How can I embed a telnet session into my app?
created on Jul 30, 2010 1:17:04 PM

Hi,

I have now published my first app on market:

http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/forum/thread/401068/Chess-for-All-LITE-My-first-Android-Application

The next feature I am trying to install is a connection to a chess server.
The Free Internet Chess Server (FICS) offers a connection with telnet.
I was trying that with a simple Command Promt window on my PC:

I took a look on the net, and the only other person I saw with the same problem was a post from you on another forum. I didn't find anything helpful, even at Google's developer page.

Theres a few telnet apps on the market, here is one: http://www.androidpit.com/en/android/market/apps/app/com.telnet/Simple-Telnet-Client
Maybe you could email the developers of those, and ask them how they did their telnet connection.
