Is it possible to set up Android in ad-hoc peer-to-peer wifi mode? For example, I would like to have one phone broadcast a message, and have all peers in the network receive the broadcast, without having a server. I would like to use wifi since bluetooth range is more limited.

I am with a group of college students making a multiplayer game as a class project on the Android platform for the G1. Our primary goal is to allow multiple phones (or for the sake of initial testing, a phone and an emulator on a PC) to communicate with one another. Our game is turn based, and we've been looking into TCP/IP and VNC proxy servers to transfer data between the game clients on each phone, but none of them seem particularly simple to implement. We've been through many articles documenting how difficult peer-to-peer connections are on the Android platform. What would some viable network protocols to use for the sake of our project and how should we go about setting them up?
View 3 Replies View RelatedIs there anyone using git in such a fashion? I would like to distribute some multimedia content from a server to some Android remote devices. I would like them sending back a log file with device usage statistics (provided by an android app I will write). The server could be anything but I would prefer a linux box. I thought that since git handle and sych only differences between files, It would be a nice tool for this purpose and I would have content revision history as a bonus. I need some piece of advice on how the repositories architecture could be organized: does It have to be a star topology or something different? The remote end of the sistem don't need any interactivity, in other words the remote git repository could pull and push whatever It needs to, autonomously and automatically.
UPDATE: I've found here on SO the author of git internals (I'm downloading It right now), Scott Chacon talking about the architecture I would like to implement.
UPDATE 2: OK I read the chapter about "Non-SCM uses of Git" and here is what the author says about a Peer to Peer CDN:.....
i want to build a simple bluetooth chat program that can do a 2 way chat with 2 mobile devices. i know that i can use gamekit to develop such application for iphone and ipod touch. But i want to know is, is it possible for other smart phones (running my application) to discover and communicate with ipones and other devices as well? in simple: i want my application to run on iphone,symbian and android and to be able to discover and communicate with each other over bluetooth.
View 1 Replies View RelatedIs there a voice / messaging app that will work via a wifi connection WITHOUT the need for an Internet connection? For example, two people with phones connected to the same router over wifi, but NO ACCESS to the Internet. I'm assuming apps like Skype would require both devices to be able to communicate with the Skype server to initiate the call, but might allow peer-to-peer afterwards.
I am not interested in making calls or texts to people outside of the wifi network. Does such an app exist?
I have a Motorola Droid X with PDAnet (2.42 installed on my computer). I am able to browse the internet and play some online games just fine, but if I open my Ares P2P program (on my computer), I am unable to stay connected to my phone. PDAnet Desktop just disconnects without any error messages. Does PDAnet block this type of software, or do I have something misconfigured? Or should I just use a different P2P program?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI am writing a proxy in Android. I want to know, how one may detect if the server or client has closed its socket? I am using pre-NIO sockets. It should be noted that, the YouTube App will connect with my Proxy server (I have installed proxydroid) and then data will pass between YouTube App and Youtube Server through my proxy.
I have used read() method for reading. When I am reading (with read() ) as a client (from the server) if I get -1, does it mean that the server has closed the socket?
In the same way, If I am reading (with read()) from the client and get -1, does it mean that the client has closed the socket?What is the best way to detect if a remote peer has closed the socket or not?If I use methods like isInputShutdown() or isOutputShutdown() ?My main goal is read into a byte array until the remote peer has closed the socket?
I need help finding the best method for networking in a multiplayer game. I want to connect to a phone and maintain the connection until the game is over, hosting the game on one of the phones. There are other threads, but none of them really explain how to connect or use the networking, only saying to use such-and-such library. Examples or links to good tutorials would be extremely helpful.

View 8 Replies View RelatedBeen doing some android networking lately. Having some trouble actually sending the data back and forth.
Java -> Server (runs on the desktop): its job is to constantly listen on a port and connect clients. Once a client connects, it creates a new JFrame with a graphics class.(Basically a giant canvas) There is a separate thread that is always listening to the client.
Android -> Client: An android device is the client. Its job is to connect to the server, with a given IP/Port. Once the connection has been established, it changes (setView) the view to a canvas. On the canvas there is a box that moves based on touch input.
Objective: The box moves on the android screen, but it doesn't move in the JFrame window.
I think the information is not being relayed. I have tried dataOutputStream. But for some reason there is a major Lag in sending the information. (Not waiting for serverSocket) Basically i want a real time updates. As the box moves on the android device, it should also move on the JFrame.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've been scouring the web looking for information on setting up a peer-to-peer connection between Android handsets and so far have drawn a blank. The only thing I can definitively seem to work out is that it was made a whole lot more difficult when XMPP was removed from 1.0. Apart from that, I find a couple of threads on an OpenIntents board about porting an XMPP implementation to Android that were last posted nearly 2 years ago. Has anybody solved this problem effectively? What's the best way of doing it (from a games point of view)?
View 7 Replies View RelatedAccording to the emulator docs, you should be able to enable/disable networking with the F8 key. I doesn't work for me and I'm trying to determine why.
I'm developing on OSX Leopard. I've also tried in a virtual Windows instance (Windows 2008 server running in Parallels). No luck in either case.
I've tried the obvious stuff like fn + F8, etc.
Should there be any sort of visual cue that networking has gone online or offline when F8 is pressed?
I've been working on a game for a while now that relies heavily on UDP connections. Its been running great, but since releasing in the market, we've been flooded by complaints from Hero users that it doesn't run what-so-ever. We haven't received this complaint from anyone other than Hero users (seems 100% isolated to the device), and I haven't been able to reproduce using an HTC ROM on my personal G1 (thought it might be related to the OS), but I'm starting to suspect it's a hardware issue...
Does anyone on the list have access to a Hero, and adb that I could ship an APK with a bit of extra logging to see exactly whats going wrong?
looking over the online guide for the emulator and after some googling i still have some questions on this - the guide focuses on emulator instances running on the same machine. However, I was trying to see how that maps for emulator running in a distributed fashion. If a node A (with IP address 129.10.52.x) in LAN A is running Emulator A (which will have the default IP address of 10.0.2.15:portA) wants to communicate with a emulator B (which will also have the default IP address of 10.0.2.15:portB) running on node B (with IP address 129.10.53.x) in LAN B how is the port forwarding setup in this case? The same way as if both emulator were running on the same machine? And why when I print the IP address of the emulator running on any of the nodes what's displayed is the loopback address 127.0.0.1 and NOT 10.0.2.15 which is the IP address that each emulator is assigned?

View 2 Replies View RelatedWell the script should be working, it is 'ettin.sh' now. To get VNC to work on separate device just change 'eth0' to 'wlan0' or whatever other interface you know how to configure, like usb maybe, in the 'init.sh' script that resides in ~/ on the images you can download from [URL]....
Also on the different roms your storage might be different so just change that to what suites your environment,
After my first launch and exiting the VNC on my laptop (Ubuntu) My phones home button and a few other functions stopped working, a reboot remounts the root and system partitions and it goes back to normal essentially, I haven't noticed any adverse affects after the reboot.
I want to connect to backtrack over usb from Ubuntu on my laptop instead of from my phone. Is there a good way of doing this?
The thing is, I didn't chroot, I mounted the image, copied the contents of '/etc/*' and '/sbin/*' to the '*/etc' '*/sbin' dirs of the mounted image. and then mounted it's (the image's) contents to Androids rootfs '/' then I set up a little script to set up the environment and execute '/bin/bash -i init.sh' and again reset PATH to include /system/*.
Then in the init.sh script I want to set up a way to 'vnc' through' usb to backt4acks desktop. How would I do this?
I'm at a loss trying to get Astro to communicate with my Windows XP home computer.

I know that most of these applications have Java libraries or functionalities exposed as REST based WebServices.

I swear I've read about people setting theres to only do it every couple of hours or so to help with battery life but I can't find anything for this. The only thing I've managed to find is an option to set it to only sync over WiFi. Forgive me if this has already been asked but I couldn't find any answers to this dilemma.Oh and also, what exactly is considered "Background Data"? There's an option for enabling/disabling it and I wondered what the term encompasses.
