Design
(no implementation code please - only external design and application code!)
Requirement 1: Buffering of inbound messages when app is not running
The MQTT Android service to receive messages while the app is not running.
Questions: when are these messages delivered to the application? How does the app reestablish its connection to the service to get the messages?
Requirement 2: automatic reconnection
The application does not have to reconnect itself.
Using Android notifications to recognize when the network is available again.
Automatic reconnect can be configured, and turned off.
Requirement 3: allow Android notifications for incoming messages when app is not running
So that the user can start the application?
Requirement 4: buffering of outbound messages when the connection is not available
Can make use of this function embedded in the Java client (when it is).
