android - How do I have an app interact with a server inside an intranet? -
i'm start development on app designed communicate information server (hosting web interface , storing data) inside intranet. i've had large deal of programming experience i'm wholly new mobile app development, whole thing learning experience me.
i guess have more 1 question:
- if intranet offers wifi, easy enough see server existing on same intranet?
- assuming phone , server part of same intranet network, general mechanisms available me have them communicate?
- if intranet not available through wifi, what's best option? (maybe force wifi setting router?)
p.s. i'm final year undergrad developing app+web-app real organisation, gentle me :)
1) if intranet offers wifi, you're go, http request routed correct local boxes.
2) http requests, treat you'd treat external site.
3) if don't have wifi, consider setting vpn , in app guide user through setting vpn. or, set external server (outside intranet) acts proxy intranet server, requiring sort of auth before forwards requests you. acting gate keeper.
