How to create nanohttpd server in android?
Actually ,I had searched some questions and go to the github. But I'm new ,I cannot understand the example.
I want to create the http server in android so I can access it in PC browser.
I had instance a class extend nanohttpd, but the server just don't work. I don't know why ,my computer and phone are in the same WIFI,uh.....
public class MyHTTPD extends NanoHTTPD {
/**
* Constructs an HTTP server on given port.
*/
public MyHTTPD()throws IOException {
super(8080);
}
@Override
public Response serve( String uri, Method method,
Map<String, String> header, Map<String, String> parms,
Map<String, String> files )
{
System.out.println( method + " '222" + uri + "' " );
String msg = "<html><body><h1>Hello server</h1>\n";
if ( parms.get("username") == null )
msg +=
"<form action='?' method='get'>\n" +
" <p>Your name: <input type='text' name='username'></p>\n" +
"</form>\n";
else
msg += "<p>Hello, " + parms.get("username") + "!</p>";
msg += "</body></html>\n";
return new NanoHTTPD.Response(msg );
}
public static void main( String[] args )
{
try
{
new MyHTTPD();
}
catch( IOException ioe )
{
System.err.println( "Couldn't start server:\n" + ioe );
System.exit( -1 );
}
System.out.println( "Listening on port 8080. Hit Enter to stop.\n" );
try { System.in.read(); } catch( Throwable t ) {
System.out.println("read error");
};
}
}
Answer
Your sample code is missing one small detail - you create the server but you never call the "start()" method which kicks it off to listen for incoming connections. In your main() method, you could write
(new MyHTTPD()).start();
and all would be well, your server would respond the way you hoped it would.
The reason it works that way is twofold: I want the constructor to be a cheap, inexpensive operation, without side-effects. For instance, while unit testing, I call "start()" in the setup and "stop()" in the teardown methods of my jUnit test.
