WebSocket in Android WebView
android, websocket, webview
Solution
Android webview doesn't accommodate WebSocket. So you need to implement with some WebSocket library.

Problem
today my problem is that I am developing an app that is using a WebSocket. On iOS everything is working out fine but on android the WebView doesn't support the WebSocket. Whats the fastest/most elegant way to solve this problem? [edit] As this post is viewed quite often I want to share some possible solutions. Solutions: - Java Websocket Client Implementation & JavaScript Interface - PHP Websocket Client Implementation & making a background (i.e. jQuery GET) request to the PHP-script (worked for me as I wanted to send only one line of message.)
