i tried to make an application that send data from android to computer (java to vb.net). The data sending is working in eclipse java project, but not in android project .
But i have a problem. no incoming data to visual basic in my computer.
VB Code :
Imports System.Net.Sockets
Imports System.Threading
Imports System.IO
Public Class Form1
Dim Listener As New TcpListener(65535)
Dim Client As New TcpClient
Dim Message As String = ""
Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Me.Load
Dim ListThread As New Thread(New ThreadStart(AddressOf Listening))
ListThread.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub Listening()
Listener.Start()
End Sub
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
Client = New TcpClient("192.168.100.3", 65535)
Dim Writer As New StreamWriter(Client.GetStream())
Writer.Write(TextBox2.Text)
Writer.Flush()
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Tick(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Timer1.Tick
If Listener.Pending = True Then
Message = ""
Client = Listener.AcceptTcpClient()
Dim Reader As New StreamReader(Client.GetStream())
While Reader.Peek > -1
Message = Message + Convert.ToChar(Reader.Read()).ToString
End While
MsgBox(Message, MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub Form1_FormClosing(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.Windows.Forms.FormClosingEventArgs) Handles Me.FormClosing
Listener.Stop()
End Sub
End Class

It might help you even though I see no obvious error in your code.
Is the device on the same WiFi network as your computer? It won't work via USB for instance.

I want to send data via a socket on a button click while I am connected to the server. I tried to call the setOnClickListener inside my ConnectTask class and also in my TcpClient class, but it shows me an error. While I create it inside ConnectTask, it does not show me an error but it did not work. How can I do it? Below are my classes.
Here is my main class:
import android.os.AsyncTask;
import android.support.v7.app.AppCompatActivity;
import android.os.Bundle;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;
import android.widget.Button;
import android.util.Log;
import android.widget.EditText;
import org.json.JSONObject;
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btn;
EditText edt;
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
edt=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
ConnectTask connectTask=new ConnectTask();
connectTask.execute("testing");
}
public class ConnectTask extends AsyncTask<String, String, TcpClient> {
#Override
protected TcpClient doInBackground(String... message) {
Log.d("TCP Client", "checking");
TcpClient mTcpClient;
//we create a TCPClient object
mTcpClient = new TcpClient(new TcpClient.OnMessageReceived() {
#Override
//here the messageReceived method is implemented
public void messageReceived(String message) {
//this method calls the onProgressUpdate
publishProgress(message);
}
});
mTcpClient.run();
return null;
}
#Override
protected void onProgressUpdate(String... values) {
super.onProgressUpdate(values);
//response received from server
Log.d("test", "response " + values[0]);
//process server response here....
}
}
}
And here is my TcpClient class:
import android.app.Activity;
import android.content.Context;
import android.os.Looper;
import android.os.Message;
import android.util.Log;
import android.view.View;

mMessageListener = listener;

public void sendMessage(final String message) {
Runnable runnable = new Runnable() {
#Override

Log.d(TAG, "Sending: " + message);
mBufferOut.println(message);

thread.start();
}

public void run () {
mRun = true;
try {
//here you must put your computer's IP address.
//InetAddress serverAddr = InetAddress.getByName(SERVER_IP);
Log.d("TCP Client", "C: Connecting...");
//create a socket to make the connection with the server
Socket socket = new Socket(SERVER_IP, SERVER_PORT);
if(socket.isConnected()){
Log.d("hati","connected");
}

sendMessage("testing");
//receives the message which the server sends back

//in this while the client listens for the messages sent by the server
while (mRun) {
mServerMessage = mBufferIn.readLine();
if (mServerMessage != null && mMessageListener != null)
{
//call the method messageReceived from MyActivity class
mMessageListener.messageReceived(mServerMessage);
}
}
Log.d("RESPONSE FROM SERVER", "S: Received Message: '" + mServerMessage + "'");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "S: Error", e);
} finally {
//the socket must be closed. It is not possible to reconnect to this socket
// after it is closed, which means a new socket instance has to be created.
socket.close();
}
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("TCP", "C: Error", e);
}
}
//Declare the interface. The method messageReceived(String message) must be implemented in the Activity
//class at on AsyncTask doInBackground
public interface OnMessageReceived {
public void messageReceived(String message);
}
}
Move TcpClient mTcpClient to MainActivity class:
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
Button btn;
EditText edt;
TcpClient mTcpClient;
Remove TcpClient mTcpClient; from protected TcpClient doInBackground
protected TcpClient doInBackground(String... message) {
Log.d("TCP Client", "checking");
// remove this line TcpClient mTcpClient
add action listener to your button and call tcpClientto send message
#Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
btn=(Button)findViewById(R.id.button);
button.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {
#Override
public void onClick(View v) {
mTcpClient.senMessage("get Text from text box");
}
});
edt=(EditText)findViewById(R.id.editText);
ConnectTask connectTask=new ConnectTask();
connectTask.execute("testing");
}
public class TcpClient extends MainActivity{
Pretty bad to not have Activity in the name of a class that extends an activity. To make your code more readable you should change that to
public class TcpClientActivity extends MainActivity{
You would then get
mTcpClient = new TcpClientActivity(new TcpClientActivity.OnMessageReceived() {
upon which every body would stand up and cry: You are not allowed to instantiate an activity with the new operator.
I'm creating an simple app, in which I want to send message over local wifi connection using TCP. So I'm creating hotspot on one device and connect it from other device.
Now, on hosting device, I'm running following server application and on connecting device I'm running client application.
But nothing happens when I press send button on client device. My code for both server and client is as following:

I'm following this tutorial. As explained there, It is working fine in android emulators. But doesn't work on actual devices.
So I thought the IP address should be given different on different hotspots. So I've written a method in client code to get server hotspot's IP address and than connect to it. But still nothing happens on pressing send button.
So, What am I missing here? Is my method correct? Is there any mistakes in port numbers?
In the tutorial, author is doing something called port forwarding. What about port forwarding for actual devices?
I've searched everywhere for this on Internet but can't find any exact solution or any tutorial explaining this type of application. Please help me!
EDIT:
when I run this in real devices, It is giving NllPointerException in clients code, on following line:
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(socket.getOutputStream())), true);
You don't need to forward anything on device, just make sure your device is on the same network & use the port you have hard-coded or defined in the settings.
We forward port in emulator because its running on your host machine & we are telling the host to forward traffic coming on that specific port to emulator, since in an actual device you don't need to do that so you just to have to make sure your device is on the same network & correct port is being called.
I want to create a chatroom that in it 3 (or more device ) connect to a server with Tcp protocol on hotspot and server and clients cant talk to each other
this is my code that in
when app start it try to connected to server (if existed) if it don't find server then it run server socket an wait for client but only one client can connect to server and send and receive message
i know that i have to use multi-thread but i can't handle this please help me:(

Your code is a total mess.
Commonly you need to make something like this
class ClientClass implements Runnable //For managing clients
{
Socket socket;
public ClientClass(Socket s)
{
socket = s;
}
void run()
{
//Get InputStreams
//Manage client
}
}
ServerClass
while(true)
{
new Thread(new ClientClass(server.accept()));//Maybe you want to store it for future comunication
}
Hope this helps.
Trying to do android socket programming based on this tutorial
http://examples.javacodegeeks.com/android/core/socket-core/android-socket-example/
I have my firewall turned off and anti virus disabled. If I make my server address to 127.0.0.1 I get the error in the title. If I make it my local IP address,it just sits at socket going to be created.I have tried it without and with port forwarding and setting it to the same port.

So I figured it out. One of the mistakes I did was replacing the SERVER_IP with my local ip where as I should have left it at 10.0.2.2 since its a special loopback address android emulators.
10.0.2.2 Special alias to your host loopback interface (i.e., 127.0.0.1 on your development machine)
You also have to run the server first,set the port redirection and then run the client.
Look up Emulator networking section at http://developer.android.com/tools/devices/emulator.html
I'm trying to use a NIO server to read/write to a client for TCP connections. I've made a successful connection, and my initial message is sent to the server and correctly processed. It says that the server is sending a message back, but I'm not receiving any input on the client side. Also, after the server sends a message back, the application crashes saying that it was trying to read a null pointer (Line 127 server code).
It's important to note that I'm new to this concept and I don't really understand selectors. I've looked at tutorials, but contradictary messages have led me to be even more confused on the issue. If anyone has any good tutorials on this topic I'd be greatly appreciative.
Here's my code.
