SocketKeepalive

public abstract class SocketKeepalive
extends Object implements AutoCloseable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.net.SocketKeepalive


Allows applications to request that the system periodically send specific packets on their behalf, using hardware offload to save battery power. To request that the system send keepalives, call one of the methods that return a SocketKeepalive object, such as ConnectivityManager#createSocketKeepalive, passing in a non-null callback. If the SocketKeepalive is successfully started, the callback's onStarted method will be called. If an error occurs, onError will be called, specifying one of the ERROR_* constants in this class. To stop an existing keepalive, call SocketKeepalive#stop. The system will call SocketKeepalive.Callback#onStopped if the operation was successful or SocketKeepalive.Callback#onError if an error occurred.

Public methods

close

public final void close ()

Deactivate this SocketKeepalive and free allocated resources. The instance won't be usable again if close() is called.

start

public final void start (int intervalSec)

Request that keepalive be started with the given intervalSec. See SocketKeepalive.

Parameters
intervalSec int: The target interval in seconds between keepalive packet transmissions. The interval should be between 10 seconds and 3600 seconds, otherwise ERROR_INVALID_INTERVAL will be returned. Value is between MIN_INTERVAL_SEC and MAX_INTERVAL_SEC inclusive

stop

public final void stop ()

Requests that keepalive be stopped. The application must wait for Callback#onStopped before using the object. See SocketKeepalive.
