Share Real-Time Data
For our next project, we’re going to create a program for the Android and the PC that allows users of the two devices to draw on a shared surface, or virtual whiteboard, as shown in the figure. We’ll refine the previous sketches here and here that we’ve written to connect the Android and the desktop PC. The Wi-Fi network has the necessary bandwidth and update rates that we need to draw collaboratively. Whatever one of the users draws will appear instantaneously on the other’s device, and vice versa.
Let’s start by programming the Android; then we’ll program the PC.
