ASP.NET SignalR for Java and Android

ASP.NET SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET developers that makes it incredibly simple to add real-time web functionality to your applications. What is "real-time web" functionality? It's the ability to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as it happens, in real-time.

What can it be used for?

Pushing data from the server to the client (not just browser clients) has always been a tough problem. SignalR makes it dead easy and handles all the heavy lifting for you.

This library can be used from both regular Java or Android applications.

The signalr-client-sdk-android.aar will be generated inside the /signalr-client-sdk-android/build/outputs/aar folder

Running the tests:

Run the signalr-client-tests project as a JUnit test.

Using the library in a Java application:

Add the signalr-client-sdk.jar and gson library gradle dependencyto the project.

Using the library in an Android application:

Add the signalr-client-sdk.jar, signalr-client-sdk-android.jar gson library as a gradle dependency to the project.

In the code, before using the library, initialize the platform to use android-specific libraries and compatibility with older Android versions: - Platform.loadPlatformComponent(new AndroidPlatformComponent());
