I would like to know what is the recommendation for socket connection management in Android?
In our App we would like to be connected to a TCP/IP server when our app is in the foreground or paused. So, create a connection to a TCP/ IP server when the App starts --basically, On Create of the launcher activity. However, we do not want to create a new connection and close connection every time an activity is created, paused, destroyed or orientation changed. So, we save the connection object in the App class and the activities will reuse the same connection. Question is when do I close it? I would like to close the socket when the App is "paused", "stopped" or "destroyed". The problem is these messages are not sent in the App context. How can I figure out if the App is in foreground or not? Even the "Terminated" event for an App is not guaranteed to be delivered. So, in that case how do I know when to disconnect? is there any recommendation on how to manage socket connection in Android? it is very weird that Android does not allow apps to 'exit" or be notified when the app exits. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
