Simple bi-directional streaming example for gRPC with Go server and Android client The Android client is based off the Android example in [https://github.com/grpc/grpc-java/tree/master/examples/android/helloworld]

Server

To build the server Docker image just do in the server folder

docker build -t ticker_server .

and run it with

docker run -p 3000:3000 --rm --name=ticker_server ticker_server

and stop it with

docker stop ticker_server

The listening port is set to 3000 as the ENV PORT and can be changed when starting the container

docker run -e PORT=8080 -p 8080:8080 --rm --name=ticker_server ticker_server

Client

To start the client the server host and port need to be set in the TickerActivity

For example:

private static final String mHostIp = "192.168.2.104";
private static final int mPort = 3000;

Client usage

When the Button is pressed a bi-directional streaming connection will be opened and the first RSS URL sent to the Server. The Server will now pull the feed, parse it and send Title and Description of the feed one by one to the client. When the Button is hit again the next RSS URL will be sent and it starts from the beginning.

When there are none left to send the stream will be terminated from the client side.
