I have to provide support for API-14 and above and so I am not able to use network discovery service provided by Android.
So, I have tried Jmdns Library for this purpose.
I have two questions regardnig Jmdns implementation. QUESTION# 1
I have implemented the following code but I am not able to discover any service. When i use NSD for the same purpose and on the same network, then i am able to discover the respective service. So i am noyt sure what is wrong with my code. Could someone please help?
public void onDiscoveryRequested(View v) {
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
setUp();
}});
thread.start();
}
private String type = "_http._tcp.";
private JmDNS jmdns = null;
private ServiceInfo serviceInfo;
android.net.wifi.WifiManager.MulticastLock lock;
android.os.Handler handler = new android.os.Handler();
private void setUp() {
android.net.wifi.WifiManager wifi = (android.net.wifi.WifiManager) getSystemService(android.content.Context.WIFI_SERVICE);
WifiInfo wifiinfo = wifi.getConnectionInfo();
int intaddr = wifiinfo.getIpAddress();
byte[] byteaddr = new byte[] { (byte) (intaddr & 0xff), (byte) (intaddr >> 8 & 0xff),
(byte) (intaddr >> 16 & 0xff), (byte) (intaddr >> 24 & 0xff) };
InetAddress addr = null;
try {
addr = InetAddress.getByAddress(byteaddr);
} catch (UnknownHostException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
lock = wifi.createMulticastLock("mylockthereturn");
lock.setReferenceCounted(true);
lock.acquire();
try {
jmdns = JmDNS.create(addr);
jmdns.addServiceListener(type, new ServiceListener() {
@Override
public void serviceResolved(ServiceEvent ev) {
Log.e("tag", "Service resolved: " + ev.getInfo().getQualifiedName() + " port:" + ev.getInfo().getPort()
+ " ip:" + ev.getInfo().getInetAddresses().toString());
}
@Override
public void serviceRemoved(ServiceEvent ev) {
Log.e("tag", "Service removed: " + ev.getName());
}
@Override
public void serviceAdded(ServiceEvent ev) {
// Required to force serviceResolved to be called again (after the first search)
jmdns.requestServiceInfo(ev.getType(), ev.getName(), 1);
Log.e("tag", "Service added: " + ev.getInfo().getQualifiedName() + " port:" + ev.getInfo().getPort()
+ " ip:" + ev.getInfo().getInetAddresses());
}
});
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return;
}
}
QUESTION# 2 Is there a way to discover all running services on a network via Jmdns?
Could someone please help me with the above two questions?
Thanks and regards, Sunny
Try "_http._tcp.local." as your service type. I saw a similar problem when using jmdns with AirPlay.
