I want to use Kotlin(v1.3.0) coroutines & java.nio.channels.SocketChannel (NIO) to replace Socket connect (blocking IO) in Android. because this can save many number of threads. The code below...

I'm playing around with the NIO library. I'm attempting to listen for a connection on port 8888 and once a connection is accepted, dump everything from that channel to somefile. I know how to do i...

What is the best way to set a timeout to close a NIO SocketChannel if there is no data is received for a certain period after the connection is established?

How do I secure a Java SocketChannel, ServerSocketChannel or, perhaps even, a DatagramChannel with TLS? I know that there are some frameworks (#1 #2) that advertise to be able, but I want to know...

Ideally, I only need a simple SSLSocketChannel. I already have a component that reads and writes message over ordinary SocketChannel, but for some of these connections, I have to use SSL over the...

This is a pretty straight forward question, but I have found a need to unregister a selector overlooking my socket channel for java. SocketChannel client = myServer.accept(); //forks off another c...

I am currently using a non-blocking SocketChannel (Java 1.6) to act as a client to a Redis server. Redis accepts plain-text commands directly over a socket, terminated by CRLF and responds in-like,...

I am trying to understand SocketChannels, and NIO in general. I know how to work with regular sockets and how to make a simple thread-per-client server (using the regular blocking sockets). So my...

I want to use a SocketChannel and to have a timeout for its read/write methods. I've tried to set a timeout for the Socket that owns my SocketChannel like this: channel.socket().setSoTimeout(TIME...

I have a socket running, using selectors. I am trying to check to see if my socket is connected to the server or not. Boolean connected = _channel.isConnected(); and it always returns true. I tu...

I am trying to learn Java. I would like to implement a simple networked connect 4 game as well as a chat feature. I want my network logic to be non blocking so after much study I found that Socket...
