How Can I Access an SSL Connection Through Android?

I started following a tutorial that wasn't cased around Android and got this:

    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", "truststore");
    System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword", "password");

    SSLSocketFactory ssf = (SSLSocketFactory) SSLSocketFactory.getDefault();
    try {
        Socket s = ssf.createSocket("192.168.2.11", 6543);
        PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(s.getOutputStream());
        while (true){
            out.println("SSL TEST");
            Log.d("DATA", "DATA SENT");
        }



    } catch (UnknownHostException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

I guess this boils down to a few questions:

1. I do not have my own trust store created, but searching through tutorials and things online, I am not sure how to create one. Is there a way I can create or modify a trust store to have the certificates I need in it? (I am using a self-signed certificate if that makes any difference)

2. How do I make things with the SSL handshake run smoothly? Right now, the error I am getting is:

   javax.net.ssl.SSLHandshakeException: java.security.cert.CertPathValidatorException: Trust anchor for certification path not found.
   

   Honestly, I don't really understand what that means.

3. What settings or files do I need to modify on my Android device to make sure this connection can happen?
