How to publish only one message using a Java MQTT client using Eclipse Paho


I'm doing a project for my final University work. I want do a android app that comunicates with my raspberry pi using MQTT protocol. To do it I'm using a mosquitto broker, but when I publish message in a broker using the Java MQTT client using Eclipse Paho, my app publish the same message 5 times, and I don't know if the fault is of my class that publish message, or of my class on_create() of android.

My code is the following:

public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity implements    View.OnClickListener {
EditText distanceCondition;
EditText timeCondition;
EditText countCondition;

String distance;
String time;
String count;
String topic;

int notificationID = 1;
int functionality;
int ok = 1;

public void mqttconnect(final String topic, final String message){

    final MqttAndroidClient mqttAndroidClient = new MqttAndroidClient(this.getApplicationContext(), "tcp://192.168.1.36", "androidSampleClient");
    mqttAndroidClient.setCallback(new MqttCallback() {                                      //iot.eclipse.org:1883
        @Override
        public void connectionLost(Throwable cause) {
            System.out.println("Connection was lost!");

        }

        @Override
        public void messageArrived(String topic, MqttMessage message) throws Exception {
            System.out.println("Message Arrived!: " + topic + ": " + new String(message.getPayload()));
            //displayNotification("DETECT MOVEMENT! visit LCESS app now.");
            JSONObject inf = new JSONObject(Arrays.toString(message.getPayload()));
            try {
                if (inf.optString("Functionality").equals(6)) {
                    if (inf.optString("ok").equals(1)) {
                        displayNotification("DETECT MOVEMENT! visit LCESS app now.");
                    }
                }
                if (inf.optString("Functionality").equals(7)) {
                    if (inf.optString("ok").equals(1)) {
                        displayNotification("DETECT MOVEMENT IN" + inf.optString("Distance") + " CM! visit LCESS app now.");
                    }
                }
                if (inf.optString("Functionality").equals(8)) {
                    if (inf.optString("ok").equals(1)) {
                        displayNotification("DETECT MOVEMENT IN" + inf.optString("Time") + " HOURS! visit LCESS app now.");
                    }
                }
                if (inf.optString("Functionality").equals(9)) {
                    if (inf.optString("ok").equals(1)) {
                        displayNotification("DETECT MOVEMENT IN" + inf.optString("Distance") + " CM and in " + inf.optString("Time") + " HOURS! visit LCESS app now.");
                    }
                }
                if (inf.optString("Functionality").equals(10)) {
                    if (inf.optString("ok").equals(1)) {

                    }
                }
            }
            catch (Exception functionality){

            }

        }

        @Override
        public void deliveryComplete(IMqttDeliveryToken token) {
            System.out.println("Delivery Complete!");
        }
    });

    try {
        mqttAndroidClient.connect(null, new IMqttActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void onSuccess(IMqttToken asyncActionToken) {
                System.out.println("Connection Success!");

First, I created the Mqtt class to publish and subscribe to the topic, After, the class to publish the message that I need in JSON format.

The next class I use it to display a notification. And finally, onCreate() and onClick classes where I declared my buttons, edittext... And where I put the conditions to publish a message. More concretly, when push a button, I publish a message in a topic with JSON format.

The App run well. But the question is: How I can publish ONLY one message in a broker?

In the following picture you can see how publish 5 message when I press the button. In red you can see the message published 5 or 6 times


Solution

  • I resolved the problem. In this case how I build a function to connect with the broker, each time that I click some buttom I publish and subscribe again to the topic. and only I have to subscribe one time. The solution is connect to the broken and subscribe to the topic, only one time, thus we implement the same code but in onCreate() method.
