WebSocket library for Android, iOS and Flash [closed]

Answer 1

For Android native apps, there is Autobahn WebSockets for Android

https://github.com/oberstet/AutobahnAndroid

It supports the final RFC6455, integrates well with UI and service apps, provides RPC and PubSub over WebSockets, and more. Check out the project README on GitHub.

Answer 2

I realize that it's bad form to respond to such an old thread, but this post keeps showing up in my searches. After research (but without implementing yet), Autobahn seems like the best option for the Android platform by far. Many of the other options use their test suite, a newer draft is supported (protocol 13, draft 14), and I found the project tutorials very helpful.

Answer 3

jWebSocket seem to have Android support.

Answer 4

This is an old thread, but I should point out for iOS, Unitt and other existing iOS WebSocket clients don't support the latest standard.

We just released a WebSocket client called SocketRocket. (disclaimer: I'm the author)

It supports the latest standard, RFC 6455, has no external dependencies, and works with iOS 4.x. It also should be really fast and compliant. Passes all of the Autobahn tests too

Answer 5

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.
