Note: this plugin will be added to Phonegap-android core very soon. :) Here is the forked project: https://github.com/anismiles/phonegap-android

Websocket Android Plugin with Phonegap integration

This is a Java library that implements Websockt API (Draft-75/76) for Android platform. Library uses java.nio.* packages for efficient non-blocking evented behavior. It easily gets integrated with Phonegap framework too.

Usage (native Android)

• Copy Java source into your source folder.
• Create a class, say WebSocketListener extending WebSocket (refer: com.strumsoft.websocket.WebSocket)
• Implement following methods
  • onOpen
  • onClose
  • onMessage
  • onReconnect (WebSocketListener will try to reconnect to the server in case of connection failure)

Usage (Phonegap)

• Copy Java source into your source folder.

• Copy websocket.js in your assets/www/js folder

• Attach com.strumsoft.websocket.phonegap.WebSocketFactory to WebView, like this:

  @Override public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); super.loadUrl(" file:///android_asset/www/index.html ");

   // attach websocket factory
   appView.addJavascriptInterface(new WebSocketFactory(appView), "WebSocketFactory");
  

  }

• In your page, create a new WebSocket, and overload its method 'onmessage', 'onopen', 'onclose', like this:

  // new socket var socket = new WebSocket('ws://192.168.1.153:8081');

  // push a message after the connection is established. socket.onopen = function() { socket.send('{ "type": "join", "game_id": "game/6"}') };

  // alerts message pushed from server socket.onmessage = function(msg) { alert(JSON.stringify(msg.data)); };

  // alert close event socket.onclose = function() { alert('closed'); };

ps: It doesn't support 'onerror' event, and various states as defined by WebSocket APIs yet. I am working on it. By the way, if you like the project, join the force.
