Android Question a very simple P2P chat app

[le_toubib]

Hi all
My first post
I'm trying to make a very simple chat app for text only. I.e : the app contains both a client and a server.
Is this possible?
Where can I start?
From searching the forum, I found a lot about chat rooms, GCM, and open source servers.... tooo much complicated for my simple purpose.
Thanks for helping a newbee

I already played with vb6 long ago, especially those nice server.listen and client.send methods.
Do we have something similar here?. Where to start

Ok, I v seen that before , but is it possible to set both websokets client and server in one app so as to maintain a bidirectional communication with a similar app??? Without the need of a dedicated server to connect them?
Is the websoket library the one to be used here or is there anyone else.
