AsyncSocket: Problem connecting.

[Von_Bernington]

I am a n00b. Done years of programing in java, php , various scripting languages etc. Really enjoying this apple stuff.

My problem is : I am playing around with the AsyncSocket class (wrapper), trying to create a serial stream via my application to a middleware device.

The goal is to send text from the app to a hyperterminal screen: "Hello world for sockets"

Anyone know of a good tutorial?

I have played around with it, my current code being the following:

- (id)init {
	
	if(self =[super init])
	{
	
	sendSocket = [[[AsyncSocket alloc] initWithDelegate:self]autorelease];
	
	currentConnections = [[[NSMutableArray alloc] initWithCapacity:1]autorelease];
	
	[currentConnections addObject:sendSocket];
	
		isRunning = NO;
	}
	
	return self;

}

and where I call the socket object created :

-(IBAction) connect:(id) sender{
	
 if(![sendSocket connectToHost:@"192.168.123.6" onPort:4999 error:nil])
 {
	 [sendSocket connectToHost:@"192.168.123.6" onPort:4999 error:nil];
	 
	
 }

Thanx in advance. Viva WORLD CUP 2010 in South Africa .

Well basically , after further research , I found a pretty helpful resource online , which explains sockets , messaging and bonjour all in on great tutorial.

This example consists of 3 classes excluding the User Interface (UIViewController).

Message - that handles the message format

AsyncSocket - Wrapper class for network or serial port connections using BSD sockets as far as I can understand .

Message Broker - incorporating the above two classes and using them to put it all together

Thanx to Drew McCormack for this awesome tutorial!

Highly recommended for anyone who wants to use network connections to other device.
