Need to be able to listen to all "other" events

[chenjianjx]

After a series of "on event_a", "on event_b", I need to listen to other events that have not been defined by my code.

This is very important for troubleshooting. Sometimes I expect the server side to send me an event but it sends me another event which I haven't listened to. I don't know what this event is because I can't listened to unexpected "other" events.

Unfortunately, there is no way to do that for now. Basically, you need to know what kind of events server sends.

[chenjianjx]

Yes, there is. Other socket.io java clients can do that. Can you seriously try it?

[nkzawa]

What I meant is this library doesn't support "oher" events. And I have no though to do so for now since JS client also doesn't.
Can you propose this as an issue of socketio/socket.io-client if you really think we should have the feature?

[Aksi0m]

I am also in need for a feature like that!

[Raduzz]

Yes. I need to listen all events as well.
There is a working solution for JavaScript socket-io-client-respond-to-all-events-with-one-handler (second answer).
I see there is a custom decoder in socket.io-client-java from version 1.0.0. Is this a way? There is included test in repository but I can not figure out how to use it.

Hi, JS client has .onAny() now, maybe you'll reconsider adding something like that? 🙂

[rezafaraji93]

I really this onAny too!

[darrachequesne]

Here we go:

socket.onAnyIncoming(new Emitter.Listener() {
    @OverRide
    public void call(Object... args) {
        // ...
    }
});

Included in version 2.1.0

is it possible to track all possible events by using 1x version? because the latest version is not able to connect to the server due to incompatibility . can i achive onAnyIncoming in version 1.0.1

[darrachequesne]

@irshadir7 hi! I will backport the changes in the 1.x branch, let me check.
