Android :: Communication With PC Client?
Dec 10, 2009
I wrote a TCP socket client, an android application. On my emulator, it can successfully connect to a TCP sever running in my PC. But, when I deployed the the apk into my real phone, HTC g4, it dosen't work. An exception was raised said "java.net.SocketException: Network unreachable". The situation is, my handset was connected to my PC via USB, and no other connections were available. How can my android application connect to a PC server in the case. I don't know if we can use socket over usb connection. If yes, then why my application doesn't work. If no, then how?

I have a simple Java client application (Android app). I have to write a PHP server application which receives a request from the Java client application to write some data to a MySQL database or read some data from the MySQL database. It should respond with a status message (Write failed/success) or the data requested respectively. How would I get the Java client send a request and receive the reply from the PHP program and how would the PHP program receive the request and send the reply? I have googled about SOAP and REST architectures, but looking for a simple tutorial which will allow me to implement this simple program.

I'm currently in the research phase of my dissertation project.My project is a ticket booking system for a mobile device and I have chosen to target Android.I anticipate the need for a client/server architecture with a central server, and so am currently looking at how Android could communicate with such a server. The server would grant the client access to ticketing information, and the client would send information about ticket bookings to the server. I'm looking at Java EE for the server as Java is the language I'm most experienced with.I'm aware that Android comes with java.nio and java.net, as well as some org.apache packages, but am also looking for libraries/technologies that would be possible to use with Android.

I am trying to create a basic application that transmits GPS co ordinates of the device to a server. I am a complete noobie to socket programming.
As a stepping stone, I am following a tutorial, that creates the server, and the android client, it is designed to send an input from the user to the server and the server prints it on the console.
I'm becoming quite familar with how to set up the basics of the server and the client i.e. opening ports etc. The problem with this is, when hit send, the app crashes, when tested on the emulator, there is obviously an issue, but I can't see it.
When I test with device, and hit send, there is nothing printed to the console. I've attached both the client and server code below, the ip in the code below is for the emulator, I change this to my device ip with testing with it.
****SERVER****
[HIGH]
public class Additional_Server {
private static ServerSocket serverSocket;
private static Socket clientSocket;
private static InputStreamReader inputStreamReader;
private static BufferedReader bufferedReader;
private static String message;
[Code] ....
****CLIENT****
[HIGH]
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.app.Activity;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
[Code] .....

I am new to android programming and I am trying to set a connection with the android as a host. I have included the following imports:
import android.content.Context;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbDevice;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbManager;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbInterface;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbEndpoint;
import android.hardware.usb.UsbDeviceConnection;
import android.content.Context;
My problem is when I use this code :m_usbManager = (UsbManager) getSystemService(Context.USB_SERVICE);The eclipse editor shows a message saying that getSystemService(String) is undefined for the type CPrinterCommands(The class that I am using). Quick fix gives as a solution to create a method called getSystemService, however I can't find why I would need to create a method, all the examples I found, none of them had a method getSystemService.

I have a design problem with my Android components.
My activity is starting a service which is doing the work in the background. What I want is that the service informs the activity about state changes. How can I do this?
Normally I would add an observer but the activity has no reference to the service. Then I was thinking to take AIDL but this is more for inter-process communication.
How is it possible that the service informs the activity about state changes? Both are running in the same process. What can you recommend?

I have to develop a multiplayer game. The game will be supported between different platforms: 1) Two android clients. 2) Android client and a web application (something like facebook and android client for Texas- Holdem game).
I want to handle the communication between the platforms through a service.
I have asp.net (C#) background so I thought to implement the communication using WCF service but I am not sure this is the best choice?! Can you please tell me if my choice is good or should I choose other approach to implement the communication?

Just say I have two applications, each with one activity running on separate processes and I want to send a simple string between them. For the purposes of this example, let us say I have a button that sends whatever is typed into an EditText view to the other application where it is then displayed. Do I have to expose a remote interface via a service that co-resides between the two applications? Or can I do something simpler (is there a way to pass data between processes without defining your interface using AIDL)? Thanks for clearing this up for me, as I seem to be struggling with performing IPC at the moment. I'm pretty sure I have to use the Android IPC path and generate a remote interface using AIDL. I'm just not sure about the binding to service part.

I'm not *entirely* sure this one is supposed to go here, but anyway :)
Assuming I have two Android-powered devices, connected both to the same 3G network; does the current API of Android allow to have a Service running on one of them being contacted by an Application running on the other one over this 3G network or do I have to go for a more traditional network (e.g. WiFi AP, Bluetooth) ? If so, how do I do it ?
I saw the usual Socket part in the API but it is not clear to me whether this is the way to use the 3G. I also found another discussion related to communication between a laptop and a dev phone ("Sending data to android dev phone using 3G connection") so it seems to be possible.
Does anyone have some details about how to do this?

Android AMF client library Aftek has extensive experience in developing enterprise Flex applications. We have used BlazeDS extensively and we believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by AMF for Android applications as well. We have developed an Android AMF client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. The Android AMF client library supports remoting and secured remoting. This will allow all android applications to use the existing backend like .NET, Java, or PHP. The implementation is asynchronous in nature providing success and failure callbacks. This allows application to perform other tasks without blocking the application. We are currently performing some performance benchmarking and plan to release our library very soon. We would also be incorporating the messaging feature as well.
Android RTMP client library:Aftek has extensive experience in developing voip and audio/video and media applications. Media applications has a huge market and there would be quite a few people eager to develop the medial applications on Android. We believe that it would nice to provide all the benefits provided by RTMP for Android applications as well. We are developing an Android RTMP client library which would enable Android application developers use the same extensively. Our Android RTMP client library would support some add-ons that would help developers to deliver robust media solutions.

This is the scenario:
1 user has a main activity used for ii.
2 program needs to communicate with peers and keep connection and wait for messages
3 when a message comes it is shown in the main activity. so the question is should I use a service for the communication and what type of service? and also should I use Aspects in the service in order to keep my ii responsive and why?

I'm writing an application that consists of a background Service and one or several Activities acting as UI towards this. There will most likely be several different UIs for this service that will installed later on, like custom widgets or UIs. The question is how to solve this in the most efficient way. Is it better to only use Intents for communication between UI and Service (sending control commands with Intents from the UI and listening for Intents from the Service for state and data updates) or should I prefer using IPC communication (AIDL -> Java Stub, binding to the service etc.)?
Since the UI might be started long after the service is started, I would either need to use sticky intents to signal current state, or have a very frequent intent sent by the service if choose to go with the Intent-based design. Which one would be the preferred way in that case? I've read that sticky intents are much more resource consuming than normal intents, but are intents more consuming than IPC directly towards the service? Also, is really an AIDL the right way to allow third-party integration? Intents sounds better, since they are also asynchronous.

I am trying to create a tcp connection between the android emulator and remote PC. when i use the local host i can able to connect but remote host i could not able to connect. firewall disabled
for remote host i used the stcppipe for forwarding
Enter the Android tools path and run: adb forward tcp:40 tcp:40

I am trying to port a VoIP application based on SIP protocol to android.
I want to test this application first on two emulators running on two different PCs connected via LAN.
The problem is that, the communication is not happening when I run the application on two PCs. The same application works when I run it's non-android version on the same PC's.
I have identified the following problem. Let's say there are two computers C1(192.168.1.101), C2(192.168.1.102) connected in a LAN.
Emulator E1 is running on C1 Emulator E2 is running on C2
The application uses UDP protocol and the port being used is 5060 on both computers.
I have setup port forwarding on both the emulators. This is the command used for that in Android console. redir add udp:5060:5060
When we make a voip call from E1 with the URL 192.168.1.102:5060, then E2 responds to the call, but what ever E2 sends in response is not coming back to E1, and hence E1 is timing out.
When I observed the log files, actually E2 is sending the response to 10.0.2.2:5060, which is the C2's loop back address(127.0.0.1). How do we resolve this issue?
I have gone through the developer guide where they have mentioned about two emulators communicating on single PC. But looks like this concept doesn't work when we run emulators on two different computers.
I tried 'redir' command for port forwarding and added INTERNET permission, still it doesn't work.
My question is, Is it possible to implement this communication on two emulators? and if yes, How to do this?

I wanted to know if it is possible the communication between two Android Emulators started on two different machines networked.
For example
- Emulator A run on machine M1
- Emulator B run on machine M2
Can A and B exchange messages?
If yes, what ip address do I use?

I want to create a communication layer in android. The layer will communicate with server asynchronously. Multiple activities should be able to call methods of the communication layer. The layer will get messages from the server (it is not important for the scope of this question how) and should be able to tell activities to do some work based on these messages.
How should I implement this? Should I do this using android Service?
The main questions that I need to answer are: How can activities access the layer? How can the layer access activities? How can i make the communication layer live for the lifetime of the application?
