can someone please provide an example of WebSocket implementation in Android, iOS(iPhone/iPad) and Flash (not flex!).
I found some libraries but none of that work :). My browser WebSocket implementation is working great using Socket.IO, now I would like to dig also into Android, iPhone and Flash.
I tried to implement a Android webview pointing to a website where sockets are implemented, but it doesn’t work. I would be great to have some native library for that.
Thx for your help!
iOS 4.2 and above have native WebSockets support.
For Android devices with Flash support (or any browser with Flash) you can use web-socket-js. Socket.IO actually includes web-socket-js as one of the transports that can be enabled.
See caniuse.com for an up-to-date list of browsers and mobile devices with native WebSockets support.
Update:
For native iOS applications (Objective-C) check out UnittWebSocketClient. One caveat: I looked in the code and it uses the HyBi-07 version of the protocol which is more recent than the Hixie-76 version currently supported by most browsers. However, if the server you are connecting to supports HyBi-07 or later it shouldn’t be a problem.
