## Installation ## Documentation
The latest artifact is available on Maven Central.
### Maven The documentation can be found [here](https://socketio.github.io/socket.io-client-java/installation.html).
Add the following dependency to your `pom.xml`.
```xml The source of this documentation is in the `src/site/` directory of the repository. Pull requests are welcome!
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.socket</groupId>
<artifactId>socket.io-client</artifactId>
<version>2.0.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
```
### Gradle
Add it as a gradle dependency for Android Studio, in `build.gradle`:
```groovy
compile ('io.socket:socket.io-client:2.0.0') {
// excluding org.json which is provided by Android
exclude group: 'org.json', module: 'json'
}
```
## Usage
Socket.IO-client Java has almost the same api and features with the original JS client. You use `IO#socket` to initialize `Socket`:
```java
import io.socket.client.IO;
import io.socket.client.Socket;
...
Socket socket = IO.socket("http://localhost");
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
socket.emit("foo", "hi");
socket.disconnect();
}
}).on("event", new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {}
}).on(Socket.EVENT_DISCONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {}
});
socket.connect();
```
This Library uses [org.json](https://github.com/stleary/JSON-java) to parse and compose JSON strings:
```java
// Sending an object
JSONObject obj = new JSONObject();
obj.put("hello", "server");
obj.put("binary", new byte[42]);
socket.emit("foo", obj);
// Receiving an object
socket.on("foo", new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
JSONObject obj = (JSONObject)args[0];
}
});
```
Options are supplied as follows:
```java
IO.Options opts = new IO.Options();
opts.forceNew = true;
opts.reconnection = false;
socket = IO.socket("http://localhost", opts);
```
You can supply query parameters with the `query` option. NB: if you don't want to reuse a cached socket instance when the query parameter changes, you should use the `forceNew` option, the use case might be if your app allows for a user to logout, and a new user to login again:
```java
IO.Options opts = new IO.Options();
opts.forceNew = true;
opts.query = "auth_token=" + authToken;
Socket socket = IO.socket("http://localhost", opts);
```
You can get a callback with `Ack` when the server received a message:
```java
socket.emit("foo", "woot", new Ack() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {}
});
```
And vice versa:
```java
// ack from client to server
socket.on("foo", new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
Ack ack = (Ack) args[args.length - 1];
ack.call();
}
});
```
SSL (HTTPS, WSS) settings:
```java
OkHttpClient okHttpClient = new OkHttpClient.Builder()
.hostnameVerifier(myHostnameVerifier)
.sslSocketFactory(mySSLContext.getSocketFactory(), myX509TrustManager)
.build();
// default settings for all sockets
IO.setDefaultOkHttpWebSocketFactory(okHttpClient);
IO.setDefaultOkHttpCallFactory(okHttpClient);
// set as an option
opts = new IO.Options();
opts.callFactory = okHttpClient;
opts.webSocketFactory = okHttpClient;
socket = IO.socket("https://localhost", opts);
```
See the Javadoc for more details.
http://socketio.github.io/socket.io-client-java/apidocs/
### Transports and HTTP Headers
You can access transports and their HTTP headers as follows.
```java
// Called upon transport creation.
socket.io().on(Manager.EVENT_TRANSPORT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
Transport transport = (Transport)args[0];
transport.on(Transport.EVENT_REQUEST_HEADERS, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, List<String>> headers = (Map<String, List<String>>)args[0];
// modify request headers
headers.put("Cookie", Arrays.asList("foo=1;"));
}
});
transport.on(Transport.EVENT_RESPONSE_HEADERS, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
Map<String, List<String>> headers = (Map<String, List<String>>)args[0];
// access response headers
String cookie = headers.get("Set-Cookie").get(0);
}
});
}
});
```
## Features
This library supports all of the features the JS client does, including events, options and upgrading transport. Android is fully supported.

<!-- MACRO{toc} -->
## Creation of a Socket instance
```java
URI uri = URI.create("https://example.com");
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
// ...
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(uri, options);
```
Unlike the JS client (which can infer it from the `window.location` object), the URI is mandatory here.
The [scheme](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier#Syntax) part of the URI is also mandatory. Both `ws://` and `http://` can be used interchangeably.
```java
Socket socket = IO.socket("https://example.com"); // OK
Socket socket = IO.socket("wss://example.com"); // OK, similar to the example above
Socket socket = IO.socket("192.168.0.1:1234"); // NOT OK, missing the scheme part
```
The path represents the [Namespace](https://socket.io/docs/v3/namespaces/), and not the actual path (see [below](#path)) of the HTTP requests:
```java
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com")); // the main namespace
Socket productSocket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/product")); // the "product" namespace
Socket orderSocket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/order")); // the "order" namespace
```
## Default values
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
// IO factory options
.setForceNew(false)
.setMultiplex(true)
// low-level engine options
.setTransports(new String[] { Polling.NAME, WebSocket.NAME })
.setUpgrade(true)
.setRememberUpgrade(false)
.setPath("/socket.io/")
.setQuery(null)
.setExtraHeaders(null)
// Manager options
.setReconnection(true)
.setReconnectionAttempts(Integer.MAX_VALUE)
.setReconnectionDelay(1_000)
.setReconnectionDelayMax(5_000)
.setRandomizationFactor(0.5)
.setTimeout(20_000)
// Socket options
.setAuth(null)
.build();
```
## Description
### IO factory options
These settings will be shared by all Socket instances attached to the same Manager.
#### `forceNew`
Default value: `false`
Whether to create a new Manager instance.
A Manager instance is in charge of the low-level connection to the server (established with HTTP long-polling or WebSocket). It handles the reconnection logic.
A Socket instance is the interface which is used to sends events to — and receive events from — the server. It belongs to a given [namespace](https://socket.io/docs/v3/namespaces).
A single Manager can be attached to several Socket instances.
The following example will reuse the same Manager instance for the 3 Socket instances (one single WebSocket connection):
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setForceNew(false)
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options); // the main namespace
Socket productSocket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/product"), options); // the "product" namespace
Socket orderSocket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/order"), options); // the "order" namespace
```
The following example will create 3 different Manager instances (and thus 3 distinct WebSocket connections):
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setForceNew(true)
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options); // the main namespace
Socket productSocket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/product"), options); // the "product" namespace
Socket orderSocket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/order"), options); // the "order" namespace
```
#### `multiplex`
Default value: `true`
The opposite of `forceNew`: whether to reuse an existing Manager instance.
### Low-level engine options
#### `transports`
Default value: `new String[] { Polling.NAME, WebSocket.NAME }`
The low-level connection to the Socket.IO server can either be established with:
- HTTP long-polling: successive HTTP requests (`POST` for writing, `GET` for reading)
- [WebSocket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket)
The following example disables the HTTP long-polling transport:
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setTransports(new String[] { WebSocket.NAME })
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options);
```
Note: in that case, sticky sessions are not required on the server side (more information [here](https://socket.io/docs/v3/using-multiple-nodes/)).
#### `upgrade`
Default value: `true`
Whether the client should try to upgrade the transport from HTTP long-polling to something better.
#### `rememberUpgrade`
Default value: `false`
If true and if the previous WebSocket connection to the server succeeded, the connection attempt will bypass the normal upgrade process and will initially try WebSocket. A connection attempt following a transport error will use the normal upgrade process. It is recommended you turn this on only when using SSL/TLS connections, or if you know that your network does not block websockets.
#### `path`
Default value: `/socket.io/`
It is the name of the path that is captured on the server side.
The server and the client values must match:
*Server*
```js
import { Server } from "socket.io";
const io = new Server(8080, {
path: "/my-custom-path/"
});
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
// ...
});
```
*Client*
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setPath("/my-custom-path/")
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options);
```
Please note that this is different from the path in the URI, which represents the [Namespace](https://socket.io/docs/v3/namespaces/).
Example:
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setPath("/my-custom-path/")
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com/order"), options);
```
- the Socket instance is attached to the "order" Namespace
- the HTTP requests will look like: `GET https://example.com/my-custom-path/?EIO=4&transport=polling&t=ML4jUwU`
#### `query`
Default value: -
Additional query parameters (then found in `socket.handshake.query` object on the server-side).
Example:
*Server*
```js
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log(socket.handshake.query); // prints { x: '42', EIO: '4', transport: 'polling' }
});
```
*Client*
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setQuery("x=42")
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options);
```
Note: The `socket.handshake.query` object contains the query parameters that were sent during the Socket.IO handshake, it won't be updated for the duration of the current session, which means changing the `query` on the client-side will only be effective when the current session is closed and a new one is created:
```java
socket.io().on(Manager.EVENT_RECONNECT_ATTEMPT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
options.query = "y=43";
}
});
```
#### `extraHeaders`
Default value: -
Additional headers (then found in `socket.handshake.headers` object on the server-side).
Example:
*Server*
```js
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log(socket.handshake.headers); // prints { accept: '*/*', authorization: 'bearer 1234', connection: 'Keep-Alive', 'accept-encoding': 'gzip', 'user-agent': 'okhttp/3.12.12' }
});
```
*Client*
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setExtraHeaders(singletonMap("authorization", singletonList("bearer 1234")))
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options);
```
Note: Similar to the `query` option above, the `socket.handshake.headers` object contains the headers that were sent during the Socket.IO handshake, it won't be updated for the duration of the current session, which means changing the `extraHeaders` on the client-side will only be effective when the current session is closed and a new one is created:
```java
socket.io().on(Manager.EVENT_RECONNECT_ATTEMPT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
options.extraHeaders.put("authorization", singletonList("bearer 5678"));
}
});
```
### Socket options
These settings are specific to the given Socket instance.
#### `auth`
Default value: -
Credentials that are sent when accessing a namespace (see also [here](https://socket.io/docs/v3/middlewares/#Sending-credentials)).
Example:
*Server*
```js
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log(socket.handshake.auth); // prints { token: 'abcd' }
});
```
*Client*
```java
IO.Options options = IO.Options.builder()
.setAuth(singletonMap("token", "abcd"))
.build();
Socket socket = IO.socket(URI.create("https://example.com"), options);
```
You can update the `auth` map when the access to the Namespace is denied:
```java
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT_ERROR, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
options.auth.put("token", "efgh");
socket.connect();
}
});
```
Or manually force the Socket instance to reconnect:
```java
options.auth.put("token", "efgh");
socket.disconnect().connect();
```

# The Socket instance
**Table of content**
<!-- MACRO{toc} -->
- [Javadoc](apidocs/index.html?io/socket/client/Socket.html)
Besides [emitting](emitting_events.html) and [listening to](listening_to_events.html) events, the Socket instance has a few attributes that may be of use in your application:
## Socket#id
Each new connection is assigned a random 20-characters identifier.
This identifier is synced with the value on the server-side.
*Server*
```js
io.on("connection", (socket) => {
console.log(socket.id); // x8WIv7-mJelg7on_ALbx
});
```
*Client*
```java
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
System.out.println(socket.id()); // x8WIv7-mJelg7on_ALbx
}
});
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_DISCONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
System.out.println(socket.id()); // null
}
});
```
## Socket#connected
This attribute describes whether the socket is currently connected to the server.
```java
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
System.out.println(socket.connected()); // true
}
});
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_DISCONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
System.out.println(socket.connected()); // false
}
});
```
## Lifecycle
<img src="images/client_socket_events.png" alt="Lifecycle diagram" style="max-width: 800px" />
## Events
### `Socket.EVENT_CONNECT`
This event is fired by the Socket instance upon connection / reconnection.
```java
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
// ...
}
});
```
Please note that you shouldn't register event handlers in the `connect` handler itself, as a new handler will be registered every time the Socket reconnects:
```java
// BAD
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
socket.on("data", new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
// ...
}
});
}
});
// GOOD
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
// ...
}
});
socket.on("data", new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
// ...
}
});
```
### `Socket.EVENT_CONNECT_ERROR`
This event is fired when the server does not accept the connection (in a [middleware function](https://socket.io/docs/v3/middlewares/#Sending-credentials)).
You need to manually reconnect. You might need to update the credentials:
```java
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_CONNECT_ERROR, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
options.auth.put("authorization", "bearer 1234");
socket.connect();
}
});
```
### `Socket.EVENT_DISCONNECT`
This event is fired upon disconnection.
```java
socket.on(Socket.EVENT_DISCONNECT, new Emitter.Listener() {
@Override
public void call(Object... args) {
System.out.println(socket.id()); // null
}
});
```
Here is the list of possible reasons:
Reason | Description
------ | -----------
`io server disconnect` | The server has forcefully disconnected the socket with [socket.disconnect()](https://socket.io/docs/v3/server-api/#socket-disconnect-close)
`io client disconnect` | The socket was manually disconnected using `socket.disconnect()`
`ping timeout` | The server did not respond in the `pingTimeout` range
`transport close` | The connection was closed (example: the user has lost connection, or the network was changed from WiFi to 4G)
`transport error` | The connection has encountered an error (example: the server was killed during a HTTP long-polling cycle)
Note: those events, along with `disconnecting`, `newListener` and `removeListener`, are special events that shouldn't be used in your application:
```js
// BAD, will throw an error
socket.emit("disconnect");
```
