Example: Android bi-directional network socket using AsyncTask

问题


Most of the network socket examples I found for Android were one directional only. I needed a solution for a bi-directional data stream. I eventually learned of the AsyncTask. This example shows how to get data from a socket and send data back to it. Due to the blocking nature of a socket that is receiving data, that blocking needs to run in a thread other than the UI thread.

For the sake of example, this code connects to a webserver. Pressing the "Start AsyncTask" button will open the socket. Once the socket is open, the web server waits for a request. Pressing the "Send Message" button will send a request to the server. Any response from the server will be displayed in the TextView. In the case of http, a web server will disconnect from the client once all the data has been sent. For other TCP data streams, the connection will stay up until one side disconnects.

The SendDataToNetwork task runs in the main ui thread, meaning it will crash a Honeycomb or higher app due to NetworkOnMainThreadException Fatal exception. Here's what my SendDataToNetwork looks like to avoid this issue:

public boolean sendDataToNetwork(final byte[] cmd) { 
    if (_nsocket.isConnected()) {
        Log.i(TAG, "SendDataToNetwork: Writing received message to socket");
        new Thread(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                try {
                    _nos.write(cmd);
                } catch (Exception e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                    Log.i(TAG, "SendDataToNetwork: Message send failed. Caught an exception");
                }
            }
        }).start();

        return true;
    }

    Log.i(TAG, "SendDataToNetwork: Cannot send message. Socket is closed");
    return false;
}

Your SendDataToNetwork does not run on the same thread as doInBackground(). There is a possibility that SendDataToNetwork would start sending data before socket is ready.

To avoid all this just use SendDataToNetwork to save data and signal to background thread that data is ready to be sent.

Since there is possibility that user can press button multiple times, while the old data is still being sent, you should have synchronized Queue inside NetworkTask. Then:

  1. Background thread sets up the socket connection and then goes to sleep (via wait()).
  2. On button press, SendDataToNetwork adds data to queue and wakes up the background thread (via notify()).
  3. When background thread wakes up, it first checks the finish flag. If set, it closes connections and exits. If not it reads data from Queue, sends it to network and goes back to sleep.
  4. You should have finish() method which sets a finish flag (atomic variable, like boolean) and wakes the background thread. This is a way to gracefully exit the background thread.

Take a look at how thread synchronization is done: http://www.jchq.net/tutorial/07_03Tut.htm

More interactive example

Similar to the OP's, but you can control host, port and message + there is a popup error notification if the connection failed.

Usage 1:

  • get Android and a Linux desktop on a LAN
  • find the IP of the desktop with ifconfig
  • run netcat -l 12345 on a terminal
  • on Android, fill in the IP of the desktop
  • click contact server
  • on the terminal, type the reply, and hit Ctrl + D
  • it appears on the output: section

Usage 2:

  • hostname google.com
  • port 80
  • Message: "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: google.com\r\n\r\n"

Note that some HTTP servers won't close after the reply expecting further requests, and the application will hang until they timeout. Such servers expect you to parse the Content-Width header and close yourself.

If the connection fails, an alert message is shown to the user on a dialog.
