Not working with Xamarin.Android #76

Closed kakone closed 6 years ago

Hello,

I noticed with latest versions of Xamarin.Android that the devices search doesn't work anymore. Did you have the problem too ? The Socket.SendTo method seems to hang.

Hi,

I'm afraid I only regularly use the UWP and desktop framework versions. The Android version did work last time I tried it, but that was a while ago and I haven't tried since. As far as I know nothing has changed in the lib that should have broken it - you are the first to report a problem with Android/Xamarin. Of course that doesn't mean it works.

I will try to look at it when I can, but my living and work situations are awkward right now and I actually don't know when that will be sorry. Would appreciate help if you're able to look at it, otherwise I will look when I can.

Do you have a specific version of Android.Xamarin you're testing on?

Do you know if it works if you go back to an older Android.Xamarin?

Hi,

Not sure what the problem you're experiencing is. Are you still having it? I just created a brand new Xamarin Forms project, upgraded all the packages to the latest stable release and deployed some test code to a Samsung S8 - it finds 48 devices on my test network no problem.

Have you tried creating the locator with a specific IP address (the one for the wifi adapter), in case it's picking the cellular/vpn connection or something instead?

BTW, I used the latest RSSDP package from Nuget for this test.

In fact, it works great. I did all my tests in an Android unit test project. There is a big problem in this kind of project because async methods don't work correctly. If I do the same tests in a classic Android app project, all works great.

Sad to hear about that problem, but glad you found an answer/work around. Thanks for letting me know and closing the issue.
