Java (Android) WebSocket Client Libraries
android, http, java, websocket
Solution
I just work on one of my first web socket app in android. So I do lot of R&D before I starting and at last I found these two libs are very simple and useful for my requirement.
1 ) AndroidAsync (For clients )
2 ) Java-WebSocket (https://github.com/TooTallNate/Java-WebSocket ) for Server
Both are very simple and easy to use.
Problem
There are some libraries to implement WebSocket usage in an unobtrusive fashion. Apparently, there are many libraries out, but what I really looking is a modern and small library which I can use on Android or Java in generall to implement my WebSocket usage from the client side. So far I have found: - AndroidAsync - Play Framework - JAX-RS 2.0 I am missing a bit the differences of the differnet libraries. JAX-RS 2.0 for instance seems to be a great foundation for a lot of implementations, but I also went with Square's Retrofit for my RESTful Client because it was just leaner and easy to integrate.
