Android Question After AStreams.Close and Socket1.Close the Connection is still alive

[GvD]

i tried your first example with aStreams and an esp8266 sending data through
"client.connect"; "client.println(...)"; and "client.stop();".
It works fine. The mobile receives all data.
But when i close the app - the connection still stays alive.
After starting the app again - it crashes and the connection is closed.
Now starting the app - all ok.
I don't use toastmessages ...

Sub Activity_Pause(UserClosed As Boolean)
    If UserClosed Then
        Log("closing")
        AStreams.Close
        Socket1.Close
    End If
End Sub

This is not enough to end the connection?


here a part of the log after crash:

** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = false **
running waiting messages (1)
** Activity (main) Resume **
ON

... after sleeping i tryed the newer example from B4A_Network.zip... same result: receiving message is ok but after ending the app the connection stayes alive

You should never manage the connection from your activity. Only from a service.

Example of network communication with ESP8266: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...d-and-receive-objects-instead-of-bytes.72404/

Does it work for you?

sorry - but no
- the mobile has to act as a server ( receiving messages )
- in the 2. Version of your example a service is used. The only change i'd done is to change from

Private Sub ListenForConnections
    Do While working
        server.Listen
        Wait For Server_NewConnection (Successful As Boolean, NewSocket As Socket)
        If Successful Then
            CloseExistingConnection
            client = NewSocket
            'astream.InitializePrefix(client.InputStream, False, client.OutputStream, "astream")
            astream.Initialize(client.InputStream, client.OutputStream, "astream")
            UpdateState(True)
        End If
    Loop
End Sub

and

Sub Activity_Pause (UserClosed As Boolean)
    CallSub(Starter, "Disconnect")
End Sub

when i kill the app in adroid ( version 6.0.1 ) - the connection is closed immediately

I can only guess that you are somehow making multiple connections. Calling Socket.Close should close the last socket created.

hmmm - that's possible... the sender acts sometimes every 3 seconds and close this connection after sending...
-> is there a possibility to close all connections with one call?

 

[Erel]

You should make sure to close the socket before you reuse the variable.

ok - thanks a lott! i'll try this!
After testing you get an respond
