Java, Android Client to EventBus using TCP

[Mumuney Abdlquadri]

Hi all,

I wrote a Java Client to the EventBus using the new https://github.com/vert-x3/vertx-tcp-eventbus-bridge.

The code is here https://github.com/abdlquadri/vertx-eventbus-java. It is really a port of the JS client using Netty. It has same unit tests as in original. Comments and pull requests are highly welcome. This is really my first production interaction with direct Netty API so review is needed.

I wrote an Android Client to prove it works on Android. https://github.com/abdlquadri/VertxEventBusChat . Tested on Android 4.4.2 only.

To test the app you need to edit this line https://github.com/abdlquadri/VertxEventBusChat/blob/master/app/src/main/java/abdlquadri/ng/vertxeventbus/MainActivity.java#L100

The Server code is here https://github.com/abdlquadri/vertx-tcp-bridged-chat-server. 

Normal ./gradlew shadowJar to build. Then 'java -jar build/libs/vertx-tcp-bridged-chat-server-3.2.0-fat.jar' to run.

Please let me know if you run into any issues.

I will make some clean up and updates as time permits, but works.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I tested the app on android 2.3.7. But got  Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: io.netty.channel.nio.NioEventLoopGroup

I rolled back netty to 4.0.33.Final from 5.0.0.Alpha2. I don't know why this happens.

It is really interesting that Netty works fine on android 2.3. Great work! But 4.0.33.Final for now.

Regards.

Hi,

It tried to make it works with android 4 with no success... the websocket is losing connection to server when it's sending message (maybe interrupted by the server). I created a server with openshift and Vert. x 3.

Do you think it is possible to make it work with newer android version?
Do you know a good alternative to create a simple chat app on android?

Thanks

Hi bilou,

Could you create an issue against the project. With details of how to reproduce.

Please include links to your git repos of android app and vertx server.

Also add full android OS version and environment.

ok, I will do that.
But just want to know if public static void connect(String host, int port, final ConnectHandler connectHandler)
is working with this kind of remote host (with shared ip) demo-fran38.rhcloud.com ? or do I have to use an IP adress?
