Hello,

I am currently using httputils2 to get json data from mysql server on my server. I want to switch to websockets. Where should I start ? Is this server example valid for me:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/websocket-client-library.40221/

I don't understand where I push the data to b4a and b4i apps.
is it this part ?:

B4X:
    ws.RunFunction("ServerTime", Array As Object(DateTime.Time(DateTime.Now)))
    ws.Flush

So instead of servertime , I need to push my mysql database info which has 100 rows for the currencies. should I send all the data together as json and push it to devices and in b4i and b4a apps , get the data from this socket ?

I am a bit lost about this, is what I am thinking is the correct way ?

And also what method can I use to limit the websocket connections to my own apps only, to avoid other people use it ?


Thanks

Yes.

Start with a small example and learn the basics of WebSockets.

You can send the username and password after the connection.
