Yes it is.
Check the astreams tutorial for a start.
A small advice: If you intend to have 'heavy' in-outs, get a good android tablet to act as server. Very cheap ones, tend to behave improperly (wifi problems, processing time problems and so on).

The tutorial already know him and studied, for scoring other app like that but for server PC. Now I've made ​​a test, working, but I have used this ploy, instantiate a number of Astream and socket, for each new connection and associate the first Astream socket is not initialized, and add in a list associated with the Astream. When I send the data I scroll the list, I load the Astream and then launch the write, and it works. I would avoid instantiating all these Astream and socket, there is a hear to avoid it in your opinion?
Thank you very much for availability.

It might be easier to use HttpServer library. This will allow you to run a real http server on your device. The clients can then send requests every few seconds. It will be much easier to build.

Hi Erel,
i have read the 3rd, but at this point of my project, change the comunication isn't a good thing. Farther, with my system i have the feature that i can speak with the specific ip.

Yes you are right, the httpserver is very easy to implement in similary project, particularly if you are starting the project.

Thank you erel for the availability and the suggestions.
