Re: [flexcoders] Detecing AIR Network Timeout - Best Practices

You've got an example in Tour de Flex named detecting user 
presence, it is place in the menu AIR capabilities  coding 
technique.

I don't know if it will serve you but when i read your message i 
remember this demo.

 In the AIR app I’m building, if the user leaves the app running for 
 without interaction, the network times out and the user gets 
 ChannelCall.Failed error when they next attempt to interact with the 
 application.
 
  
 
 What’s the best way to listen for a timeout? On the ChannelSet? Or to 
 keep the network connection alive by periodic requests?

Thanks Alban,

That would work from a 'brute force' type of approach, but doesn't address the 
scenario of the user interacting with an app but not making network calls, and 
then encountering an exception when they attempt a network call and the network 
has timed out.

You could conceivably keep the network connection alive by periodic calls to 
the back end, but then you're using resources without need. I'd prefer to close 
the app when the network times out. Just a question of what event to listen to.
