Application crashes / stops working when screen locks #6

We need to implement whatever mechanisms are necessary so that it can gracefully handle the Activity lifecycle

Tests and results:

Running video publisher in a device, mission control in another one

video_publisher is:

  1. minimized: when maximized, the video player continues playing video
  2. rotated: video player continues playing
  3. locked: video_publisher device: video_publisher stops streaming (solved after handling VideoPublisherMainActivity life cycle). After fix, it sends packages.
  4. closed: TO-FIX: Close video_publisher and restart the application: doesn't reconnect. If I restart mission_control after restarting video_publisher, they both stream and play perfectly.

mission_control is:

  1. minimized: TO-FIX: it doesn't play any more frames (frames arrive but they are dropped). Activity clycle: OnPause->OnStop->OnResume.
  2. rotated: when device is rotated, it keeps playing video. Activity cycle: OnPause->OnStop->OnResume.
  3. locked: it keeps playing. Activity cycle: OnPause->OnStop->OnResume.
  4. closed: when restarted, it reconnects.

Note: I'm having issues using the samsung S4 to publish video. The frames come out off order (most of them) and the video in mission_control is delayed, fragmented and not clear at all.

Two cases are still having trouble. Test and fix.

Wouldn't this be fixed if #3 would be correctly fixed ?

ashyonline commented 9 years ago

No.

The no fixed cases are:

Video publisher is closed and restarted. Mission control is minimized.
