Local connecting/networking between differents devices

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Hello everyone,

    In the case of a technical study, a hard challenge... I would like to know if you know by what means, the most reliable, I could communicate 2 applications between them via 2 differents devices and without using the internet. Only in local (I hope it's possible)

    A concrete example:
    I have a Windows application that would communicate with an Android application installed on several tablets (in my idea, 5 android device). The 2 apps developed with Fusion, obviously :)

    Would Bluetooth via the correct solution or direct WiFi?
    Because I had read that Bluetooth was limited, short portability (5 to 10 meters maximum) and low bit rates ... while the WiFi itself allows to have its own network with a longer range (up to 10 meters) At 100 m max) and high flows ... but here, I am totally dropped, I do not know the right solution ...

    Because I would like to create a local voting system.
    I will have a software developed for my PC which interrogates the tablets and/or smartphone paired with my application via an Android application, to be able to vote, therefore to exchange data in realtime for the statistics, and to know if everyone responded, and to know all the apparatuses identified at the time of the downgrading of the vote, etc ...
    The system sends/gets only strings datas everytime like a permanet sync... so no images, no videos or others heavy datas...

    Theoretical scheme:
    PC (Windows) <=== datas exchange ===> Tablet #1 (Android) + Tablet #2 (Android) + Tablet #3 (Android) + Tablet #4 (Android) Tablet #5 (Android)

    So, in the hope of being clear, I remain at your disposal, if you have a need for additional information.

    In advance, thank you for your precious help!

  • Personally, I would create the application (PC) and host it as a server, install WAMP and use SQL. You can then use the GET object between the clients (Tablets) to communicate with the server (PC).

  • Internet not required. You can setup an ad-hoc network.

    Ok, but you must to have a WiFi or Bluetooth device for ad-hoc network?

    After, I know that we can make a server with Lacewing object (Win <-> APK)... but I'm limited about that...

    Problem, you cannot exchange between a Windows app and an Android app through local network (ad-hoc)

  • i'm trying to locally connect 2 ios devices for a realtime action game. i was hoping to use fernandos bluetooth object but found out it was only on android, i cant do it via internet due to problems with inconsistent connection speeds. any chance of an ios port of the object anytime soon or is there a better alternative?

  • It looks like you're using GET with local ad-hoc network then Nicomania.
