Coap server resources discovery

I am using the californium library for coap communication and it is being deployed on the Android platform. I have started coap server in one device and the client is on another device, both are in the same network.

Server code: Creating a server with below resource

class HelloWorldResource extends CoapResource {

    public HelloWorldResource() {

        // set resource identifier
        super("hello");

        // set display name
        getAttributes().setTitle("Hello-World Resource");
    }

    @Override
    public void handleGET(CoapExchange exchange) {

        // respond to the request
        exchange.respond("Hello Android!");
    }
}

Client code:

    CoapClient coapClient = new CoapClient("coap://localhost/.well-known/core");

    try {
        Set<WebLink> webLinks = coapClient.discover();
        System.out.println(webLinks.size());
    } catch (ConnectorException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

no output from the above code. I don't know the IP address and I want to communicate with the server. is this the right way or I am missing something?

A "discover" is a special coap request, to discover the resources of a known host.

To discover the host, a mutlicast request may be used, but must be supported by the server.

"localhost" is the address of the device itself. With that, the device will send the discover-request to itself.

I don't know the IP address and I want to communicate with the server.

If you dont't know the address, you might either use a "multicast" request first (requires also preparation on the server side, see MulticastServer Example . That example is more complex, than you will need. But demonstrates the principles as well). Or you need to lookup that address (android: settings -> Connections -> WLAN -> Settings-Icon: there you see your IP-address.

coapClient.discover()

Discovers a "known" server, not the local-network. Replace the localhost with "californium.eclipseprojects.io" and you will get:
