I have a MVC .NET application that uses signalR.
I tried to download this client: https://github.com/Gurgen/SignalR-.net-core-android-client
I ran it on my device. Pressed the connect button. But kept getting an exception.
Debugging it I found that I had to change this line
String connectionId = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject().get("connectionId").getAsString();
to this
String connectionId = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject().get("ConnectionId").getAsString();
I am already starting to feel like this client doesn't support v2.3.0 of the SignalR library in my .NET application. Any way the next exception is caused by this line:
JsonElement availableTransportsElements = jsonElement.getAsJsonObject().get("availableTransports");
I had a look at the JSON returned by SignalR and there is no such element as "availableTransports". This is what it returned

Ok my question, has anyone used this library? Or is there another Android library I can use that is compatible? I am new to SignalR but from what the server sent does the .NET application support websockets? I want my Android client to connect using websockets.
UPDATE
OK I have discovered that WebSocket Protocol feature was not installed in IIS. I have done that now and now this is what is returned, however the client cannot still connect to it.

That is a step closer as now TryWebSockets is true.
