Client Server problems

[ankursaxena]

Hi, I wanted to know when you create a client socket and then get output stream and then input stream, do you have to create a seperate thread to read from this inputstream or can I just have one thread which every 5 secs checks to see if there is data on the input stream? The data flow coming in is very little.

Thanks

I would use a single thread, that sleeps between checks, and connects/disconnects each time.
