Send a String over a Socket

See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples

Demonstrates Socket.SendString, which encodes a string using StringCharset and sends the resulting bytes over the connected socket. No delimiter, terminator, or length prefix is added.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
package com.test;

import android.app.Activity;
import com.chilkatsoft.*;

import android.widget.TextView;
import android.os.Bundle;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

    CkSocket socket = new CkSocket();

    //  Connect to the server using TLS.  The 3rd argument enables the TLS handshake after the TCP
    //  connection succeeds; the 4th is the maximum time to wait, in milliseconds.
    boolean bTls = true;
    int maxWaitMs = 5000;
    success = socket.Connect("example.com",5000,bTls,maxWaitMs);
    if (success == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, socket.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    //  StringCharset controls the character encoding used when sending and receiving text.
    socket.put_StringCharset("utf-8");

    //  Encode the string using StringCharset and send the resulting bytes.  No delimiter, terminator, or
    //  length prefix is added; the exact bytes are sent.  This example sends a command for a simple
    //  application-defined text protocol.
    String message = "STATUS\r\n";
    success = socket.SendString(message);
    if (success == false) {
        Log.i(TAG, socket.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    Log.i(TAG, "Message sent.");
