ASP.NET SignalR is a new library for ASP.NET developers that makes it incredibly simple to add real-time web functionality to your applications. What is "real-time web" functionality? It's the ability to have your server-side code push content to the connected clients as it happens, in real-time.
Pushing data from the server to the client (not just browser clients) has always been a tough problem. SignalR makes it dead easy and handles all the heavy lifting for you.
This library can be used from both regular Java or Android applications.

git clone git@github.com:SignalR/java-client.git (or https if you use https)
Download the gson-2.2.2.jar library inside /signalr-client-sdk/libs/ (this can be downloaded using the getLibs.ps or getLibs.sh script)
Import the following project into Eclipse workspace as Java projects: - signalr-client-sdk - signalr-client-tests
Import the following project into Eclipse workspace as an Android project (requires ADT with Android 4.4.2 SDK): - signalr-client-sdk-android
Build the workspace.
The signalr-client-sdk-android.jar will be generated inside the /signalr-client-sdk-android/bin folder
If you are using Maven, you can generate the signalr-client-sdk JAR file building with Maven using the 'package' goal. Otherwise, right click the build.xml file inside signalr-client-sdk and run it as an Ant Build. It will package the classes compiled by Eclipse. The signalr-client-sdk.jar will be generated inside the bin folder.
Run the signalr-client-tests project as a JUnit test.
Add the signalr-client-sdk.jar and gson-2.2.2.jar libraries to the project build path.
Add the signalr-client-sdk.jar, signalr-client-sdk-android.jar and gson-2.2.2.jar libraries to the project libs folder. Those jar files will be automatically added as android libraries.
In the code, before using the library, initialize the platform to use android-specific libraries and compatibility with older Android versions: - Platform.loadPlatformComponent(new AndroidPlatformComponent());
