Best practice for android integration

[babnik63]

Hi What is the best practice in using deepstream in ever connected android apps like messengers? Using android services or ...when to login, keep session between activities, ... If it is possible give me detailed info.

You can use service, to maintain connection, and also session. basically your connection is your session. you can connect with user data or anonymously. depending your deepstream configuration, as far as i know about it.

We have a DeepstreamFactory where you can get the deepstream session or create it if it doesn't exist. We will be releasing an example messenger application on github that will demonstrate that by end of this week!

A sample is very useful, thanks

@yasserf Isn't there any update for an android messenger sample app?

[AlexBHarley]

@babnik63 we should have one out soon. I'll update this post when we do

My biggest problem is keep connection open and retry on network disconnect and reconnect s or open again afre restating deepstream server. All in Android.

@babnik63 I haven't had any problems with the client reconnecting after restarting a deepstream server. One thing to keep in mind though is that the client will stop reconnecting after 5 (this is configurable) attempts.

This is something we have discussed internally and will visit at some point for better offline first functionality.

So we can put some configs and extend reconnect attempts to infinity? Is it safe? I was working on a timer based approach.

@yasserf , hi any news about messenger sample code?

[AlexBHarley]

Hey @babnik63, here are the tutorials for both web and android

• https://deepstreamhub.com/tutorials/example-apps/android-chat-app/
• https://deepstreamhub.com/tutorials/example-apps/realtime-chat-in-browser/

We decided to use records and lists for these, however the functionality could easily be implemented with events as well.
