BonjourConnect

BonjourConnect wraps the boilerplate code that's needed to find a service on a network.

Installation

Add jitpackto your repositories

allprojects {
    repositories {
        ...
        maven { url "https://jitpack.io" }
    }
    ...
}

Add this dependency to your app build.gradle:

implementation 'com.github.grumpyshoe:android-module-bonjourconnect:1.0.1'

Usage

Get instance of BonjourConnect:

val bonjourConnect: BonjourConnect by lazy { BonjourConnectImpl(applicationContext) }

Start search for the network service type you are looking for:

bonjourConnect.getServiceInfo(
    type = "_my_service_type._tcp.",
    onServiceInfoReceived = { networkService ->
        ...
    },
    onError = { errorType ->
        ...
    })

If the requested service is found the functin located at onServiceInfoReceived is invoked with a parameter of type NetworkService. The object contains detail information about name, type, host and port. of the service/server.

If no service is found within 5 seconds (default timeout) the function located at onError is invoked with a parameter of type BonjourConnect.ErrorType.

Customize

Timeout

If you want to in- or decrease the timeout you can define the delay in milliseconds at parameter searchTimeout:

bonjourConnect.getServiceInfo(
    type = "_my_service_type._tcp.",
    onServiceInfoReceived = { networkService ->
        ...
    },
    onError = { errorType ->
        ...
    },
    searchTimeout = 5000L)
