Android IRC Connection

I'm developing an app, and am a newbie in terms of development on android. I want to write a script that will automatically connect to an IRC Server, Channel, Port and then when you say something in the text box it will send it to IRC server.

Any ideas on how to go about this? I did some google searches, didn't show up anything very conclusive.

IRC Connection structure:

CONNECT -> IP:PORT

CONNECT -> NICKSERV IDENITFY [username] [password]

CONNECT -> JOIN CHANNEL #bob

Once identified they can join channel and talk.

Thanks for your time.
