On Feb. 24, 2022 Russia declared an unprovoked war on Ukraine and launched a full-scale invasion. Russia is currently bombing peaceful Ukrainian cities, including schools and hospitals and attacking civilians who are fleeing conflict zones.
Please support Ukraine by lobbying your governments, protesting peacefully, and donating money to support the people of Ukraine. Below are links to trustworthy organizations that are helping to defend Ukraine in this unprovoked war:
My explanation about why jmDNS, Android NSD Services and Google Nearby API are not good enough, and why I maintain this library.
There are two version of mDNSReposder.

DNSSD library:
compile 'com.github.andriydruk:dnssd:0.9.17'
RxDNSSD library:
compile 'com.github.andriydruk:rxdnssd:0.9.17'
Rx2DNSSD library:
compile 'com.github.andriydruk:rx2dnssd:0.9.17'
- It's built with Andorid NDK 21 for all platforms (1.7 MB). If you prefer another NDK version or subset of platforms, please build it from source with command:
./gradlew clean build
Dnssd library provides two implementations of DNSSD interface:
DNSSDBindable is an implementation of DNSSD with system's daemon. Use it for Android project with min API higher than 4.1 for an economy of battery consumption (Also some Samsung devices can don't work with this implementation).
[Update] Since targetSDK = 31
(Android 12) system's deamon was deprecated by Google. Consider switching to an Embedded version or some other solution.
DNSSD dnssd = new DNSSDBindable(context);
DNSSDEmbedded is an implementation of RxDnssd with embedded DNS-SD core. Can be used for any Android device with min API higher than Android 4.0.
DNSSD dnssd = new DNSSDEmbedded();
try {
registerService = dnssd.register("service_name", "_rxdnssd._tcp", 123,
new RegisterListener() {
@Override
public void serviceRegistered(DNSSDRegistration registration, int flags,
String serviceName, String regType, String domain) {
Log.i("TAG", "Register successfully ");
}
@Override
public void operationFailed(DNSSDService service, int errorCode) {
Log.e("TAG", "error " + errorCode);
}
});
} catch (DNSSDException e) {
Log.e("TAG", "error", e);
}
try {
browseService = dnssd.browse("_rxdnssd._tcp", new BrowseListener() {
@Override
public void serviceFound(DNSSDService browser, int flags, int ifIndex,
final String serviceName, String regType, String domain) {
Log.i("TAG", "Found " + serviceName);
}
@Override
public void serviceLost(DNSSDService browser, int flags, int ifIndex,
String serviceName, String regType, String domain) {
Log.i("TAG", "Lost " + serviceName);
}
@Override
public void operationFailed(DNSSDService service, int errorCode) {
Log.e("TAG", "error: " + errorCode);
}
});
} catch (DNSSDException e) {
Log.e("TAG", "error", e);
}
