I am working on a application using Socket.IO implemented with 'com.github.nkzawa:socket.io-client:0.5.1'. All works fine but issue is when phone goes to the idle mode or sleep mode, socket is disconnected from server. guide me how i make socket alive while phone goes to sleep.

i tried already using wakelock and use Foreground service to keep my sockt connection alive but not solve the issue.

I want my socket always alive while phone is in sleep mode or not.

  • You can't keep the socket alive forever on a battery-powered mobile device. Doing so would kill the phone's battery so phone browser makers don't allow it as it would only take one poorly behaved app to kill your battery. If you build a native app, you can use the platform's "push" APIs to be able to push data to your app at any time. – jfriend00 Aug 31 '19 at 16:58
