Listener to socket at client(Android)

Question

Hi folks,

I want to have a listener for a socket at the client side. I am using Android which is Java. I am using TCP/IP but I don't want to loop at the client side.

Is there any method for that or do I have to have my own mechanism for listening?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Android being Java, you will have to open a new Thread if you want to do asynchronous processing of the incoming data. Be careful to synchronize all communications between the threads properly.
