Bug ID: 393840
Summary: KDE Connect connection lost when the Android app is
swiped off in Recent App list
Product: kdeconnect
Version: 1.8
Platform: Debian stable
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: android-application
Assignee: albertv...@gmail.com
Reporter: shanmukhat...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
The KDE Connect Android app and the desktop application stay connected as long
as the Android app is open or remains in the background (like say, tapping the
circle while the app is open)
However, the connection is lost if the app is cleared from Recent app list
(long press the square and swipe the KDE Connect app)
For people like me who often clear the Recent app list, I find myself having to
constantly open the KDE Connect app on my Android phone.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Launch the KDE Connect app on Android phone.
2. Pair the device to computer
3. Clear the app from the "Recent App" list.
Actual Result:
The network connection between the Android app and the paired computer is
severed as soon as the app is swiped off Recent List.
Proposed Result:
The network connection remains connected even after the app is swiped off from
the "Recents" list.
I would very much like to contribute to resolving this issue on the KDE Android
app. I propose two viable solutions to resolve this issue:
1. We can override onTaskRemoved method on org.kde.kdeconnect.BackgroundService
class to restart the network connectivity.
2. Create a Foreground service which stays on the Notifications as soon as the
Android app is launched. We can set this Notification priority to
NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_LOW to "keep it low" for the user.
