Discover all services in the network using android NSD

Question

I´m trying to find all services in the network using:

mNsdManager.discoverServices(
            SERVICE_TYPE, NsdManager.PROTOCOL_DNS_SD, mDiscoveryListener);

but you have to define SERVICE_TYPE for example:

public static final String SERVICE_TYPE = "_http._tcp.";

so it will discover all http services using tcp, but it wouldn´t find https services at the same time or any other kind of services

how can i set all this in order to find any service using tcp?

Thank you in advance.

I am using

private static final String SERVICE_TYPE = "_services._dns-sd._udp";

which gives me a list of all available services on the LAN:
