Hello there guys,
I've been asking around on many forums asking for some help on an application I am trying to create, Let me first explain the functionally of the application I want to develop
Application :
This application will simply start a server and allow other android devices to connect to the device and play this application together, how I want this to work is, one user will use WiFi, I do apologize the title should not have WiFi hot spot, I just want to use WiFi to send data from one device to another.
Problems :
I have created a TCP/IP and a Multicast server with java, now looking at Android, Android of course runs java applications, but I don't know as I can't find information about it, if the same code to start a Multicast server will work on a mobile device. All I'm trying to do is, one user will set up a server socket to listen on where clients will connect, once they are connected a thread will be created, and constant data will be send back to the client, this was achieved quite quickly and simple using Java, but with Android I'm not sure if I can do the same code for pc to Android?
Here is the code I have so far, but I don't think this does much
wifi = (WifiManager) context.getSystemService(Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
I have looked at this http://marakana.com/forums/android/examples/40.html , it gives an example application, but it just sends data to itself, I want to know how I can setup a sock on a mobile device, which can be used to send and receive data via UDP protocol.
Any help would be great, I have had no help from anyone so far, and trying to find the right code example is like trying to find a pin in a haystack.
