Fix connection closed on pause

[ksubileau]

Hi,

I suggest you add these two lines of code to avoid closing the ssh connection every time the application loses focus.

In my case, I used your application to test a Python code using the USB host mode API. The use of this API requires the permission of the user, so Android displays a dialog box to ask for it. And when this dialog box appears, the application is paused and this causes the connection reset.

Questions:

1. This still freezes the shell if I click the Home button, right?

2. Is possible to change it to a service-based version, so I could switch out and still do something on the terminal? (lets say, makeToast while in android Home screen ?)

[ksubileau]

1. Yes, the shell is frozen, but the connection is kept alive instead of being killed,
2. Yes it would be ideal, but at first this quick fix avoids having to reconect all the time.

Agree. Just trying to save some work if you answer "1) No. it does not freeze anymore!"

:)

I was planning to create a service-based version before saw this PR

Guessing it the tornado-reactor would work on the service-based one...

It already uses twisted, so it may make sense to stick with that.

Oops. I meant tornado-reactor

Oops again. I meant twisted-reactor

Update: I managed to create a service-based version, but it does not runs the service if using the Launcher APK for now (see: kivy/python-for-android#192).

But it works if using own APK. Will test a bit more before issuing a PR here.

The service-based version is on #3. Anyway, I think this one (#1) should be accepted, as the service-based have no access to the mActivity :(

I am confused. This got merged or not?
