It is a heartbeat tick. Kite Ticker sends a 1-byte message to check if the connection is intact. You can ignore that and check the length of incoming tick array length for doing your operations.
I was sending the tokens with a List(String) from one class to another with a casting to List(Long) through a generic method but it did not cause any error at the client as I see the Java client just converts that into json. Anyway, my bad and thanks, I looked at the code once again to cross verify and found that out.
What is the duration for the tick with data to arrive? I dont see any tick with data coming for more than 2 mins or so yet.
Please close it.
