Socket programming on android or alternatives?

Question

Java

Hello, I recently started studying Android development and decided to write a simple . So the task is to send "hello" to the server and get the same in return. Can I use sockets for this or are there alternatives? The question is stupid, but I read somewhere that it is better to create threads in android using native libraries, and not using Thread , and this prompted the thought "maybe sockets are not efficient?". Again, I apologize if this is a stupid question.

Answer 1

Yes, you can.
Alternatives -- http protocol, for example.
