I want to initialize socket IO in my kotlin app.
my problem is here :
private var mSocket: Socket? = null
{
try {
mSocket = IO.socket("http://chat.socket.io")
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
}
}
import com.github.nkzawa.socketio.client.IO
cant recognize
In Kotlin you can make a Socket Client like the following. All the Exceptions are handled here too.
fun pingYourTCPServerWith(message: String): String{
try {
val socket = Socket("<YOUR IP ADDRESS>", <YOUR PORT HERE>)
socket.use {
var responseString : String? = null
it.getOutputStream().write(message.toByteArray())
val bufferReader = BufferedReader(InputStreamReader(it.inputStream))
while (true) {
val line = bufferReader.readLine() ?: break
responseString += line
if (line == "exit") break
}
println("Received: $responseString")
bufferReader.close()
it.close()
return responseString!!
}
}catch (he: UnknownHostException){
val exceptionString = "An exception occurred:\n ${he.printStackTrace()}"
return exceptionString
}catch (ioe: IOException){
val exceptionString = "An exception occurred:\n ${ioe.printStackTrace()}"
return exceptionString
} catch (ce: ConnectException){
val exceptionString = "An exception occurred:\n ${ce.printStackTrace()}"
return exceptionString
}catch (se: SocketException){
val exceptionString = "An exception occurred:\n ${se.printStackTrace()}"
return exceptionString
}
}
