This is the Socket.IO v1.x Client Library for Java, which is simply ported from the JavaScript client.
See also:
The latest artifact is available on Maven Central. You'll also need dependencies to install.
WARNING: The package name was changed to "io.socket" on v0.6.1 or later. Please make sure to update your dependency settings.
Add the following dependency to your pom.xml
.
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.socket</groupId>
<artifactId>socket.io-client</artifactId>
<version>0.8.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
Add it as a gradle dependency for Android Studio, in build.gradle
:
compile ('io.socket:socket.io-client:0.8.3') {
// excluding org.json which is provided by Android
exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
}
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 supply query parameters with the query
option. NB: if you don't want to reuse a cached socket instance when the query parameter changes, you should use the forceNew
option, the use case might be if your app allows for a user to logout, and a new user to login again:
IO.Options opts = new IO.Options();
opts.forceNew = true;
opts.query = "auth_token=" + authToken;
Socket 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) {}
});
And vice versa:
// ack from client to server
socket.on("foo", new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
Ack ack = (Ack) args[args.length - 1];
ack.call();
}
});
SSL (HTTPS, WSS) settings:
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.hostnameVerifier(myHostnameVerifier)
.sslSocketFactory(mySSLContext.getSocketFactory(), myX509TrustManager)
.build();
// default settings for all sockets
Socket.setDefaultOkHttpWebSocketFactory(okHttpClient);
Socket.setDefaultOkHttpCallFactory(okHttpClient);
// set as an option
opts = new IO.Options();
opts.callFactory = okHttpClient;
opts.webSocketFactory = okHttpClient;
socket = IO.socket("https://localhost", opts);
See the Javadoc for more details.

You can access transports and their HTTP headers as follows.
// Called upon transport creation.
socket.io().on(Manager.EVENT_TRANSPORT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
Transport transport = (Transport)args[0];
transport.on(Transport.EVENT_REQUEST_HEADERS, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, List<String>> headers = (Map<String, List<String>>)args[0];
// modify request headers
headers.put("Cookie", Arrays.asList("foo=1;"));
}
});
transport.on(Transport.EVENT_RESPONSE_HEADERS, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, List<String>> headers = (Map<String, List<String>>)args[0];
// access response headers
String cookie = headers.get("Set-Cookie").get(0);
}
});
}
});
This library supports all of the features the JS client does, including events, options and upgrading transport. Android is fully supported.
