Is Wifi chat is possible on android?
My requirement is my Pc thats connected with a wifi dongle and my android device has wifi. I want to convert my pc to server and android device to client and implement the chat.
Is this possible?
Please help me out.
Obviously it's possible. To start with, you could make a peer-to-peer chat over UDP, hard-coding each other's IP numbers into the other's programs. A few lines of python on the PC, a few lines of Java on the Android. Then you could start adding the functionality you need to make it client-server: add a broadcast listener on the PC, so that it can auto-detect clients, then you can eliminate the schlock hard-coded IP numbers. And build up from there.
