Build Status

This is the Socket.IO v1.x Client Library for Java, which is simply ported from the JavaScript client.

Installation

The latest artifact is available on Maven Central. To install manually, please refer dependencies to pom.xml.

Maven

Add the following dependency to your pom.xml.

<dependencies>
  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.github.nkzawa</groupId>
    <artifactId>socket.io-client</artifactId>
    <version>0.4.1</version>
  </dependency>
</dependencies>

Gradle

Add it as a gradle dependency for Android Studio, in build.gradle:

compile 'com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.4.1'

Usage

Socket.IO-client.java has almost the same api and features with the original JS client. You use IO#socket to initialize Socket:

socket = IO.socket("http://localhost");
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {

  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {
    socket.emit("foo", "hi");
    socket.disconnect();
  }

}).on("event", new Emitter.Listener() {

  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {}

}).on(Socket.EVENT_DISCONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {

  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {}

});
socket.connect();

This Library uses org.json to parse and compose JSON strings:

// Sending an object
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("hello", "server");
obj.put("binary", new byte[42]);
socket.emit("foo", obj);

// Receiving an object
socket.on("foo", new Emitter.Listener() {
  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {
    JSONObject obj = (JSONObject)args[0];
  }
});

Options are supplied as follows:

IO.Options opts = new IO.Options();
opts.forceNew = true;
opts.reconnection = false;

socket = IO.socket("http://localhost", opts);

You can get a callback with Ack when the server received a message:

socket.emit("foo", "woot", new Ack() {
  @Override
  public void call(Object... args) {}
});

Use custom SSL settings:

// default SSLContext for all sockets
IO.setDefaultSSLContext(mySSLContext);

// set as an option
opts = new IO.Options();
opts.sslContext = mySSLContext;
socket = IO.socket("https://localhost", opts);

See the Javadoc for more details.
