TCP/IP communication

[michelg]

Hi friends,

I have a server program written in VB6 in my laptop. I used the Winsock object that comes with VB6 (tcp/ip). The server program has a Textbox with a number that keep on changing. I want to use my android phone as a client to request the number from the server when I want to. Then I want the server to be able to contact the Android phone when certain very specific number is showing up in the Textbox.

I'm new to Android and I do not know how to start. I understand VB6 fairly.

I'm using Basic4android.

Please, help anything is appreciated.

You can connect to a real device in USB debug mode or with B4A-Bridge: B4A-Bridge a new way to connect to your device

Thank you very much for your help.

I was in school;B4a-bridge refused to work. As soon as I got home, B4a-bridge worked fine and my app was installed. What could possibly be the problem at school. The firewall?

What is USB Debub? How to use it to connect to a real device?

Thank you once again!

It is explained in this tutorial: http://www.b4x.com/forum/basic4andr...ge-new-way-connect-your-device.html#post45042

You should install the device specific driver in your computer and also enable USB debugging in the device development settings.
