WebSocket in Android WebView

Question

today my problem is that I am developing an app that is using a WebSocket. On iOS everything is working out fine but on android the WebView doesn\'t support the WebSocket. W

Answer 1

I created a sample project which adds the WebSocket object to the WebView for phonegap. You can find it here: https://github.com/pusher/pusher-phonegap-android

I put up a video going over the project here: http://blog.pusher.com/2012/7/5/pusher-on-phonegap-for-android

I used this project to demonstrate how to use PhoneGap with Pusher on Android but ultimately it's just a project that happens to include the Pusher script tag. You could easily use another library that needs the WebSocket object or just use it directly.

It uses the websocket-android-phonegap library: https://github.com/anismiles/websocket-android-phonegap
