Re: [android-developers] Re: Identifying HTTP Get requests in Android

This is nothing Android specific.

Designing HTTP servers that follow this pattern is a common Java
problem, but in my mind there is no reason that you should be doing
this on Android. Instead you should be communicating with your
service using messages to and from a service using a smart mechanism
(GCM) to talk back to your apps.

HTTP servers will kill the battery...

But if you insist that your app is special, the common pattern is to
have a dedicated thread that handles the connection and forks off
worker threads to handle incoming requests, this is the common case.

Is there any reason you'd want truly non blocking I/O? But the answer
is Java nio, which Android *does* include:
