I am working on one android app. I want to connect my local PC to ANDROID device using Wi-Fi(Local).
just like this APP.
I am new to network programming.
Anyone help me to do this some architecture or example or code.
You could use the Server-Client architecture. Depending on what you want to do you could either set up a server in the phone and have a client on the computer that will connect to the phone. Or the other way around, server on the computer and let the phone connect to it.
Here is another thread that have some example code (there is a lot of other examples and tutorials):
Android - Server Socket
There's no way around this except by hard work. You are expected to read the documentation and work through the examples. There are heaps of tutorials on Programming on Android on the 'Net. Use them.

I recently used AirMyPC as a paid software for having a mirroring windows screen (laptop) to my real TV.
B'coz my TV already plugged with this Anycast (hardware below) device so this software work smoothly.
I wonder if i could make the same app using java programming.
I completely followed the java socket tutorial nicely until connecting two laptop for a chat purpose. And found out for making the similar mirroring feature is using the same concept as usual java socket. Because java socket is a communication between two port client & server,
So how about this anycast device?
Which port is opened once my laptop already connected to its device IP?
CMIIW. Is it possible to achieve this?
Use OpenTV Player SDK by Google. They have both an android and java version of the SDK. Honestly, I have not used it. But that is where I would start.
I’m not sure if this is the right place to ask this question as this is my first question, but I have the following scenario and I need advice and guidance. Or, if this is the wrong place to ask this question, where should I post it?
I want to create a Java Bluetooth proxy application that will sit in the middle of an Android app and a bluetooth IoT device. I want this Java application to see all the traffic that is being exchanged between the app and the IoT device. I have found similar applications called btproxy and btlejuice, but I want to implement it within Java and I want it to be really simple. I have looked into Bluecove but I'm not having much luck. I’m guessing I will need 2 different machines or VM’s so I can use 2 different bluetooth adapters.
Basically, when you connect the Android app to the computer/VM, the data will be logged and it will be sent to the IoT device. The IoT device will then process it, and send its data back to the Android app via the computer/VM. I’m guessing this relies heavily on the UUID of the app and the device?
Is this possible to achieve, if so, have I got the right topology for this scenario and what would be the best Java API to use and is there any code that will help?
My question isn't necessarily on how to do this - rather I'd really like to know where to start. I've made a program in Java that keeps track of a dart game. I have a core DartGame class and classes for the different games that inherit it. From there it keeps track of players, who's turn it is, the current score, etc. It works great now what I want to do is make it into an Android app. I have a server program on my computer that would link the running apps. I don't want a global server that can be accessed anywhere because I don't want to spend the money on a VPN server, so the server program would just run on my PC. An example of a similar type of server would be like the one used for AndroMouse which allows you to control the cursor on a PC with an Android device.
What is the best way to make the connection from the device to the PC? I'm not sure if it uses a MAC address or the WIFI from my router, or even Bluetooth is an option. I'm not really familiar with Android but I assume there would be some sort of Server/ServerSocket connection, but that requires an IP address and I'm not sure which one to use. Is it as simple as using the local IP from my router? Like I said I'll learn how to do it on my own, I'd just like to know what I need to learn before I spend a bunch of money on Android books. Thanks in advance.
If your pc and your device are in the same LAN, just create socket to communicate through wifi connection. Otherwise, you should choose bluetooth I think. I think the
If they are not in the same LAN, then it is a little bit difficult. MAC address is meaningless unless in LAN.
AndroMouse also uses bluetooth connection.
I want to build an application where an android phone would control a desktop application.
I only need to send coordinates from the phone to the desktop when user's finger is on the phone screen.
But I am kinda confused on the networking side if i should use bluetooth, usb, or wifi (intranet).
I did some research on bluetooth, doing bluetooth socket programming on an android phone shouldn't be a problem, but on the desktop side there are only a few free SDK/library. any suggestion on what to use?
If I were to use USB/cable, What API on the android side I need to use?
I am actually more familiar with general socket programming (wifi), but I think it's going to be slow (correct me if Im wrong) so this would be my last option.
PS: I am using Java for the desktop application too
any suggestions on what method to use? or even maybe I should use .net on the desktop side?
Thanks
You might find the open source RemoteDroid app to be useful in creating your app. It may even do everything that you want.
The source code is here. You may need an svn client like TortoiseSVN in order to download it.
Wifi is probably the most supportable.
Bluetooth requires hardware and drivers on the PC side
USB would ordinarily seem like the most sensible if the wire isn't a problem, but the catch is that it requires that the user enable "USB debugging" on the phone, and have either the android SDK or equivalent functionality to the adb forward command installed, plus a compatible USB driver for the phone. If all that were the case, you'd just forward a port from the PC to the phone and have a pc program connect to that port on the loopback interface which will be forwarded to a service running on the phone.
It's possible you could do something piggybacked on the USB tethering capability of more recent releases to get you a network-over-usb that you could use to connect programs on the PC and phone, but you'd need modified PC drivers so that you don't actually push the PC's internet traffic through the phone (unless you mean to tether as well).
I have an application that was written in Java and runs on the users machine. I now want to build an application on the iPhone which will communicate with my java app.
Can somebody point me in the right direction on how I can send and receive TCP packets with the iPhone, I want to of course be able to do that using wifi and 3G.
Thanks,
You use the NSStream classes. I've found it pretty easy to use.
See the SimpleNetworkStreams for an example.
One problem I found is that the iphone sdk does not include the NSStream method getStreamsToHost:port:inputStream:outputStream: which is what Mac OS examples use to open a NStream connection but there are lots of places that show you how to create your own like here.
