Using gdx-websocket to connect to a Socket.IO server

Thanks again.
I will check what you mentioned ☺

I think someone had a similar problem.

GWT does not support IO.Socket, as you've noticed. This library is a barebones web socket client implementation. To be honest, I haven't used Socket.IO myself, but if it adds anything on top of regular web sockets protocol, I'm pretty sure this library would be incompatible. Socket.IO should have a native JS client, so you can try to use that via GWT native calls. Here's an example of blending native JS and GWT-compiled Java.

Or you could build your web socket server with Java/Kotlin/any other JVM language. You could try sharing some common logic between your client and server if you decide to switch. I recommend looking into Vert.x.

Hi thanks for the reply.

So gdx-websocket is not for I want it? To connect to a server like the JavaScript or IO.Socket(Java) samples.

The server is not mine.

Thanks

gdx-websocket lets you connect with any web socket server, but I don't think it supports whatever protocol Socket.IO adds on top of that. Instead, I recommend using IO.Socket for desktop/mobile and native JS client on GWT/HTML.
