Connection UI problems

[hurzl]

I switch WLAN off and on (I go out and come back) and get the dialog "connect failed: ENETUNREACH (Network is unreachable)." I can't get past this dialog no matter what I do other than kill the program completely.

Investigating on connection problems I noticed that if you lock the phone/tablet, after resuming it you get connection error even if you quit and restart the app; but, if you open another app that uses wifi, download some data, and then switch back to mpdroid the error vanishes. So it could be caused by a wrong managment of connectivity change when android suspends an then resumes from powersave. I'm not android expert nor I have knowledge of mpdroid code but googling I found this article http://developer.android.com/training/monitoring-device-state/connectivity-monitoring.html supporting my thesis on how tricky could be handling this aspect.... maybe I'm wrong.. only hoping to give some useful clues. :-)

I can't confirm this, downloading sth. via another app doesn't help.

But if restart the mpd server MPDroid has no problem reconnecting (without interrupting wifi of course).

Perhaps we can try to play with some mpd server config options such as "connection_timeout ... (look at the man page "http://linux.die.net/man/5/mpd.conf" ) or "max_connections " I'll try too and I'll write here the results.

Usually this happens when mpdroid bugs out and maxes out mpd's connections. This got insanely better in the betas though

@hurzl please try again in this way because for me works every time: start some music in mpd. Lock phone for.. lets say a minute. Re enable phone, you get network error. Switch to chrome or other browser open a link and FORCE PAGE RELOAD, now switch back to mpd .. should work. Thanks for trying.

[hurzl]

No sorry it doesn't help. (What do you mean by "lock phone"? I mean wifi lost or switched off) The error I get is "socket failed: errno 64 (Machine is not on the network)" Anyway it wouldn't be a solution having to switch to a browser and download something.

[dav01it]

@hurzl I get "no response from server" when reactivating after the phone goes in standby ( in stand by when you activate it again i have a lock screen). I never got errno 64 before. I found another way that works for me without switching: in settings->connection ignore the "default" and use the "Wlan based connection settyings" and in the "host" and "streaming host" fields put the server's network hostname NOT THE IP. I think you must have samba installed and active in the server in order to operate this way.

[hurzl]

If I use the name of my samba server (I don't want to depend on samba anyway) it connects, but after wifi was gone I get "No address associated with hostname" and I have to kill it just the same. In that state even entering the ip number doesn't solve it.

[dav01it]

In my case setting samba name both in HOST and also STREAMING HOSTI get error after wifi on off but i do not need to kill retry usually works and in the worst case i solve with quit and reopen. My version 1.07.2

Is a trick possible in android to make the app crash so that it really quits if I want?

[abarisain]

System.exit(0) iirc.

Or throw a new runtime exception ¯(ツ)/¯

I thought exiting was somehow forbidden nowadays, but that works :)

[dav01it]

you do not need to kill app if you go to home screen or any other app before the phone goes to powersave mode.

I have no problem reconnecting after suspend

[dav01it]

try if you reconnect after changing wifi no?

Note that hurzl running a bleeding edge version might change his experience compared to yours

[dav01it]

ah ok thanks clarifying!

It seems this whole problem doesn't exist on Android 4.4 - ?

When will you publish a new version where this fix/commits are included?
