Auto-connect session at startup

Normally Glink displays the Session screen at startup. Use this option if you want to skip the Session screen and instead connect to the first session defined in the Session screen.

Please note that you can reorder the session list by doing a long press at a entry in the session list, and then move the entry by dragging it when a rectangle is shown around the entry.

Auto-reconnect if connection lost

If the host connect is lost for some reason, Glink can try to reconnect the session. You can specify both the number of retries and the time interval between each retry, for example:

 4               Retry four times with a time interval of two seconds
 3*4000          Retry three times with a time interval of four seconds
 3*5000;2*60000  Retry three times with a time interval of five seconds, then retry two times with a time interval of one minute
 

If user disconnects the session, no retry is performed.

Disconnect at lock screen

Never Auto-Lock when connected

When selected, this option disables the Android "sleep" setting when Glink is the active (visible) app and is connected to the host application.

Ignore battery optimization

When selected, Glink will ask for permission to ignore battery optimization. When the device is locked, this will allow Glink to run in the background to try to keep the connection to the host application. This option works for Android 6 Marshmallow and newer versions of Android.
