I'm trying to code a UDP client to receive packets from a server that is broadcasting on the local network. The problem is the receive
method isn't blocking and waiting for a packet to arrive.
Instead, it's receiving null or empty packets.
I've tried to use .setSoTimeout(0)
, which supposedly will tell the receive to block until it receives a packet, but it doesn't.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Here's the code:
while (search == true) {
InetAddress addr = InetAddress.getByName("0.0.0.0");
DatagramSocket sock = new DatagramSocket(1355);
sock.setSoTimeout(0);
byte[] recebe = new byte[1024];
sock.setBroadcast(true);
System.out.println("entrou1");
DatagramPacket packet = new DatagramPacket(recebe, recebe.length);
System.out.println("entrou2");
sock.receive(packet);
String info = new String(packet.getData());
System.out.println("tamanho: " + info.length());
if (info.trim().equals("") == false && info != null) {
System.out.println("entrou aqui");
System.out.println("info recebida:" + info + ":fsadfsfs");
String servs[] = info.split("\n");
list1.clear();
servidores.clear();
for (int i = 0; i < servs.length; i++) {
System.out.println("vec: " + servs[i]);
if (servs[i].trim().equals("")) {
System.out.println("break;");
break;
} else {
String aux = servs[i].substring(0, servs[i].lastIndexOf("->"));
System.out.println("aux: " + aux);
list1.add(aux);
servidores.add(servs[i]);
}
}
}
System.out.println("info:\n" + info);
sock.close();
synchronized (obj) {
try {
obj.wait();
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(AcederPartilhaGUI.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
}
