(Android™) Asynchronous Sockets - Reading/Writing Data

Demonstrates the following using async methods:

Demonstrates receiving text on a socket connection up to and including when an expected CRLF arrives. The example sends an HTTP HEAD request to an HTTP server and then reads the response header using ReceiveToCRLF and ReceiveUntilMatch.
