Android :: TCP (XMPP) Keep Alive And TMobile
Apr 14, 2009
I just wondered which frequency is OK to send whitespace keep alive packets onto a TCP connection to keep it alive on a T-Mobile 3G connectivity (the use case is to maintain an idle XMPP session alive). On SFR in France, we are disconnected if idle for 3 minutes, but I guess T-Mobile's timeout is lower. By the way there is a bug in the Smack library, the "keep alive" setting is not enforced, e.g. if you set it to 30s, in the worst case the whitespace will not be sent until the double of this time (60s).

I went through the Android introduction videos and in them an engineer from Google spoke of an open XMPP/gtalk service provided by Android, that developers could use to push messages out from a server to Android devices. I googled the forums and dug through the SDK samples, but could not find any code for these XMPP services. Also my search results only returned entries logged in the Jan 2008 time frame an earlier (I found this to be somewhat odd). Anyway, there was mention of a SMACK API that handles xmpp messaging, but I'm assuming that android has their own libraries for this.

I want to create an application for Android that enables me to get the geolocation of a user. This has to be made as a client-server app and for the server side I'm using OpenFire. For getting the user's location I would have to use XEP-0080, right? And SmackAPI also? I'm completely new to XMPP and Smack, so if anyone could get me a few pointers or maybe examples or any kind of documentation about this I'd be very grateful.

I tried googling this quite a bit, but all the articles are from early 09 where things were much different. Seeing currently hardware and stuff, whats the battery life like when using XMPP on Android as a service?

I have an app which declares a BroadcastReceiver, the receiver gets the broadcast, does what it needs to, then ends ensuring that everything is tidied up as needed. When I examine the system through the DDMS view in Eclipse the process for the application is still running after the receiver has completed. I've even boiled it down to a simple test case which gets a shared preferences instance from the context, checks a random setting, and then exits, and, when run on the 1.5 emulator (which is the minimum supported OS level) the process is still hanging around.The reason this is an issue is memory usage (which shows under DDMS as around 2MB).I've had queries about why the application still uses up memory even when it's not doing anything, so, my question is; Is this behaviour normal, or have I missed something that would make the process exit?

Is it possible to keep service alive even if the foreground app does not run anymore? My app consists of a foreground app (UI) and a service that should keep running in the background until it is being explicitly stopped by the user (similar to a music player). The problem is that if the user opens other apps, my foreground app is being killed by the system (makes sense) but then also the service is being killed by the system (does not make sense).

Well with facebook finally announcing support for 3rd party access to the facebook chat protocol (either by XMPP or Jabber) I was trying to see anyone had a good program that let you talk on skype (for IM purposes) and facebook chat (via jabber or XMPP)? I've tried using nimbuzz, Meebo, and IM+ all that didn't seem to work flawlessly -- I know AIM just updated with facebook chat, but kinda hoping for a one program solution.

I am working on a XMPP client on Android, using the Smack library. The roster/messaging/presence stuff is running very well. However, I didn't find a way to store additional profile information (userpicture, the dogs name, ...). The only way I see from googling is using VCards. But it simply did not work. I tried the following:.................

am developing an app that needs to track incoming calls. I have set up a phonelistener which is launched form a service like so
TelephonyManager tm = (TelephonyManager)getSystemService (TELEPHONY_SERVICE); tm.listen(mPhoneListener, PhoneStateListener.LISTEN_NONE);
This seems to work for a while but then fails to fire after - say an hour. I have tried relaunching the listening in a timertask every 60 seconds but this does not seem to work. Is there a way of keeping a listener alive for a long period of time. I can only assume the system is garbage collecting it.

How do I make my service always alive?? If my service gets killed because of an exception or if the VM kills my service on low memory, How do I make sure that my service is always running?

I am able to connect my PC to the local tigase server setup locally(I am using Smack API). Now I am facing problems when I want to connect Android Phone to that server over Wi-Fi. I am able to connect to the local server by using client Beem for android.My XMPP Domain name of the server is my PC name "mwbn43-1" and IP address is "192.168.0.221"(I am able to ping this server from Android Terminal Emulator). In Beem Settings there is an Advanced option where I can specify server I want to connect with(which I have given as IP address).If I don't set this option I am not able to conect.Now here is the snippet of the code I have used for my android client.

I am currently finding about how to build a XMPP client application on android 2.1.I came across this link which somewhat talks about the same problem.I am a newbie to android dev and thus found the solution given there to be difficult to digest.
The system currently has Active MQ as a JMS provider.My job is to fed the messages coming from JMS to the XMPP server and then develope XMPP client on android 2.1 which will listen and show notification to the events pushed by the server. I have following concerns(which might sound foolish)
1.How do I push the events from JMS to the XMPP server which will in turn push them on android?
2.Which XMPP server implementation I should use?I have 3 options....................

I am currently working on a project which requires a server to request data from the devices which are currently connected to the server. Meaning, first the server finds out which devices are connected to the server and then sends an application specific message to the client device which should wake certain functionality present on the client, like for example send out its current location.
I was looking into XMPP service which looked promising since it works as a PUSH notification. The <presence> in XMPP can be used to check if the device is currently connected and has subscribed to the server. Since every android user has a gmail account, I was thinking of using the gmail xmpp service to connect /subscribe to the server. Then send specific message to the client, i.e x...@gmail.com. But if a message is sent this way the client app gets the message as well as the native gtalk client. So how do I go about intercepting this so that it doesn't show up on the gtalk client but my app still gets it.

I want my service keeps network connection alive even if user presses the power button to shutdown the screen. As I have tested, socket will return exceptions and through CONNECTIVITY_ACTION intent, i know EXTRA_NO_CONNECTIVITY is true. So can current Android keep connection not closed when screen is off?

The default way configuration changes (i.e., rotates) are handled is to destroy the activity & recreate it with a new one. What is the recommended way to handle these changes in an activity that binds / unbinds to a service (that is possibly heavy/slow to start)? When the activity gets destroyed, it unbinds & causes the service to be destroyed. When the new activity is created, it binds & recreates the service.
The only choices seem to be:
-- override onConfigurationChanged in the activity. Feels ok, but non - conformant.
-- explicitly start the service & only stop it when the last activity gets an onDestroy that's not due to a config change (i.e., there was no call to onRetainNonConfigurationInstance). Feels icky.
-- explicitly start the service & don't stop it until some amount of time after the last unbind. Ickier.
On a related note, what happens between activity switches within a process, where the first activity (A) starts the next activity (B) & then calls finish() -- is there a guarantee that B.onCreate is called before A.onDestroy? If not, and the activities share a service, the same issue of keeping the service alive during this window exists, but with only the icky workarounds.

Trying to understand the Android framework model. I have an application that needs to have several threads running. On thread gets GPS fixes, another picks up GPS fixes and pushes them to server, and yet another occasionally polls a server for dispatched orders. Some of these threads update status Views as well.
Since I am new to Android, the application framework model hasn't clicked for me. Where are these threads started? Right now I start the threads in the initial Activity, but if I understand it right, once that Activity goes invisible it is stopped. Furthermore, I have to track GPS and network statistics so that I can have a View which may (or may not) be the active View.

Is there a way to keep an Activity in memory after the user hits the back button on it?ActivitySearch is used frequently in my app, however after the user starts it up, then hits the back button, it's destroyed, and the next visit to it requires it be built from scratch again.If after its first construction, I could just request it be paused instead of destroyed on the back button, then I could reuse it. Is there a sensible way of doing this?The only way I could think of reasonably doing it is to combine ActivitySearch with ActivityMainMenu into a single activity, and simply switch views when the user chooses search, but this is probably a bad design.

If it is possible to keep an Air for Android application alive during sleep, how can it be done? I know how to prevent sleep and lock but this course is not preferable to some users.
Update
The reason in this case is to keep the video streaming from the phone to a server.

connect / login are executed in the same thread of the caller, then are blocking - The packetlistener callbacks are called from smack receiver thread - The sendpacket enqueues the message to a queue. when I receive a message, I need to propagate it. I can use an handler, but it only gets the runnable object. How can I pass the data to the runnable called by the handler? I can't use a local variabile, because if I receive a lot of messages it will be overridden and I will loose some of them. Is it ok to use a queue to feed the runnable? Are there other techniques?

Once we call the startService() method, can we keep the service alive until its explicitly stopped by the user? I want my service to stay alive until the phone is switched off. How can i do this? The idea is that when I receive an incoming call, I want to start recording and once the status changes to idle, I want to stop the recording. I am doing this inside my service. It does work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't. How can I implement such a thing in a service? Can someone help me with this?

I am currently firing an Intent to a Broadcast Receiver which in turns starts an Activity.
Then from the same Service another Intent is fired to a Broadcast Receiver thats in the Activity.
The problem is that the Activity isn't getting the Intent meant for it because it is fired before it is alive and the Broadcast Reciever is registered.
I was wondering is there anyway to make sure an Activity is alive before sending an Intent?

I am an android developer and I made some board games. Now i want to make some of my board games multiplayer. I don't want to create and host my own web service, so i thought about P2P.
The first thing i found was the XMPP protocol, however it's not real P2P, but if i can use the existing google talk service, i'm ready to go. Is this possible while using your existing google account without interfering with the normal working of your google talk client?
Then i heard about JXTA, a real P2P solution, and it's already ported from J2ME to Android (http://code.google.com/p/peerdroid/).
Maybe i am overcomplexing things here (as i do sometimes)
I just want to know the easiest way to do simple P2P for a boardgame.

I need to be able to post XMPP messages in my main activity AND a service that I am running in the background. How can I pass all the XMPP information (including XMPPConnection) to the service so it can use it without twice logging in? Currently I have it setup so I am making 2 XMPP connections. This works, my service continues to send XMPP messages UNTIL I try to send a message in my main activity, then the app force closes. Im assuming because I have tried to login to the service twice.
