New to networking

[PhQ]

Hey people I am totally new to JAVA networking. I have learned how to send messages to the client and server and how to run multiple clients.



My question is how can I send ints or Strings from the client to the server?

I am going to try to make like a little game, where you can walk around with squares - is there any examples for this?

I think this tutorial will do, if you're going to use Socketing method to connect to the network.

Do a Search on the forum for Socket or client for many code samples.

I know all this :)
I just need to know how to send an int or a String without printing it on a console.

Wrap the output stream in a DataOutputStream. That class has methods for writing many different types of data.

I'm not sure what "without printing it on a console" means here?

Ok I just know how to communicate with sending messages with this:

PrintStream os = null;
os = new PrintStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream());
os.println("Hello from the server ");

How can I do it without the os.println(); but set it to a String in my client class so I can put it on JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(......);

Looks like its time to read some more tutorials. Read how to use the DataOutputStream class.
Your example wrapped the output stream in a PrintStream.
Wrap it with DataOutputStream instead.
The other side will have to wrap its input stream in the DataInputStream to be able to read the data. The data must be read in the same order as it was sent.
