AndroidDnssdDiscoveryEclipse: an eclipse version. AndroidDnssdDiscovery: a netbeans version of the thing.

Below, how I got the AndroidDnssdDiscoveryEclipse project and how to run it.

• create an android project
• in the AndroidManifest.mf, add:
• after downloading jmdns 3.4.0, I needed to remove duplicate .class inside (at the same time I dropped the test classes): ** run: cp -r ~/jmdns.jar ./ ** run: mkdir unjar ** run: cd unjar ** run: jar xf ../jmdns.jar ** run: jar cfm ../jmdns.jar META-INF/MANIFEST.MF javax/ ** (create a copy or link for eclipse), run: cd ../AndroidDnssdDiscoveryEclipse && ln -s ../jmdns.jar
• refresh the project in eclipse
• add the jar as a dependency in eclipse by (right click on jmdns.jar and "build path -> add to build path"
• add info in the res/layout/main.xml: <TextView android:id="@+id/text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" />
• fill the activity
• In eclipse, "run as -> android application" ** if you have a linux pc connected to same network, you should see it listed by your android phone within a few seconds (as it exposes a "_workstation._tcp" service) ** you should also see the service exposed by the phone using "avahi-browse --all" (the service is called AndroidTest)

== OLD VERSION BELOW (before I found the problem with jmdns)

• create an android project
• in the AndroidManifest.mf, add:
• after downloading jmdns 3.4.0 and finding no way to make dex compile the jar, I added the sources with: ** run: cp -r ~/app/jmdns-3.4.0/src/javax/ AndroidDnssdDiscoveryEclipse/src/ ** run: rm -rf AndroidDnssdDiscoveryEclipse/src/javax/jmdns/test/ ** refresh in eclipse
• add info in the res/layout/main.xml: <TextView android:id="@+id/text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:text="" />
• fill the activity
• In eclipse, "run as -> android application" ** if you have a linux pc connected to same network, you should see it listed by your android phone within a few seconds (as it exposes a "_workstation._tcp" service) ** you should also see the service exposed by the phone using "avahi-browse --all" (the service is called AndroidTest)
