Hi all.

I can find two mqtt clients that can use on android platform,
one is Paho Android Service and the other is Paho Java Client.
I tryed to use both of them and could execute correctly.

So, I have a question. What is the difference of them?
Which should I use on android?

Regards,
Taiga

Hi Taiga,

The Android Service is a wrapper around the Java Client. The idea is that whilst some developers may choose to add the Java client into their Android app themselves, others may want something that is a bit more 'plug and play' with the Android SDK.

The Android service has a number of useful features in it that are specially for Android apps, these include: An android specific ping sender implementation that uses less CPU time and so uses less battery and an Android Service structure that uses Broadcast messages to communicate with the main UI thread.

It's all a matter of preference, If you prefer using the Java client that's fine, the Android service is mostly there to reduce lots of developers having to write the same code every time.

Hi James,

Thank you for your reply. I understood the difference.
I use the Java client because I need to use blocking APIs on the android application.

Thanks,
Taiga
