send and receive stream in android

[nkzawa]

socket.io-stream has no client for Java/Android.

If you just want to send/receive small images, do that as byte array:

// sending
byte[] img = data.toByteArray();
socket.emit("img", img);

// receiving
socket.on("img", new Emitter.Listener() {
  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {
    byte[] img = (byte[])args[0];
  }
});

But be aware of that all binary data would be buffered to memory, so you can't handle big data.

Can i send any object? Lets say, if i want to pass any file then i just need to pass file object same as we are passing FileBody in MultiPartEntity in android.

File fileObj = new File(path);
socket.emit("file", fileObj);

socket.on("file", new Emitter.Listener() {
  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {
    File recFile = (File) args[0];
  }
});

First of all is it possible?

Its a late comment but its still open!.
Get byte[] from the File object and try sending it over the socket?

@bradley101 is it possible to divide the large file in many part before sending one by one ?

[bradley101]

@maelfosso Yes! Specifically for that purpose I made a java library for that
Differentiate Comment for any help in that 👍

Add this to your gradle script (any Java project including Android)
compile 'com.bradley101.differentiate:differentiate:1.4'
