Codename Sockets Library

This library was started as an attempt to add sockets support to Codename One. I have so far created native interfaces for iOS, Android, Blackberry, JavaSE and J2ME.

Installation

Install through Codename One Settings > Extensions. Or manually install with following steps:

1. Copy the CN1Sockets.cn1lib library into your application's lib directory.
2. Right click on your project's icon in the Netbeans project explorer, and select "Refresh Libs"

Usage Example

import ca.weblite.codename1.net.Socket;
// .. rest of imports


// … your application's main class

    public void start(){
        lbl = new Label("Result here");
        Form hi = new Form("Socket Tester");
        Button btn = new Button("Run Test");
        btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){

            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent evt) {
                Display.getInstance().callSerially(new Runnable(){

                    public void run() {
                        runSocketTests();
                    }
                    
                });
            }
            
        });
        
        hi.addComponent(btn);
        hi.addComponent(lbl);
        hi.show();
    }
    
    
    public void runSocketTests(){
        try {
            if ( Socket.isSocketSupported() ){
                Socket sock = new Socket("example.com", 80);
                sock.getOutputStream().write("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\nHost: example.com\r\n\r\n".getBytes());

                String result = Util.readToString(sock.getInputStream());
                    // NOTE:  Util.readToString() closes the input stream automatically.
                    // Don't use it if you need to keep the socket open.  Use
                    // another mechanism to read the stream.
                lbl.setText(result);
                //sock.close();
                Log.p(result);
            } else {
                lbl.setText("Sockets not supported");
                Log.p("Sockets not supported");
            }
        } catch ( Exception ex){
            Log.p("We have an error");
            Log.e(ex);
            
        }
    }

// …

To Do

1. Try out the J2ME and Blackberry ports. They are there but I have never tested them so they may need some tweaking.
2. Stress test.
