If anyone having this issue yet, I've found a simple fix here: https://stackoverflow.com/a/41400394

Just change line 3 of client\index.js to:

import SocketIOClient from 'socket.io-client/dist/socket.io.js';

I just tried the repo. It is working fine on iOS but on Android, I am not receiving anything. I cannot debug remotely too.

I tried adding these lines in the constructor but nothing come out too.

this.socket.on('disconnect', () => {
      alert('disconnected');
    });

    this.socket.on('connect', () => {
      alert('connected');
    })

Can you please try the repo on Android and see if it is working? or do you have any idea where it could be wrong in our settings? Thanks!

I managed to work for Android too. For android, we cannot use 127.0.0.1 or localhost. Need to specify the server machine's IP address. Thanks! :D sorry for wrong flag!

This example is working fine but when I tried to use the client code in another project I am receiving this warning: Received data was not a string, or was not a recognized encoding.

@Aung-Myint-Thein so how did you do it. Please share code snippets or example.

Hi, this example still not work on Android phone!

I tried on 2 physical devices:

• Nexus 5 (Android 6.0.1)
• Nexus 5X (Android 8.0.1)

This is what I got in my package.json: { "name": "react-native-socket-io-example", "version": "0.0.1", "private": true, "scripts": { "start": "node node_modules/react-native/local-cli/cli.js start", "test": "jest", "ios": "react-native run-ios", "android": "react-native run-android", "server": "nodemon server" }, "dependencies": { "express": "^4.14.0", "mongojs": "^2.4.0", "nodemon": "^1.11.0", "react": "15.4.1", "react-native": "0.39.2", "react-native-cli": "^2.0.1", "react-native-gifted-chat": "0.0.10", "socket.io": "^1.7.2" }, "devDependencies": { "babel-jest": "18.0.0", "babel-preset-react-native": "1.9.1", "jest": "18.0.0", "react-test-renderer": "15.4.1" }, "jest": { "preset": "react-native" } }

When I run the npm run android command the application starts correctly on the device, but when I try to send message I receive this error: com.reactnativesocketioexample E/ReactNativeJS: In this environment the sources for assign MUST be an object.This error is a performance optimization and not spec compliant.

I added a listener on the 'connect_error' event in client/index.js file : this.socket.on('connect_error', (err) => { console.log('socket connected error --> ' + err); })

after some minutes since the start of the application I see the log: socket connected error --> timeout

Any suggestions ?

Thanks

Did anyone resolved the issue for android?

[stanrud]

@priya0607jain @ronastlelobo @filipef101 The easy and fast solution is: Put your local IP address instead of 127.0.0.1 or localhost.

If you don't know how to check your IP Run the command in the terminal to find out: Use ipconfig getifaddr en1 for wireless, or ipconfig getifaddr en0 for ethernet.
