Is there any new modifications needed in light of newer Paho / MQTT server versions?

First Thanks very much for this code. it helped initiate a push notification service that runs in background even if app stopped. This is exactly what your code does.

I wanted to ask if there is any improvements you think can be done for this code in order to utilize latest features of MQTT server / recent Paho release. If so, would you provide some information as where to start and how to tune the existing code for latest updates. Thanks.

Hello @acrolink,

Thank you for your message! I'm currently unable to update/add more features to this library. Feel free to contribute to the repository, I will review and merge with master if everything checks out!

Best regards, Dirk

Thanks very much. Actually, your work proved valuable as I am learning from it new things in general about app development. As for push notifications, I have set up a MQTT server that I might use in the future for internal location based systems, some sort of closed communications between web apps / Android apps.

The idea behind MQTT is interesting but I am facing one major problem which is lost connections to server. I mean, initially messages are received by my phone but after some time messages don't arrive. It has to do with connections and keep-alives. It might be that I am overseeing something since your code is built to handle reconnecting and pinging etc..

I have also noticed that this behavior changes depending on which WiFi network I use etc.. Anyway, I will keep testing and updating. Thanks.
