MirrorNetwork

Most of network programming on android are http based, it is ok to communication over WAN, such as Volley, android-async-http etc, but sometimes There are other solutions better suited to the application than http-based on communication over LAN, MirrorNetwork provides a proximal tcp networking technology based jmdns and netty.

##user guide

###client

1. find server based jmdns

    svr = new NetworkServiceDiscovery(MainActivity.this);
    if (false == svr.initNSD()) {
    	Log.d(TAG, "initMDNS fail");
    	return;
    }
    svr.searchNetworkService(new NetworkServiceDiscovery.OnFoundListener() {
    
    	@Override
    	public void onFound(ServiceInfo info) {
    		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
    		Log.d(TAG, info.getHostAddresses()[0]+" "+info.getPort());
    		MainActivity.this.ip = info.getHostAddresses()[0]; //get server's ip
    	}
    });
   

2. start client to connect server and set a application type and the corresponding listener for recving data from server

      INetworkConnection cli = null;
      if (cli == null) {
      cli = new NettyClient(MainActivity.this.ip,  8000);
      }
      cli.setMirrorMsgListener(MIRROR_APPTYPE.MAP, new testMapMsgListener());
      cli.start();
   
    public class testMapMsgListener implements IMirrorMsgListener {
    
    	@Override
    	public void onData(String arg0, Object arg1) {
    		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
    		testMap map = (testMap) arg1;
    		}
    	}
    
    	@Override
    	public void onError(MIRROR_NETSTATUS arg0, String arg1) {
    		// TODO Auto-generated method stub
    		
    	}
    	
    }
   

3. send msg to server(you can make a class implements Serializable, like testMap)

    //
    MirrorMessage msg = new MirrorMessage(MIRROR_APPTYPE.MAP, null, new testMap(34, null));
    cli.send(msg);
   

###server

1. start network service based jmdns

    svr = new NetworkServiceDiscovery(MainActivity.this);
    if (svr.initNSD() == false) {
    	Log.d("ssssssssss", "initNSD fail");
    	return;
    }
    
    int port = NetworkUtil.getAvailablePort();
    if (-1 == port) {
    	Log.d("xxxxx", " not any available ports!");
    	return;
    }
    
    svr.startNetworkService(port);
   

2. start server and set a application type and the corresponding listener for recving data from client

    if (nettysvr == null) {
    nettysvr = new NettyServer(8000);
    }
    nettysvr.setMirrorMsgListener(MIRROR_APPTYPE.MAP, new testMapMsgListener());
    nettysvr.start();
   

3. send msg to client

    //peerAddr can be got from the first param of testMapMsgListener onData function
    
    //MirrorNetwork support multi clients connecting server, and server send msg to one of them with peerAddr
    
    nettysvr.send(new MirrorMessage(MIRROR_APPTYPE.MAP, peerAddr, new testMap(35, null)));
