UDP Monitor

About this app

UDP Monitor is a simple application that allows you to receive and send UDP packages to/from another host.
It has an easy to use chat like interfase where you provide the remote host ip and port and allows you to send messages to it. You can also configure the receiving port and start listening.
There are a lot of features you can configure:
-Packet buffer size.
-Behavior and format for displayed messages
-Visualize, write and send messages in Natural Language, HEX or ASCII representation
-Notifications
-Auto start receiving on app startup
-Ignore messages from specific IPs
-Program autoresponses
-Clocked auto send messages
-Control UDP Monitor from external apps using Broadcast Intents
You can also save configuration profiles and load them whenever you need them

UDP Monitor is an excelent companion to work with whenever you are developing a network aplication or just monitoring messages from another host/program.

(Disclaimer: It needs to be connected to a WIFI or Mobile network in order to work. Also this is NOT a Wireshark)

Ratings and reviews

A couple of bugs: (#1) The month in the time-stamp is showing as -1. In other words, the January month is showing as number 0, like 30/0/21. (#2) the labels for IP and Ports are visible under the numbers. Other than that - seems OK. I wish you could disable the line with the IP address, so save some space on the screen and make the top part of the screen collapsible, again to save some space. Also, changing the font size would be very important as well.

A very good application does what it should. The only thing I would like is to add the ""service"" because android notoriously kills the process and the application notoriously stops working when it is in the background. And I need the application to be active and listen 24/7 without any interruption.

Wonderful Application. Please make it work like in the background as service. So I can use it even if the app isn't running in the recent list (Means even if I destroy the activity) it should work in background. It will ve much more useful in Tasker automation.
