AndroidSockets

This library tries to emulate simple bare-minimum websocket functionality for android webview.

Usage

You will need to set up AndroidSockets in the activity as well as in the WebView.

WebView

AndroidSocket can be set up in the webview by simply including androidsockets.js in your html file.

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/androidsockets.js"></script>

Activity

AndroidSockets uses WebViewCommunicator, for communcating with the WebView. Assuming you have an instance of WebViewCommunicator you can set up AndroidSockets by simply creating an AndroidSockets object

webInterface = new WebViewCommunicator(myWebView, myHandler);
AndroidSockets aSocket = new AndroidSockets(webInterface);

OR

If you are not using WebViewCommunicator, you can set up AndroidSockets as follows

AndroidSockets socket = new AndroidSockets(myWebView, new android.os.Handler());

where myWebView is the WebView in which you need to emulate WebSocket.

The above setup will insert a dummy WebSocket object in Javascript. Now rest of your code can simply use WebSockets as you would in a normal browser.
