All five connect paths opened a socket, completed the TCP/RFCOMM handshake,
and only afterwards stored it in a field. Any exception in between leaked the
socket: the catch block just flipped a boolean, and disconnect() can only close
what already reached the fields.
Leak windows (statements that can throw after the handshake succeeded):
AprsIsClient.connect soTimeout / tcpNoDelay / getOutputStream / getInputStream
Ic705Controller.connect outputStream / inputStream / sendAndWaitAck
Ft817Controller.connect outputStream / inputStream
BluetoothReporter x2 outputStream
AprsIsClient is the worst case because AprsReporter retries on a timer
(intervalMin, minimum 1 minute) and nulls out the client after each failure,
so every failed attempt permanently loses one fd:
failure rate leaked fds/hour time to exhaust 1024 fds
5% 3.0 ~14.2 days
20% 12.0 ~3.6 days
50% 30.0 ~1.4 days
100% 60.0 ~17 hours
Typical trigger is a weak link where the TCP handshake succeeds but the peer
immediately RSTs (overloaded or rate-limiting APRS-IS server). Once fds run out
nothing in the process can open a socket or file any more: TLE updates, AMSAT
status and WaveLog uploads all start failing with no obvious cause.
Each path now keeps a local reference to the socket it opened and closes it in
the catch block, also clearing the stream/socket fields so a half-initialised
connection is not mistaken for a live one.
Verified: :core:data:compileReleaseKotlin BUILD SUCCESSFUL; grep confirms all
five close calls are present.
Look4Sat: Satellite tracker
Radio satellite tracker and pass predictor for Android, inspired by Gpredict
Track satellite passes with ease!
Thanks to Celestrak and SatNOGS you have access to over 9000 active satellites.
You can search the entire database by NORAD Catalog Number or the satellite's name.
Orbital positions and passes are calculated relative to your location.
To get reliable data make sure to set the station position via the app Settings.
The application is built using Kotlin, Coroutines, Jetpack Compose and Navigation.
It is now and always will be completely ad-free and open-source.
Main features:
- Predicting satellite positions and passes for up to 10 days
- Showing the list of currently active and upcoming satellite passes
- Showing the active pass progress, polar trajectory and transceivers info
- Showing the satellite positional data, footprint and ground track on the map
- Custom TLE satellite data import is available via Three Line Element .txt files
- Offline first: calculations are made offline. Weekly TLE data update is recommended.
