This should be possible as it's standard networking, but you'll need to do a couple things. First, make sure that the emulators, if they are hosting servers, have mapped ports that are visible to the laptop. See about port forwarding with adb<http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/tools/adb.html#forwardports>. Second, make sure that the firewalls on the server laptops are disabled or, better, that the ports are opened in the firewalls. (Of course, for security, if you disable the firewalls, make sure the laptops are off the Internet.) > 2)Can this be done using blue tooth. > I don't have any experience with bluetooth in emulators, but Android Bluetooth<http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/wireless/bluetooth.html>certainly has support for client-server connections. > Can we build an application for mobiles such that while downloading > anything through mobile it would ask to the user whether to save it > on mobile or laptop.Thus downloaded content can be saved on laptops > through mobiles. > Seems plausible. If the application itself initiates the download it can choose to store in it's data folder, on the sdcard or you could create a DataProvider that wrote the data off to some server hosted on a laptop somewhere. -- Jeremy Wadsack -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
