Using this as a background service

[drakula84]

Hi

Great plugin.. thanks for that. I need to have permanent connection with the server.. is it possible to have this plugin run as a background service so that the service still runs if the app is killed? Or is there a better solution for that scenario?

Although this plugin does not run in service (because of I didn't design for it), the source code is able to run in service.
Create a service class, then copy the source code.

Thanks, yes, I did it and it seems to work. However, https didn't work out of box. I will need to investigate it a bit further. I have seen this thread: socketio/socket.io-client-java#26 - but I will read it tomorrow.

Had you tested it with https?

Yes, this library works fine with https. I uses https://github.com/nkzawa/socket.io-client.java in my work project.
Do you use self-signed ssl file, perhaps?

Hi yes, I am using self-signed certificates, but I tried to install it on my device and it said certificate is installed. However, it doesnt list it under Security-Credential Storage-Trusted Credentials. I am not too sure if it is supposed to list it there anyway.

Should it work with self signed certs once they are installed?

Using the SSL configuration code from page below makes it work:
