Hi! I am actually using the http client library in order to comunicate from my app to the server. The problem is that I want also the server to send some kind of "events" to the phone..so I need also to open a comunication from the central server to the phone... In this case, the phone will act as a server receiving the events...
That is why I was thinking about sending the events from the central server using SMS...but if I cannot avoid others to receive those SMS, this option is not valid either... Gtalk was the other option, but there is not GTalk in 0.9.. I do not want either to use polling (the phone asking the server for events from time to time) Any other option? wappush? sending SMS to a port associated to the app like in J2ME?
