Not enough information to really answer your question, but if you are interested in a low level communication then this is the best way: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...-asyncstreams-b4xserializator.119011/#content

Are you wanting to send unsolicited messages to the Android app, or would it be in response to a request from the app? If the latter, I have a B4J app that uses the Server object to listen on a specific port for a specific request & then responds with the relevant data which I parse on the app. On the Android app I use a HttpJob to send the request.

Hi,
A nodejs api send a message to a B4A app. Similar to socket.io nodejs library.
