Does anyone have suggestions for how to consume websockets on android from the mattermost server?

I have tried using the method from [this tutorial](https://www.varvet.com/blog/using-websockets-in-native-ios-and-android-apps/) but I am getting errors detailed [here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/39234517/java-websocket-draft-refuses-handshake/39239781#39239781). I have also considered using autobahn android but they have a warning that says

```
Autobahn|Android implements version 1 of WAMP.
This is incompatible with version 2 of WAMP which is already implemented in Autobahn|Python as well as Autobahn|JS
Migration of Autobahn|Android to WAMP v2 is coming, but we cannot guarantee a release date.

```

and I don’t know how well that would play with the mattermost server.

Hi @Julia

Can you confirm that se\_bastiaan’s suggestion worked for you and fixed the issue?

Thanks for your help @se_bastiaan!

I noticed that you opened [multiple[1]](http://forum.mattermost.com/t/solved-failed-to-upgrade-websocket-connection/2133) [questions[2]](http://forum.mattermost.com/t/automatically-updates-upon-new-message/2124) that follow-up to this post in the past month. Maybe it’s an idea to open source your code (since you seem to working on a native client) in a Github repository with your work? Maybe I can find some time to help. Or maybe there are others that want to help creating a native client.
