POAndroid: continuous socket write
text
Body
copied!<p>I'm new to Java and Android programming but there's this project that required me to do so.</p> <p>The app sends bytes to a server that receives all information send to it and performs the equivalent commands. The client and server is in an exclusive link so I would not worry about security issues.</p> <pre><code>public class NetworkTask extends AsyncTask<Void, byte[], Boolean> { OutputStream dataOut; //Network Output Stream @Override protected void onPreExecute() { Log.i("AsyncTask", "onPreExecute"); } @Override protected Boolean doInBackground(Void... params) { boolean result = false; while (sendData) { //While Boolean sendData is true try { gsocket = new Socket(roubotIP, roubotPort); byte[] data = EncodingUtils.getAsciiBytes(outData); Log.i("Data: ", outData); dataOut = new DataOutputStream(gsocket.getOutputStream()); dataOut.write(data); } catch (UnknownHostException e) { Log.i("Socket: ","Unkown host"); e.printStackTrace(); result = true; } catch (IOException e) { e.printStackTrace(); result = true; } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); result = true; } } try { dataOut.close(); } catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); } return result; } } </code></pre> <p>With the code above I was able to establish connection to the server but the data is only sent/written to the socket every 1-2 seconds.</p> <p>Is there a way to perform this continuously? or with minimal delay (around 0.5 seconds or less?)</p> <p>Battery life is not an issue for me and I accept that a socket active continuously has its cons.</p> <p>Thanks.</p>
