This is a sample project for creating an Android Web Server using the NanoHTTPD library.
-
To make an Android Web Server add NanoHTTPD dependency in your build.gradle file:
compile 'org.nanohttpd:nanohttpd:2.3.1' -
After that, you must create an Android Web Server Class this way:
public class AndroidWebServer extends NanoHTTPD { public AndroidWebServer(int port) { super(port); } public AndroidWebServer(String hostname, int port) { super(hostname, port); } //... }
-
Add
serve()method in your Android Web Server Class :@Override public Response serve(IHTTPSession session) { String msg = "<html><body><h1>Hello server</h1>\n"; Map<String, String> parms = session.getParms(); if (parms.get("username") == null) { msg += "<form action='?' method='get'>\n"; msg += "<p>Your name: <input type='text' name='username'></p>\n"; msg += "</form>\n"; } else { msg += "<p>Hello, " + parms.get("username") + "!</p>"; } return newFixedLengthResponse( msg + "</body></html>\n" ); }
serve()is a very important method beacause this is the response sent by your web server. -
You can now instantiate and start your server in your activity. (Full implementation here)
AndroidWebServer androidWebServer = new AndroidWebServer(port); androidWebServer.start();
androidWebServer.stop();
-
(Updated 2018-08-10) Added HTTPS support for the web server. Included sample BKS keystore in the project. The BKS keystore was generated by Keystore Explorer with type BKS-V1. Keystore file locates at app/src/main/resources/ as a resource file. To enable HTTPS support, insert following code before androidWebServer.start(): (Full implementation here)
AndroidWebServer androidWebServer = new AndroidWebServer(port);
File f = new File("src/main/resources/yourKeystoreFileName");
System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore", f.getAbsolutePath());
androidWebServer.setServerSocketFactory(new AndroidWebServer.SecureServerSocketFactory(AndroidWebServer.makeSSLSocketFactory("/" + f.getName(), "yourkeypass".toCharArray()), null));
androidWebServer.start();
```
