9420 WiFi ReConnector

9420 WiFi ReConnector (Your WiFi.... TwentyFourSeven)

After trying numerous "WiFi Keep Alive" apps on Google Play, my "Android Stick" was still out-of-network after a day. So I wrote my own and (so far) it has been "alive" for more than a week now.

Post on Google Play just in case it could be beneficial to the public.
