I'm building a Java server application (running on a pc) that register itself to the local network using JmDNS, and an Android client App that should discover the java server using Network Service Discovery.
When I run the android app first, and then run the java server, the app succeed to discover the registerd java server.
But when I first run the server and then the android app, the onDiscoveryStarted
method called but the onServiceFound
method never triggered - the android app doesn't discover the server.
This seems to me as an unexpected behavior.
Succeed case:
Android app log:
08-24 22:42:06.157 NSD_DISCOVER onCreate
08-24 22:42:06.373 NSD_DISCOVER﹕ onDiscoveryStarted Service discovery started

08-24 22:42:30.293 NSD_DISCOVER﹕ onServiceResolved Resolve Succeeded. name: NsdApp, type: ._http._tcp, host: /10.0.0.2, port: 52288
Java server log:

REGISTERED
END

Failure case:
