Description

Gibberbot should have an option to stay signed in. I keep getting logged out after leaving the app in the background...

[n8fr8]

there are multiple layers to this
as Smack itself as a try reconnect feature
which i think relates to socket level timeouts, etc
but then we can also automatically resign in
if we detect the network goes off, or the session ends
AND the user has a saved apssword

[n8fr8]

basic user stories that should validate.. .this is a case where the user has saved their password, as well.

"i am logged in, go into the subway (no network), and come back out again, and i should still be logged in".

"i want to be always connected and available for chat no matter how many times my network goes up or down"

"just because i have gibberbot in the background, doesn't mean it can be killed. it needs to be connected no matter what"

I look forward to not having to constantly check if I'm connected or not.

I don't think this issue is related to the network connection breaking - I think it's more a UI issue.
Using Gibberbot-0.0.4-RC2-20110506a.apk I find I'm unable to get back to the 'logged-in-instance' of Gibberbot from the Android Launcher, even though my connection to the server is still active. If I receive a message via XMPP, a notification appears which I can tap to get to the chat window. However, if I try to open Gibberbot from the Launcher I frequently get taken to the 'Get Started' window.

0.0.5-RC1 addresses this now. Please test, and reopen this issue if there are still problems.
