In other words, we use the Android Things app to receive data coming from external remote sensor units. To this purpose, we can use one of the several available libraries that handle the MQTT protocol. Even if there are several Java libraries that could be reused in Android with some adjustments, we prefer to choose one that already supports Android. For these reasons, this IoT project uses Eclipse Paho (https://eclipse.org/paho/). This is an open source project ...
