Async stream - leave connection open

[wl]

Hello,

I would like my app to have a constantly open connection to my server. I would be using AsyncStreams for this.

What would be the best practice as to avoid the Android OS would decide to kill the thread with the open socket ?

And also: how to restart the connection in case would have decided to close this thread ?

Thanks !

Probably a foreground service has the least chance to be killed.
If it does get killed, you can either schedule the service to open again or wait till the activity is invoked.
