Hi all.

I am trying to read data from a particular port and IP with android processing.

Does anyone know how I would do this?


This is the same as using telnet on PC to look at a particular message and port.



Thanks.

I have a server sending a constant stream of stuff onto a wifi network. (This happens to be a arduino wifi/project, the constant stream is just temporary until I get my head round this).

The message is constructed:

R, Value0, Value1, R, Value0, Value1, R....etc


I want to use this message on my android devise to do stuff, such as present some sensor information to the user.


The simple question is - How do I read this stream from my server in android processing with the OscP5 library?
My code(that is probably completely in the wrong direction):

1. import oscP5.*;
2. import netP5.*;
   
   
   
3. OscP5 oscP5tcpServer;
   
   
4. OscP5 oscP5tcpClient;
   
   
5. NetAddress myServerAddress;
   
   
6. void setup() {
   
    
7.  oscP5tcpClient = new OscP5(this, "192.168.0.20", 12000);}
   
   
   
8. void draw() {
    
9.  background(0); 
   
10.   println(String,theMsg);  // < - This part
    
11. }
    
    
    
    

In summary: i could do with some guidance into using oscP5 to read a message on the wifi/tcp.
