Avare opening the Wifi UDP port exclusively on a Stratux Box

[swede...@gmail.com]

This message is mainly geared towards the developers of Avare.

I have noticed that when connecting to a Stratux box via Wifi Avare opens the UDP Socket in a way that does NOT let other applications attach to the UDP Stream on that same device.

I am developing an App and am also interested in the data transmitted by the Stratux box.

I dunno, I run multiple instances of Avare and other programs all of the time, all attached to the same Stratux.  Can you give details of the socket code in question, or point to the code?

I think you're misunderstanding, yes you can have multiple tablets attaching to the same Stratux, no problem as the Stratux box broadcasts this data (UDP).  My issue is that when Avare is running and getting data from the Stratux, and another app ON THAT SAME TABLET tries to open the Port it fails, it says address already in use.

I believe, I could be wrong but the way I open the Socket is:

...

if (mSocket == null) {
mSocket = new DatagramSocket(null);
mSocket.setReuseAddress(true);
mSocket.setBroadcast(true);
mSocket.setSoTimeout(10000);
mSocket.bind(new InetSocketAddress(mPort));
}

So with this code I can have multiple readers on the tablet if I do this:

mSocket = new DatagramSocket(mPort);

Then the code cannot reuse the UDP Socket.

Makes Sense??

If you are confident with your proposed changes on how to open the socket on the tablet you can submit the change on github.com  (https://github.com/apps4av/avare) for inclusion into a future release.

OK I will do that.
