Hi there¡¡

EDITED: The error is easiliest reproduced if you call ConnectAndReconnect from B4XPage_Created instead of B4XPage_Appear. If not, the error just happens from time to time.
EDITED 2: A quick way of getting the error. Disconnect wifi, when it reconnects througth mobile connection, the error happens

I'm using Erel's sample Connect and Reconnect sample in a B4XPages project.
My problem is subscribing to a Topic.

B4X: 
Sub ConnectAndReconnect
    Do While working
        If mqtt.IsInitialized Then mqtt.Close
        mqtt.Initialize("mqtt", "tcp://test.mosquitto.org", "B4X" & Rnd(0, 999999999))
        'Dim mo As MqttConnectOptions
        'mo.Initialize(username, password)
        Log("Trying to connect")
        'mqtt.Connect2(mo)
        mqtt.Connect
        Wait For mqtt_Connected (Success As Boolean)
        If Success Then
            Log(mqtt.IsInitialized)               '<-Added¡¡¡¡ The log is TRUE
            mqtt.Subscribe("B4XTest", 1)    '<-Added¡¡¡¡ Error MqttAsyncClient.subscribe(java.lang.String, int)' on a null object reference
            Log("Mqtt connected")
            Do While working And mqtt.Connected
                mqtt.Publish2("ping", Array As Byte(0), 1, False) 'change the ping topic as needed
                Sleep(5000)
            Loop
            Log("Disconnected")
        Else
            Log("Error connecting.")
        End If
        Sleep(5000)
    Loop
End Sub

From time to time you get this error:

*** Service (starter) Create ***
** Service (starter) Start **
** Activity (main) Create, isFirst = true **
Call B4XPages.GetManager.LogEvents = True to enable logging B4XPages events.

at com.android.internal.os.ZygoteInit.main(ZygoteInit.java:1130)

Sometimes the error is "The client is not connected", despite it happens when mqtt_Connected is Success.

See attached a project with the problem.
EDITED: To "accelerate" the error, change the call to ConnectAndReconnect from B4XPage_Created to B4XPage_Appear
Just open the app, press home button and go back to the app one or two times.



Thanks in advance

1. Add Log("ConnectAndReconnect") to the top of that sub.

Done

Call it from B4XPage_Created.

Done.

Now I run the app, and change the way it's connected (i.e. connected with wifi, then disconnect wifi and wait the mobile data try to reconnect). Connected with USB debug

Try it with this code:
B4X: 
Sub ConnectAndReconnect
    Log("ConnectAndReconnect")
    Do While working
        If mqtt.IsInitialized Then mqtt.Close
        Do While mqtt.IsInitialized
            Sleep(100)
        Loop
        mqtt.Initialize("mqtt", "tcp://test.mosquitto.org", "B4X" & Rnd(0, 999999999))
        'Dim mo As MqttConnectOptions
        'mo.Initialize(username, password)
        Log("Trying to connect")
        'mqtt.Connect2(mo)
        mqtt.Connect
        Wait For mqtt_Connected (Success As Boolean)
        If Success Then
            Log(mqtt.IsInitialized)
            mqtt.Subscribe("B4XTest", 1)
            Button1.Color = xui.Color_Green
            Log("Mqtt connected")
            Do While working And mqtt.Connected
                mqtt.Publish2("ping", Array As Byte(0), 1, False) 'change the ping topic as needed
                Sleep(5000)
            Loop
            Button1.Color = xui.Color_Red
            Log("Disconnected")
        Else
            Log("Error connecting.")
        End If
        Sleep(5000)
    Loop
End Sub

I think it is something that has changed between version 1.00 and 1.01.

With 1.00 it never "breaks" me and yet the same code with version 1.01 always ...

This example is compiled with version 1.00 of jMQTT.

I want to know the time it took for a signal to reach a specific server. How can I use this library for this or maybe you know other ways to get the ping time.
