LiteP2P Android Optimization Guide
This comprehensive guide covers background execution, battery efficiency, and network survivability for Android developers integrating LiteP2P. Covers Android versions 10–15.
This documentation is critical for proper LiteP2P integration on Android. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in connection drops, battery drain, and potential app kills by the OS.
Purpose
LiteP2P is a peer-to-peer networking engine optimized for battery-powered Android devices. Android aggressively restricts background execution, networking, and CPU usage.
This document explains how to integrate LiteP2P correctly so your application is not throttled or killed by the operating system or OEM firmware.
Target Audience
- Android developers integrating LiteP2P
- Teams building P2P applications for mobile
- Developers optimizing for battery and background execution
