Not able to run BasicCoapClient on android. Coap Server is hosted on a laptop 
in the same wireless network. Need more documentation for the same.

Hi NITIN.JA...@gmail.com:: Yes I was able to run it on android. For my demo, I 
did the following steps:

- Inside onStart() method of my activity, I connected to the server using 
CoapChannelManager API. 

CoapChannelManager channelManager = BasicCoapChannelManager.getInstance();
clientChannel = channelManager.connect(....) ;

- Inside one of the listeners of a UI component, I created and sent the request 
over the channel acquired in onStart.

CoapRequest coapRequest = clientChannel.createRequest(true, 
CoapRequestCode.GET);
coapRequest.set.... // Multiple set statements
clientChannel.sendMessage(coapRequest);

- Add permission for INTERNET access in you android manifest. This is what I 
missed actually when I posted my last comment. After debugging, I found the 
issue :)

<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />

Thanks for taking time off to reply, but it does not seem to do the trick for 
me, did you tweak anything on the BasicCoapServer code?

Nope.. no changes in server side code. Are you seeing any error in logcat ? Or 
any specific observations during debugging?

No error in logcat...
Observations:
I found out that the the message to be sent is getting added to the sendBuffer 
in the BasicCoapSocketHandler but the sendBufferedMessages() method is not 
getting called...from the WorkerThread

Which version of android were you testing on by the way?

I used API level 19 during design time. At runtime, my device is android 4.4. 
It worked even in 4.3.

you.
