I have made a basic nodejs server that console logs when a user connects to the server. i am using socket io for this because i wanna make a chat application. On my android side im trying to create a connection to this local server but i never get the console log when i try and socket.connected stays on false. also never get a error or something when trying to connect
I have tried some examples from the internet. i got 1 example working deleted everything that i didnt use and it still works. i copy paste from that example to my own project and still didn't work. This is the example i used.
Here is the code of my project Node JS:
var app = require('express')();
var http = require('http').createServer(app);
var io = require('socket.io')(http);
app.get('/', function(req, res){
res.sendFile(__dirname + '/index.html');
});
io.on('connection', function(socket){
console.log('a user connected');
});
http.listen(3000, function(){
console.log('listening on *:3000');
});
Android:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
private Socket socket;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
ChatApplication app = (ChatApplication) getApplication();
socket = app.getSocket();
socket.connect();
}
}
ChatApplication class:
public class ChatApplication extends Application {
private Socket mSocket;
{
try {
mSocket = IO.socket("http://192.168.0.109:3000");
} catch (Exception e) {
Log.e("Error", e.toString());
}
}
public Socket getSocket() {
return mSocket;
}
}
