The Java code of the server side, refer to "Java Network exercise: client and server - client send something to server".

The next example "Android client example 2, communicate with Java Server run on Raspberry Pi" show how Android Client connect to Java Server (run on raspberry Pi) and keep connected, and send to and receive from Server.
