IOAcknowledge method is NOT working for SocketIO in Android?

Question

I am using socketio.jar to establish the connection between Client and Server.

I.e. from my Android device(Client) to a Node server.

As I am successfully able to connect, send and receive messages to that server.

The problem is why I am NOT getting any Acknowledgement from socket after emitting message to the server. There is a callBack Interface IOAcknowledge as parameter, that never works/invokes for me.

 socket.emit( "sendMessage", new IOAcknowledge() {

	@Override
	public void ack(Object... arg0) {

		System.out.println("sendMessage IOAcknowledge" + arg0.toString());
	}

 }, "Hi!! how are you");

Does anyone know the solution when or how that IOAcknowledge will work?

EDIT : Docs link of socket library which i am using.

Official and Github

Answer 1

It seems, that you forgot to invoke the callback on the server-side code:

var io = require('socket.io')(80);
io.on('connection', function (socket) {
   socket.on('sendMessage', function (data, callback) {
       console.log('Message received:', data); 
       callback('Message successfully delivered to server!');
   });
});

For more information check this thread or docs

EDIT:

The problem also is that Ack implementation should come as last parameter of emit function, so your Java code should look like this:

socket.emit("sendMessage", "Hi!! how are you", new Ack() {
    @Override
    public void call(Object... args) {
        System.out.println("sendMessage IOAcknowledge" + args.toString());
    }
});
