Designing Long Lived XMPP(TCP) Connections on Android

Submitted Oct 8, 2015

Although for most of the apps rest suffices most of the Messaging apps and real time communication works by maintaining a long lived TCP connection. There are patterns for designing rest api but designing XMPP (or any other long lived TCP connection) is still a mystery. Through this talk I want to bind this gap.

Outline

How can we build a chat (or remote command execution) app without consuming much battery and network. In this talk I am going to talk about that. I am going to talk about the wakelocks and other api to design a app with persistent long running service.

Speaker bio

Currently working on my startup I have worked on Android extensively previously at Amazon and Kiwi. While working on ecommerce and gaming apps I found the knowledge of rest design (and retrofit) to be sufficient. I learned about xmpp in a hard way while working on my current startup and want to share my learning.
