Android Question Connecting to Multiple Websocket server

[rhydo]

Using B4A , i would like to connect multiple web servers in a local area network through web-socket. I had given same EVENT name for all instances of web-socket and all are getting connected to different IP addresses as expected and common events are getting triggered. Since there is no TAG property for web-socket , i cannot use the SENDER option in the event functions for identifying web-socket those who triggered the event . If anybody can suggest a solution , it will be really help full.

If you are maintaining an array of the sockets as you create them, you can iterate through that array and check if Sender = Socket(index) to see which one is firing the event.

Another option, which is usually better in the longer term, is to add a class that handles a single connection and then create multiple instances of this class. One for each connection.

Thank you for your reply .
"which is usually better in the longer term" , you mean continuing with code having the array of web-sockets may face difficulties in future b4x updates ? or Android updates ?

Not at all.

I meant that it is easier to improve and maintain your code with the approach suggested.
