We are in the last stages of releasing a new SDK for Android, which will feature Cloud support. This makes it easy to get rooms listed and created.
I suggest you give us a few days more and meanwhile use a local server with the Lite logic. It's a bit different but if you concentrate on in-room stuff with that first, you will be able to switch to the cloud quite easily.
If that's not feasible for you, let me know and I might push a preview SDK with LoadBalancing.

My Project is complete depend on load balancing stuff. Both ios and flash version of the project was finished. If you push the preview sdk for android, that will be help me.

Thanks in advance.

Hi.
I am a bit confused.
In that thread you are stating, that you are using the Android NDK Client: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=1525, while in this thread here it looks more like you are using the Android Java Client SDK.
Which one are you using or do you use both?

At first, i used android java client sdk. But that sdk seem there is no load balancing stuff. so i currently i downloaded the Photon-AndroidNDK_v3-0-1-0-PreAlpha_SDK.zip. i think this sdk had this feature.

Tobias replied that, he might release preview SDK. So I thought "Photon-AndroidNDK_v3-0-1-0-PreAlpha_SDK.zip" is the preview sdk and so i get look into that.

My requirement is, I need to get the list of rooms and list of users in particular room and I need to create new room.

Please tell which sdk i need to use. Is android java client sdk had load balancing feature?

Please help. sorry for my english.

Thanks.

We offer two different Client SDKs for Android:
The Photon-Android Client SDK and the Photon-AndroidNDK Client SDK. the first of these two is for developers, who want to develop their game in Java, the second one for those, who want to develop it in C++.
You should choose between them depending on the language, which you prefer to use for whatever reason.
These to SDKs are totally unrelated and the recent AndroidNDK Client release of course is not a preview for the upcoming Java client SDK release.
We support Java for Android for more than a year now and the Client SDK can in gerneral be considered stable. However the LoadBalancing client API has just been added to it recently and we are in the final steps of working on it and will release a new Android Java client SDK in the next days.
The Support for C++ with the AndroidNDK has just been added this month and its declared a PreAlpha release for now, as we are still working on full support of the NDK platform. However the current release for NDK already comes with full support for LoadBalancing (which is due to the fact, that it shares the according sourcecode with the other C++ Client SDKs for other platforms).
