nodejs-android-websocket

Project template for WebSocket based applications - streaming messages from Android client to NodeJS WebSocket server, displaying live data on web.

This lightweight project consists of

• an android-client that sends mobile phone's gyroscope data to web socket server
• a ws-server (NodeJS based WebSocket server) that receives the gyroscope data
• a web (NodeJS based web server) project that shows you the gyroscope's status - live update from ws-server

2. Android Client: open MainActivity.java, update WebSocket server's URI to use your IP address, then create APK and install on your phone.
3. Enter ws-server folder, run "npm install" command, then run web socket server with "nodejs server.js".
