I'm about to start a project for a client that has lots of data that needs to be real-time.
There are two mobile apps that I will be building with trigger.io, as well as a web UI, and all of these need to stay in sync.
I plan to use socket.io's WebSocket implementation with my Node.js backend for the webapp & mobile apps. This will work great on iOS and modern web browsers.
However, Android's webview does not support websockets at all. And it would simply destroy the mobile app user's data plan if socket.io used its long-polling fallback on Android.
I was wondering: is there any possibility of an implementation of Java WebSockets for trigger.io Android, then exposing that to the WebView? There is a simple implementation for phonegap
I suppose I could write a trigger.io plugin for it - but I want to be sure before I jump in to this project if this is feasible / not too hard to write a plugin for.
I used trigger.io long ago, but not since all the fanciness came out like native plugins.
