Re: Java (android) socket reconnection

Thank You very much! Honestly.
I started analyze Your code but it is partly to hard for me - I'm newbe in Java and it gives me error on invoking method "getWriter" in line:
Writer w = connector.getWriter()
and further exactly inside this method in line "else if( ! socket.isClosed() )". I'm going fight with this in next hours, and don't give up.

One hour ago I write my code as simple as I can and in one thread - everything to avoid problem with synchronization. Effect on the server is still the same (several connection attempts after starting server when client was waiting for it)
I apologize that I'm putting my code again (I hope in good format) instead try to adapt new one from You immediately, but I want to understand this problem.

                thrd3 = new Thread(new Runnable() {
                    @Override
                    public void run() {
                        Socket sock = null;
                        BufferedWriter out = null;
                        while (true) {
//time to rest for system
                            try {
                                Thread.sleep(1000);
                            } catch (InterruptedException e2) {
                                Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
                            }
//attempt to send data
                            if (sock != null) {
                                try {
                                    out.write("TEST DATA\n");
                                    out.flush();
                                } catch (IOException e) {
//catch the error
                                    // ERROR-----------------------
                                    try {
                                        out.close();
                                        sock.close();
                                        sock = null;
                                    } catch (IOException e1) {
                                        sock = null;
                                        out = null;
                                    }
                                }
                            } else
// if socket is null try to connect again (or firs time)
                            {
                                try {
                                    sock = new Socket();
                                    sock.connect(new InetSocketAddress(address,
                                            5000), 1000);
                                    out = new BufferedWriter(
                                            new OutputStreamWriter(sock
                                                    .getOutputStream()));
                                } catch (IOException e1) {
                                    sock = null;
                                }
                            }
                        }
                    }
                });
                thrd3.start();

Best regards,
