wich nodes are connected ones?

[frantsch]

I have a technical question about the Meshtastic app (Android, 2.5.21):
The notification (teardown) of the app indicates: "Connected: x of y online."
Where/how within the app can I explicitly see which nodes are currently effectively connected?
In other words: How am I to recognize, if a node at the moment is connected or not?

The logic right now is that a node is considered "online" if you last heard from it less than 2 hours ago:

    /**
     * true if the device was heard from recently
     */
    val isOnline: Boolean
        get() {
            val now = System.currentTimeMillis() / 1000
            val timeout = 2 * 60 * 60
            return (now - lastHeard <= timeout)
        }

If you open the Users tab it should sort by last heard by default, so the top nodes in the list with a last heard time of < 2h will be these online nodes.

many thanks for shedding light on this matter, @jsoberg !
