I'm working on a real-time chatting android application where I need to connect socket.io for real-time response. I followed this tutorial:https://socket.io/blog/native-socket-io-and-android/ and I've successfully implemented socket.io in my android app and getting the response in a toast.
Here is the Socket connection class:
import android.app.Application;
import java.net.URISyntaxException;
import io.socket.client.IO;
import io.socket.client.Socket;
public class ChatApplication extends Application {
private Socket mSocket;
{
try {
mSocket = IO.socket(Constants.CHAT_SERVER_URL);
} catch (URISyntaxException e) {
throw new RuntimeException(e);
}
}
public Socket getSocket() {
return mSocket;
}
}
Here is the url of server:
public class Constants {
public static final String CHAT_SERVER_URL =
"https://pubsub.XXX.com:3000";
}
I've connected the socket.io in this Activity and getting the response perfectly.
In this activity I've attached the recycler adapter to show the one-to-one full conversation with a friend. For viewing the full conversation I've used retrofit.
Here is the activity code link https://pastebin.com/b22ehMFE
In this activity I've connected the socket through the "username" event and call the "onNewMessage" function.
// initialize Socket
ChatApplication app = (ChatApplication) getApplication();
mSocket = app.getSocket();
mSocket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, onConnect);
mSocket.on(username, onNewMessage);
mSocket.connect();
I'm getting the real time server response in public Emitter.Listener onNewMessage
public Emitter.Listener onNewMessage = new Emitter.Listener(){
@Override
public void call(final Object... args) {
MsgChatActivity.this.runOnUiThread(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run() {
//args[i] is the data received
JSONObject abc = (JSONObject) args[0];
Toast.makeText(MsgChatActivity.this, ""+ abc,
Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
});
}
};
Now, I need to show the response in the adapter view but I can't understand how to do it.
Here is the server responses in JSON format which I want to implement,
pnType: chat
{
"alertId": "xxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
"originator": {
"id": "1",
"username": "jon",
"url": "\/jon",
"full_name": "jon smith",
"avatar": "\/uploads\/images\/1491902152.jpg",
"cover": "\/uploads\/images\/1491902130.jpg",
"is_active": "1",
},
"queId": "1503725762883",
"content_id": "4066",
"msg": "",
"media": {
"sticker": "\/defaultMedia\/stickers\/BlueCat\/3.png"
},
"pnType": "chat",
"unRead": "1"
}
and pnType: chat typing
{
"pnType": "chatTyping",
"originator": {
"id": "1",
"name": "jon"
}
}
Can anyone help me to implement the response in adapter? Thanks in advance.
Got it. Use Model class as JSONOBject by reflection. Add this code n the Emitter.Lister response
