Engine.IO-client.java

This is the Engine.IO Client Library for Java, which is simply ported from the JavaScript client.

See also: Socket.IO-client.java

Installation

The latest artifact is available on Maven Central. Add the following dependency to your pom.xml.

<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>com.github.nkzawa</groupId>
<artifactId>engine.io-client</artifactId>
<version>0.2.3</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>

Or to install it manually, please refer dependencies to pom.xml.

Usage

Engine.IO-client.java has the similar api with the JS client. You can use Socket to connect:

socket = newSocket("ws://localhost");
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_OPEN, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
socket.send("hi");
socket.close();
}
});
socket.open();

You can listen events as follows:

socket.on(Socket.EVENT_MESSAGE, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
Stringdata = (String)args[0];
}
}).on(Socket.EVENT_ERROR, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
Exceptionerr = (Exception)args[0];
}
});

How to set options:

opts = newSocket.Options();
opts.transports = newString[] {WebSocket.NAME};
socket = newSocket(opts);

Sending and receiving binary data:

socket = newSocket();
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_OPEN, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
// send binary databyte[] data = newbyte[42];
socket.send(data);
}
}).on(Socket.EVENT_MESSAGE, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
// receive binary databyte[] data = (byte[])args[0];
}
});

Use custom SSL settings:

// default SSLContext for all socketsSocket.setDefaultSSLContext(mySSLContext);
// set as an optionopts = newSocket.Options();
opts.sslContext = mySSLContext;
socket = newSocket(opts);

Features

This library supports all of the features the JS client does, including events, options and upgrading transport. Android is fully supported.

Extra features only for Java client

Some features are added for simulating browser behavior like handling cookies.

socket.on(Socket.EVENT_TRANSPORT, newEmitter.listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
// Called on a new transport created.Transporttransport = (Transport)args[0];
transport.on(Transport.EVENT_REQUEST_HEADERS, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, String> headers = (Map<String, String>)args[0];
// send cookies to server.headers.put("Cookie", "foo=1;");
}
}).on(Transport.EVENT_RESPONSE_HEADERS, newEmitter.Listener() {
@Overridepublicvoidcall(Object... args) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, String> headers = (Map<String, String>)args[0];
// get cookies from server.Stringcookie = headers.get("Set-Cookie");
}
});
}
});
