Use the native Socket.io SDK's with Axway Titanium.

Socket.io client for Titanium

Socket.IO module for Titanium using native Android and iOS clients.

Getting started

Install the module to you project or globally by copying it into the modules folder. After that enable it in your tiapp.xml.

<modules>
    <module platform="android">ti.socketio</module>
    <module platform="ios">ti.socketio</module>
</module>

Usage

This module aims to be as compatible with the web client as possible. Please refer to the Client API for a full API documentation of all supported methods.

const io = require('ti.socketio');
const socket = io.connect('http://localhost:8080');
socket.on('connect', function() {
    Ti.API.debug('socket connected');

    socket.emit('hello', 'world');
});

Currently supported methods are:

• io([url][, options]) (exposed as connect)
• socket.open()
• socket.connect()
• socket.emit(eventName[, ...args][, ack])
• socket.on(eventName, callback) (Note: Using acknowledgement callbacks not supported yet)
• socket.off([eventName], [fn])
• socket.close()
• socket.disconnect()

You can pass the option keys from both JS and native when creating a new socket. But only options that are actually supported on the native side will be converted to the matching configuration option. For example the JS query option will be converted to the connectionParams option in the native iOS framework.

Based on the socket.io-client-java on Android and socket.io-client.swift on iOS.
