Android Question Telnet from Android to PC

[karld]

I have been requested to code an Android app that will connect to a program running on a PC.
The PC application was written by someone else and does have an API to communicate with other software. It is all done with XML via a Telnet connection.

I have been searching the archives for info, but either I am blind or I don't know what to search for.

I have never coded network communications, or XML.

Anyone have any hints? Are there any libraries already put together to do this with? All I have ever coded were some database apps...

You need to use Socket from the Network library together with AsyncStreams. The port number is probably 23.

You should use AsyncStreams in non prefix mode or better use AsyncStreamsText class.
