client-server to exchange files (like in p2p?)

Sorry for typos ….. I would mean if there is any advanced piece of code on how to retrive a device lists (ips) with UDP broadcast.
Thanks

I’m doing trivial connection tests on Networkcomm libary.
I just done into an Activity:

protected override void OnCreate (Bundle bundle)
		{
			base.OnCreate (bundle);

			// Set our view from the "main" layout resource
			SetContentView (Resource.Layout.Main);
			//

			// Get our button from the layout resource,
			// and attach an event to it
			Button button = FindViewById<Button> (Resource.Id.myButton);
			
			button.Click += delegate {
				button.Text = string.Format ("{0} clicks!", count++);
				try
				{
					UDPConnection.SendObject("ChatMessage",
					                         "This is the broadcast test message!",
					                         new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Broadcast, 10000));
				}
				catch (System.NotSupportedException err1) { 
					Console.WriteLine(err1.Message);
				}
				catch (CommsException err2) {
					Console.WriteLine(err2.Message);
				}
				catch (Exception err3)   {

					Console.WriteLine(err3.Message);
				}

			};

			NetworkComms.AppendGlobalIncomingPacketHandler<string>("ChatMessage",
			                                                       (packetHeader, connection, incomingString) =>
			                                                       {
				Console.WriteLine("\n  ... Incoming message from " +
				                  connection.ToString() + " saying '" +
				                  incomingString + "'.");

			});

			//Start listening for incoming UDP data
			UDPConnection.StartListening(true);

		}

			
		
	}

On the button click event I send a bradcast message. I’ve installed the same App in two devices who are on my net (tested with your chat samples and are working). Just in the first I click on button expecting in the second app which is listening something happen, but in the AppendGlobalIncomingPacketHandler the debugger never pass through ….. Where Do I’m wrong ?
Thanks,
Max

After calling:

 UDPConnection.StartListening(true);

Check UDPConnection.ExistingLocalListenEndPoints() to confirm you are listening on port 10000.

Already done! There is any possibility the broadcast messages are not compatible with the wifi router ?

[Anonymous]

Are both of your devices on the same network subnet? Most routers should be configured by default to allow broadcasts within the same subnet but it is worth confirming. If you still have problems I may mockup an example for you to test.

Yes devices are in the same subnet 192.168.1.0
If I call directly with tcp they communicate.
Thanks an example will be much appreciated.
Greetings

Interesting. Has this exception been happening all along?

[Anonymous]

It happens everytime I try to send broadcast message.

This sounds like a bug with the xamarin side of things, we will continue to investigate but because the bug is not with our code this might take a little longer. Please see the following bug https://bugzilla.xamarin.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2162. It suggest setting some application flags which might help resolve the problem.
