Answer 1

The author of the Jmdns example site, published a new example of Jmdns that works without problem. I have tested with the Jmdns 3.4.1 from Maven Central Repository and It works

this link is the new example of Jmdns

Answer 2

I had same problem then i replaced jmdns.jar with maven jmdns 3.4.1.jar Click to download

if you will get dalvik error on start up try to remove jar file from build path and other folder keep this file in libs folder, may be this will helpful to you

Answer 3

Make a folder called "libs", put the jar in that folder, and try.

Answer 4

Add this jar to your project, clean build and try again :

http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/javax/jmdns/jmdns/3.2.2/jmdns-3.2.2.jar
