I am working on an android messaging application .I have used compile 'io.socket:socket.io-client:0.6.2' library to implement this.I am successful in sending messages from android application to web application and receiving messages from web application to android application .But when i installed the same app on another mobile phone, device to device communication did not work.I am not able to understand why this is not working.I am using socket.io here .Event listener is working when i receive messages from web application but wen android application from device A sends message to android application of device B,event listeners are not working perhaps.My code is given below :
