#SignalA#

##Updates##

###2013-02-20 version 0.10beta released### I've changed a coupe of things in this realese.

• I have changed the transport. LongPolling now uses basic-http-client instead of Aquery for http communication. I've removed all dependencies on Aquery.
• Hubs is now implemented. Checkout my implementation and say what you think about it. Calling functions on server from client, and calling functions on client from server is supported. NOTE! State is not implemented yet.
• I've included a new sample, HubDemo, in the repo. It shows how you can implement hubs.
• I have also set up a SignalR server on Appharbor so HubDemo can talk to it. You'll find it here.

###2013-02-20 version 0.9beta released### Version 0.9beta uses the SignalR-protocol version 1.2 which is used in the 1.0 release of SignalR. It has also (beta)support for groups.

##Description## SignalA is a SignalR-client for Android. It's implemented as a Android-library. At this moment is long polling the only implemented transport. Long polling is a separate library. Http-requests in the Long polling library is using basic-http-client.

##How to use?##

To use SignalA you have to get a copy of the two libraries, SignalA and SignalA.LongPolling. Add a reference to SignalA.LongPolling under Properties > Android > Library. Then add the following code to your activity.

  String url = "http://<address to your SignalR-server>";
  con = new com.zsoft.SignalA.Connection(url, this, new LongPollingTransport()) {

		@Override
		public void OnError(Exception exception) {
            Toast.makeText(DemoActivity.this, "On error: " + exception.getMessage(), Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
		}

		@Override
		public void OnMessage(String message) {
            Toast.makeText(DemoActivity.this, "Message: " + message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
		}

		@Override
		public void OnStateChanged(StateBase oldState, StateBase newState) {
		}
	};

To start and stop the SignalA connection use code similar to the following.

public void startSignalA()
{
	if(con!=null)
		con.Start();
}

public void stopSignalA()
{
	if(con!=null)
		con.Stop();
}

That's it!

For a complete sample see the Demo-project.

##Limitations## Hubs dont supprt State yet.
