Socket connection problem

[manojkumar.m]

Hi all,

I am writing an application which uses socket connection.

I am able to establish a connection and can able to send the data.

But I am unable to read the data.

I am using eclipse 3.1 + carbide J1.5, S60 3rd edition FP1.

I don't understand why I am not able to read the data.

Here is my sample code.

SocketConnection sc = (SocketConnection)Connector.open(url);
InputStream is = sc.openInputStream();
OutputStream os = sc.openOutputStream();

os.write("hai!");
int availableData = is.available();
if(availableData==0)
{
System.out.println("data is not available.");
}
else
{
System.out.println("data is available:"+availableData);
}


while (((c = is.read()) != '\n') && (c != -1))
{
sb.append((char)c);
System.out.print((char)c);

}

I am getting is.avaible as 0 in j2me.
But when I tried the same code in normal java program I am getting some value and able to read the incoming data.

Do I need to do any settings for the S60 emulator???
Or
Am I missing anything??

Please help me.

Thanks,
Manoj.

Hi Manoj,
Try out this option in socket connection.

client = (SocketConnection) Connector.open(url,Connector.READ_WRITE);
client.setSocketOption( SocketConnection.DELAY, 0 );
client.setSocketOption( SocketConnection.KEEPALIVE, 0 );

Hi Manoj,

Hi BhanuChandar,

I have added the statements suggested by you.

But I didn't get any response.

Still I am getting is.available() as zero.

What should I do?

Thanks,
Manoj.

Hi,

Why don't you try the HTTP connection rather than socket give it a try and see weather it is working. But I have not tried it socket connection in emulator. We are using the s40 emulator but there is no way to specify go through the socket connection. I think it is better to try in actual devise. Which will go through the socket connection.

I.e S40(3rd and 5th) devise

Do you mean that socket programming doesn't work on S60 emulator?

will it work on S40 devices???

Hi,

I don't have any Idea about the S60 Emulator, But In our application also we are using the both the http and socket connection. We are using the S40 Emulators . In that there is no option to say go through socket connection.

In our application we have a two loops send data through http and socket. We prefer application go through the http. if it fails the http connection we will try to connect over the socket. All the s60 devise will support http (As of my knowledge)

It is better to try the application on real devise than the Emulator
