.
Also, maybe this will be of use to you: Using client/server certificates for two way authentication SSL socket on Android
