I have simple MQTT subscriber implemented in MqttHelper class that works fine and receives subscriptions. I found that subscriber receives only messages issued after it has has been started. Is it possible somehow ask MQTT subscriber to retrieve all messages issued when it was not started?

package com.kkk.mqtt.helpers;

import android.content.Context;
import android.util.Log;

import org.eclipse.paho.android.service.MqttAndroidClient;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.DisconnectedBufferOptions;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.IMqttActionListener;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.IMqttDeliveryToken;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.IMqttToken;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.MqttCallbackExtended;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.MqttConnectOptions;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.MqttException;
import org.eclipse.paho.client.mqttv3.MqttMessage;

import java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException;

public class MqttHelper {
    public MqttAndroidClient mqttAndroidClient;

    final String serverUri = "tcp://tailor.cloudmqtt.com:16424";

    final String clientId = "ExampleAndroidClient";
    public final String subscriptionTopic = "sensor";

    final String username = "xxx";
    final String password = "yyy";



    public MqttHelper(Context context){
        mqttAndroidClient = new MqttAndroidClient(context, serverUri, clientId);

        mqttAndroidClient.setCallback(new MqttCallbackExtended() {
            @Override
            public void connectComplete(boolean b, String s) {
                Log.w("mqtt", s);
            }

            @Override
            public void connectionLost(Throwable throwable) {

            }

            @Override
            public void messageArrived(String topic, MqttMessage mqttMessage) throws Exception {
                Log.w("Mqtt", mqttMessage.toString());
            }

            @Override
            public void deliveryComplete(IMqttDeliveryToken iMqttDeliveryToken) {

            }
        });
        connect();
    }

    public void setCallback(MqttCallbackExtended callback) {
        mqttAndroidClient.setCallback(callback);
    }


    public void publish(String topic, String info)
    {


        byte[] encodedInfo = new byte[0];
        try {
            encodedInfo = info.getBytes("UTF-8");
            MqttMessage message = new MqttMessage(encodedInfo);
            mqttAndroidClient.publish(topic, message);
            Log.e ("Mqtt", "publish done");
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException | MqttException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
            Log.e ("Mqtt", e.getMessage());
        }catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e ("Mqtt", "general exception "+e.getMessage());
        }

    }

    private void connect(){
        Log.w("Mqtt", "connect start " );
        MqttConnectOptions mqttConnectOptions = new MqttConnectOptions();
        mqttConnectOptions.setAutomaticReconnect(true);
        mqttConnectOptions.setCleanSession(false);
        mqttConnectOptions.setUserName(username);
        mqttConnectOptions.setPassword(password.toCharArray());

        try {

            mqttAndroidClient.connect(mqttConnectOptions, null, new IMqttActionListener()
            {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) {
                    Log.w("Mqtt", "onSuccess " );
                    DisconnectedBufferOptions disconnectedBufferOptions = new DisconnectedBufferOptions();
                    disconnectedBufferOptions.setBufferEnabled(true);
                    disconnectedBufferOptions.setBufferSize(100);
                    disconnectedBufferOptions.setPersistBuffer(false);
                    disconnectedBufferOptions.setDeleteOldestMessages(false);
                    mqttAndroidClient.setBufferOpts(disconnectedBufferOptions);
                    subscribeToTopic();
                    publish(MqttHelper.this.subscriptionTopic,"information");
                }

                @Override
                public void onFailure(IMqttToken asyncActionToken, Throwable exception) {
                    Log.w("Mqtt", "Failed to connect to: " + serverUri + exception.toString());
                }
            });


        } catch (MqttException ex){
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }


    private void subscribeToTopic() {
        try {
            mqttAndroidClient.subscribe(subscriptionTopic, 0, null, new IMqttActionListener() {
                @Override
                public void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) {
                    Log.w("Mqtt","Subscribed!");
                }

                @Override
                public void onFailure(IMqttToken asyncActionToken, Throwable exception) {
                    Log.w("Mqtt", "Subscribed fail!");
                }
            });

        } catch (MqttException ex) {
            System.err.println("Exception whilst subscribing");
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Code that starts MQTT subscriber:

private void startMqtt() {
    mqttHelper = new MqttHelper(getApplicationContext());
    mqttHelper.setCallback(new MqttCallbackExtended()
    {
        @Override
        public void connectComplete(boolean b, String s) {
            Log.w("Mqtt", "Connect complete"+ s );
        }

        @Override
        public void connectionLost(Throwable throwable) {
            Log.w("Mqtt", "Connection lost" );
        }

        @Override
        public void messageArrived(String topic, MqttMessage mqttMessage) throws Exception {
            Log.w("Mqtt", mqttMessage.toString());
            dataReceived.setText(mqttMessage.toString());
        }

        @Override
        public void deliveryComplete(IMqttDeliveryToken iMqttDeliveryToken) {
            Log.w("Mqtt", "Delivery complete" );

        }
    });
    Log.w("Mqtt", "will publish");

  • You are using QOS=0 in your subscribe method. If you want to receive the published messages when subscribe reconnects, use QOS=1 or 2. Please refer to my answer here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/57116316/how-to-get-the-qos-of-a-client-in-hivemq-client/57685694#57685694 – Ghasem Sadeghi Nov 22 '19 at 07:14
  • It depends on both the things, like with what qos message was sent and what client has used while subscription for the topic. – mnp343 Nov 24 '19 at 02:31
