real time reading would be if you can read say fixed length by read command you may be able to achieve that say read(100 bytes) and then if you think you are going receive more then continue loop etc
as far as outputting real time you can do thread once u read send it to a thread that takes care of updating textview or other way would be dealing with handler. with handler u just send message to handler and in handler whenever it receives message it updates the ui elements if thats the case but it happens on main ui thread when it is ready to do hence not guaranted real time but this is one of good ways to achive ui updates from a secondary thread. also i heard about asynthread if i am not mistaken. you can try some of these see if something fits ur criteria On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 6:31 PM, Mike Mackintosh <[email protected]> wrote: > Looking to see if anyone knows how to read a socket and output the data > realtime.
