Hi 👋

Let me take a look at that.

Hi there!

#

Awesome! Thanks!

The Connection Token is used to authenticate the Android POS with the reader. If the token is expired it will trigger the TokenProvider to retrieve a new one.

#

So you are disconnected briefly but if properly implemented the recovery should be graceful and not noticeable.

#

Oh gotcha! So if disconnected - I should probably handle it the same I would handle onUnexpectedDisconnect where I could reconnect to it?

#

Do I need to go through the find all available readers step or is that not necessary during this circumstance?

#

And the circumstance where onUnexpectedDisconnect? I imagine the latter is not necessary

#

Exactly, it should gracefully handle brief disconnections without requiring the reader discovery process

#

Sorry for the dumb question haha, but by it do you mean the code from Stripe or my implementation?

#

^code built into the reader

If you have set up the Connection Token provider
https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/setup-integration?terminal-sdk-platform=android#connection-token
and initialized the SDK to with it
https://stripe.com/docs/terminal/payments/setup-integration?terminal-sdk-platform=android#initialize
then the SDK should handle this for you

#

I could just check the connection status during those instances - and if it's not connected but I have a reader they've picked I could reconnect to it

#

Awesome! This is perfect!

#

Thanks for your help!!
