#16781 — LAN strategy (Android)

From: Dirk Bruere at NeoPax <dirk.bruere@gmail.com>

What's the best way to do this?

I have to read from a LAN using UDP. I open a socket by doing a name lookup 
(the name of a PC I want to connect to) and port number as the app starts.

In a thread I loop around reading the socket for messages and act on them.

The problem is what do I do if I cannot access the LAN on startup and so miss 
getting the name/address? As far as I can see the app sits there doing nothing 
even if the LAN becomes available.

Alternatively, do I put the name/address lookup in the thread loop, and if so, 
how?
