Multik Sila 1.0.22

What's new

• Android: a Multik Sila tile in quick settings. Pull down the notification shade
  and tap the tile to turn the VPN on or off without opening the app. It reconnects
  to the profile and server you used last time. The tile lights up and shows
  "Connected" / "Off" (and "Connecting…" while the tunnel comes up).
• Adding the tile. On Android 13 and newer the app offers it once, after your first
  connection. You can also add it any time in Settings → Startup and automation →
  Quick settings tile. On older Android, open quick settings, tap the pencil and drag
  "Multik Sila" up. New tiles land at the end of the list, so you may want to drag it
  to the first page.
• If the VPN has never been turned on, or Android took the VPN permission away (another
  VPN app was used), the tile opens the app instead.
• Android: the VPN no longer drops some time after a reconnect (also in the replaced
  1.0.21 files).

Already using Multik Sila on Windows? It offers this update on its own.
MultikSila-1.0.22-windows-x64.zip is what it downloads for that — you don't need it.

On Android with 1.0.13 or newer the app offers this update itself; the first time,
Android asks you to allow installing from Multik Sila. On 1.0.12 or older, install this
file by hand once.

Technical details

• SilaTileService (a TileService). The VPN service keeps the last configuration the
  tunnel came up with (last_tunnel.json in the app's private files, next to
  config.json); the tile starts the service with it. Android 13+:
  StatusBarManager.requestAddTileService for the one-time offer and the settings
  button.
• A tile that is already listening gets no new onStartListening from
  requestListeningState, so the service also updates the visible tile directly.
• Checked on an Android 15 emulator with the app in the background and the panel kept
  open: off → on within a second, traffic gets through on the same server; on → off;
  opening the app afterwards shows the right state.
• No changes for Windows in this release.
