Question

“I have a simple client running and it connects to my server; however, after connecting i cant receive back any data. I’m guessing something needs to be put into a while loop so the thread doesnt finish but i dont know what to put in it. Can someone help me out or give me a clue please?

  Thread background=new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {

                 try {
                      socket = new Socket("255.255.255.255", 9999);
                      dataOutputStream = new DataOutputStream(socket.getOutputStream());
                      dataInputStream = new DataInputStream(socket.getInputStream());
                      dataOutputStream.writeUTF("Send this text to the server");
                      Log.i("Appname", dataInputStream.readUTF());

                     } catch (someexceptionhere) {

                     }

            } 
   });

I scrapped the way I was receiving and i’m using:

socket.getInputStream().read(incomingdata);

Seems to work now thx
