This is a sample project for creating an Android Web Server using the NanoHTTPD library.

Usage

  1. To make an Android Web Server add NanoHTTPD dependency in your build.gradle file:

    compile 'org.nanohttpd:nanohttpd:2.2.0'

  2. After that, you must create an Android Web Server Class this way:

    public class AndroidWebServer extends NanoHTTPD {

    public AndroidWebServer(int port) {
        super(port);
    }

    public AndroidWebServer(String hostname, int port) {
        super(hostname, port);
    }
    
    //...
}

  3. Add serve() method in your Android Web Server Class :

    @Override
public Response serve(IHTTPSession session) {
    String msg = "<html><body><h1>Hello server</h1>\n";
    Map<String, String> parms = session.getParms();
    if (parms.get("username") == null) {
        msg += "<form action='?' method='get'>\n";
        msg += "<p>Your name: <input type='text' name='username'></p>\n";
        msg += "</form>\n";
    } else {
        msg += "<p>Hello, " + parms.get("username") + "!</p>";
	}
    return newFixedLengthResponse( msg + "</body></html>\n" );
}

    serve() is a very important method beacause this is the response sent by your web server.

  4. You can now instantiate and start your server in your activity. (Full implementation here)

    AndroidWebServer androidWebServer = new AndroidWebServer(port);
androidWebServer.start();
    androidWebServer.stop();
