jessefarebro / android-mqtt-service

A simple MQTT Service that will keep running for the duration of your Android application using the Paho Java MQTT Client.

DEPRECATED

I would strongly recommend using the official Paho Android client.

Setup

• Make sure to add the service to your AndroidManifest.xml
• Edit the appropriate fields in the class with the information required

Simple Example

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
         android:versionCode="1"
         android:versionName="1.0">

         <receiver android:name=".MyReceiver" android:enabled="true" android:exported="false">
             <intent-filter>
                 <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
             </intent-filter>
         </receiver>

         <service android:name="com.jessefarebro.mqtt.MqttService" android:exported="false" />

         <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" />
</manifest>

android-mqtt-service's Issues

ActiveMq+android-mqtt

when I close wife and reconnected
at de.eclipsemagazin.mqtt.push.MqttService.sendKeepAlive(MqttService.java:426)
at de.eclipsemagazin.mqtt.push.MqttService.keepAlive(MqttService.java:328)
at de.eclipsemagazin.mqtt.push.MqttService.onStartCommand(MqttService.java:171)
Would you mind answering this quesstions?

topic to keep alive

Sir. I donot think it a good idea to kepp alive by publishing a topic. As I have tested your code, to publish a topic needs sending at lease 7 or 8 bytes. while the mqtt heartbeat is only 2 bytes. That means the best advantage of mqtt is not longer existed.
We could send the MqttPingReq by modify the paho code. See : https://github.com/chinesejie/paho-for-android

retained messages not received

Hello,
I noticed that a topic's retained message is not received upon subscription. how would i go about fixing this?

If show a demo project. It's more useful.

Starting Service

Hi, sorry i am new in android programming. Can you describe more detail how to use this service?

I had tried made a new project in Android Studio,

then I have added the MqttService.java to my java/..../ folder,

add " " to AndroidManifest.xml

and according this http://www.techotopia.com/index.php/Implementing_an_Android_Started_Service_in_Android_Studio, i started MqttService's Service with this command
Intent intent = new Intent(this, MqttService.class);
startService(intent);
in my mainactivity

but it seems from my MQTT broker, that program doesn't connect to MQTT broker.

How to use this code correctly?

Thank you :)

How to dynamically modify TopicFilter？

MqttConnectOptions not used when connecting

Hey,

thanks for this great example.

I think i found a bug in your service.
You create an MqttConnectOptions object (mOpts) and set a clean session
(https://github.com/JesseFarebro/Android-Paho-MQTT-Service/blob/master/src/com/jessefarebro/mqtt/MqttService.java#L134-135).
However, mOpts is not used when connecting ( https://github.com/JesseFarebro/Android-Paho-MQTT-Service/blob/master/src/com/jessefarebro/mqtt/MqttService.java#L247).

Needs to be changed to "mClient.connect(mOpts);".
Found it when I tried to set username and password :)

Thanks,
Sebastian
