Re: [android-developers] Mobile network idle sockets disconnected

Well, just to recap:

You know that android is not supposed to keep an idle connection open for an extended period.

Also you have declined the option to  use of a heartbeat to keep the connection open.

You also know that GCM (C2DM) have a way of keeping in touch.

At this point the main(only?) route to pursue is to look over the GCM libs from google and see how they do it.

Best regards,

Fred

Fred,

I do understand that this is not a "standard" for most android apps. Therefore, there are a number of scenarios, like Mark pointed out. In this case, the connection is also used for data pushing. Polling would be much simpler, but it does not fit the required scenario.

You would do this for any sort of push delivery from the server:
standard push notifications, VOIP for incoming calls, etc.

So, for example, C2DM used to have this sort of heartbeat logic, and I
presume GCM does too.
