Usage

Usage is slightly different based on the server being used.

Create a servlet to handle the HTTP requests as follows:

public class EngineIoServlet extends HttpServlet {

    private final EngineIoServer mEngineIoServer = new EngineIoServer();

    @Override
    protected void service(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response) throws IOException {
        mEngineIoServer.handleRequest(request, response);
    }
}

Listen for new connections as follows:

EngineIoServer server;  // server instance
server.on("connection", new Emitter.Listener() {
    @Override
    public void call(Object... args) {
        EngineIoSocket socket = (EngineIoSocket) args[0];
        // Do something with socket like store it somewhere
    }
});

Listen for raw packets received as follows:

EngineIoSocket socket;  // socket received in "connection" event

socket.on("packet", new Emitter.Listener() {
    @Override
    public void call(Object... args) {
        Packet packet = (Packet) args[0];
        // Do something with packet.
    }
});

Listen for messages from the remote client as follows:

EngineIoSocket socket;  // socket received in "connection" event

socket.on("message", new Emitter.Listener() {
    @Override
    public void call(Object... args) {
        Object message = args[0];
        // message can be either String or byte[]
        // Do something with message.
    }
});

Send a packet to client as follows:

EngineIoSocket socket;  // socket received in "connection" event

socket.send(new Packet<>(Packet.MESSAGE, "foo"));

WebSockets

Please see the complete documentation on handling WebSockets here.
