Adding Library
We are assuming that you have already created your project. So lets skip that part. We are going add a library. Open your app level build.gradle and add this line: implementation 'com.nanohttpd:nanohttpd-webserver:+' and sync it.
Start/Stop Server
We have to create a class extending another class named NanoHTTPD and then implement the serve method and override the Constructor. Here is the code:
import fi.iki.elonen.NanoHTTPD;
public class LocalStreamingServer extends NanoHTTPD{
public LocalStreamingServer(int port){
super(port);
}
@Override
public Response serve(IHTTPSession session){
String msg = "<html><body><h1>Hello server</h1>\n";
Map<String, String> parms = session.getParms();
if (parms.get("username") == null) {
msg += "<form action='?' method='get'>\n <p>Your name: <input type='text' name='username'></p>\n" + "</form>\n";
} else {
msg += "<p>Hello, " + parms.get("username") + "!</p>";
}
return newFixedLengthResponse(msg + "</body></html>\n");
}
}
LocalStreamingServer server = new LocalStreamingServer(4990);
try{
server.start();
//Log.e("local", server.get + " asdf");
}catch(IOException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}server.stop().After starting the server open browser in your phone and go to localhost:4990 there you will see some results. Congratulation, your done.
