Android Client Connected with Socket Server



I hope this will help you for how to start communication between Socket Server (Desktop Chat Server Application) and Mobile Application (Android Socket Client).
This application simply look like as chat application. You can add your idea and innovation to make very useful application.

Follow below steps to run application:
  1. Use custom port and define same port in both application (i.e. Port No: 5657 )
  2. Define computer IP Address in Android Client Application. (i.e. 192.168.1.x). If you want to run this application in real device, then you can't connect with Desktop Socket Server. For that you need to upload runnable jar file in specific server and then you can use that server IP Address.
  3. First start Socket Server Application using Start button.
  4. Now you can start Android application.
  5. Just Enjoy it !!!
Here I give you screen shot for communication between both application.

    Hi Prashant,

    Thank you for this! I am using the Android emulator and I got this to work. However, the code for the SocketServer comes in a .jar executable -- I cannot seem to find the source code. Would you mind sharing?

    Thanks

      Hi Krupal,

      Thanks for you interest on my blog.
      In this example I used Java technology on both side server as well as client. I make server as Swing Java Program and Android app as Client.
      First you need to start the server using click on START button. (See above Swing program Image.) After that you can run your android app to established the connection between server and your app.

      Yes its possible and you can manage through JSP + Servlet (Web Application) to start and stop your server.
      Finally, Upload your application into Apache Tomcat server and than test it.

      Hi Harshitha,

      Yes you can able to run in live server. But for that you need to create runnable jar file and upload into your server. Than use that server's IP in your Android Client Application. (I already given hint on 2nd point on same blog post).

      Thanks for your interest.

      It would be better to use Push Notification, its having many features, You can go with GCM(FCM) for notification, just calling API end point from your Desktop application and all connected device with FCM will get notified by your applied logic.

Disable Force Stop in Android

I have worked since 1 week on how to disable the FORCE STOP button in Manage Application in Android. And I was able to disable the Force Stop and Uninstall button in Manage Application. For that you need to make your application as Device Administrator. Android has add this kind of feature from Android 2.2 version. This feature is for Security reason with different option. Set Minimum Password Strength, Data Wipe, Force Lock,  Reset Password and so on. We set our application as Device Administrator to change above features. For more info and advance example you can check your android-sdk path (>= android-8). \samples\android-[>=8]\ApiDemos\src\com\example\android\apis\app\DeviceAdminSample.java See the below screen shots which shows how to activate the application and disable force stop button.
