Android Question WebSocket library error on connect [Official Library]

Waldemar Lima · Feb 7, 2018

hi everyone , i am trying b4a with websocket server using libwebsocket on C++ , but show message : Server 404 not found on android application .

why it happens ? both are incompatible ?

1. Please edit the thread title. There is a single official WebSocketClient library.

2. Please post the exact error message from the logs and the relevant code.

1) Phone may not be connected to same network (192.168.1.x)
2) Router that phone connects to may have wireless isolation set up. With this setup, the phone will not be able to connect to anything on the LAN (only WAN access allowed)

Just guessing, since you do not run both examples on the same device. You need to run the JavaScript example on the phone with the same network setup as the B4A app. If at that point the JavaScript app connects and the B4A does not, then you may have an issue. Until then, it's all up in the air.

But i am try connect on my vps ( firewall disabled and all ports opened ) , and i get same error on aplication " server 404.

OliverA · Feb 8, 2018

Did you test the JavaScript version on your phone?

Waldemar Lima · Feb 8, 2018

No yet , i Will teste xD , so if js version dont works i need try using 4G connection ?

OliverA · Feb 8, 2018

Yes (for the VPS, should not work for your 192.168.1.x connection).

Waldemar Lima · Feb 10, 2018

i am try with 4G , Releasing APK , another Phone , another network , and all i get same error : " Server error 404 ( Not Found ) .

Waldemar Lima · Feb 10, 2018

well , i am download "NetWork" example by @Erel , and works Fine !

(note: i just download example from HERE ,and RUN on Android & PC )

screenshot on PC = http://prntscr.com/ics83c
screenshot on Android = http://prntscr.com/ics8u3
http://prntscr.com/ics8u3
Anyone have any idea why websocket dont connect but Network connect ?

Erel · Feb 11, 2018

As Oliver wrote, this doesn't look like the correct ip address of your VPS:

Private link As String = "ws://192.168.1.4:8090"

It is an ip address of a local computer.

Waldemar Lima · Feb 11, 2018

@Erel , i know , but if works localhost , works on vps too , i am showing what it works on localhost , but i dont understand why , dont connect only on " websocket" server , note : on socket server connect ...

Erel · Feb 11, 2018

You shouldn't use WebSocketHandler unless you are communicating with a B4J WebSocket server.

I recommend you to start with a B4J WebSocket server: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/websocket-client-library.40221/#content

Make sure to open the relevant port in Windows firewall.

Waldemar Lima · Feb 11, 2018

when i run B4A websocket server on B4J i get this error log : http://prntscr.com/id8iv5

Waldemar Lima · Feb 11, 2018

well , i found something !

screenshot = http://prntscr.com/idaxe6

Please upload the screenshots to the forum directly.

Remove the line with the "add" method.
