attempt reconnect after x seconds #84

phone: galaxy nexus
android version: ics 4.0.3

I am trying to use this program to automatically connect to an a2dp device in 
my car whenever it connects to the main bluetooth console (Blue&me) for calls, 
but I think a2dpvolume is trying to connect to the a2dp device before the 
device is actually available to accept a connection. I think it takes 5 or more 
seconds for the a2dp device to boot up properly and accept connections. I can 
manually connect to the device in the android bluetooth settings, but 
a2dpvolume doesn't automatically connect to it. As a side note, the phone 
automatically connects to the main bluetooth console (Blue&me) with no issues.

My request is that a2dpvolume have an option to attempt a reconnect to the a2dp 
device after 5 or 10 seconds. For example, I have a2dpvolume set to connect to 
the a2dp device when Blue&me is connected, but this doesn't happen. If 
a2dpvolume kept trying for an additional 5 or 10 seconds, it would successfully 
connect and it wouldn't be neccesary to manually connect from the android 
settings menu. 

Let me know if I can help figure this out in any way. Thanks!

This looks like a reasonable request.  I can see the use case.  Thanks for the 
post.  I will work it into a future release (hopefully soon).  Maybe I will 
just add multiple retries.  I can watch to see if the connect was successful.  
If not, wait 5s and retry.  Do this 3 times before giving up.  That would give 
the 2nd device up to 15s to be ready.  I think this would address your issue?

That would definitely address the issue! Automatic retry up to 15 seconds would 
for sure be enough. Thanks and I look forward to this feature!

Fixed in 2.3.15 now ready for test in the downloads area of this site.  Please 
test and report and bugs or issues back here.  Thanks.

I implemented a retry timer.  It retries every 7 seconds and expires after 21 
seconds.  This gives a total of 4 connection attempts.

Just tested and it works great. Connected on the first retry. Thanks so much 
for doing this! This is the only program with this feature. I would have 
thought android would auto-connect all bluetooth devices by now but this is 
great work around.
