Question

I am unable to add user for push notification in my android app:

Below is the snippet of code that was provided in tutorial for Android pus notification

 

                                                                !!!!----code---!!!

String Api_key = "40d69f76415ab92de0a85d9eb5fbd667eb79bd9b7d1b37fc8af56fc2352f002d";

String Secret_key =  "4a990f005383bad9550d1fec202ccde93e6db1257d9cdf5dd1186a55bd3a6a0a";

 

 

@Override

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {

       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

       ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.page_header)).setText("Main Activty");

       App42API.initialize(this,Api_key,Secret_key);

       App42API.setLoggedInUser("hitesh.vinod.jain111@accenture.com") ;

       Util.registerWithApp42("starry-app-723");

       

}

 

                                              !!!-- code ends here --- !!!

 

Where m i going wrong please help...

Was asked to pass on the 4 parameters, API key, Secretkey, LggedInAsUser and Goog project Id

Comments

Hello Hitesh,
 
Please replace your Google Project name with Google Project number in the below function: Util.registerWithApp42("starry-app-723"); and run your project again.

Also put  App42Log.setDebug(true); before Util.registerWithApp42("starry-app-723"); and share the logs details if your device is not registered on App42.

 
Thanks.

Hello Hitesh,

Please copy your project number instead of Project id as shown in the below picture and let us know if it helps:

Himanshu,

Thanks a lot for the quick reply, it did helped :)

After making that change, I was able to register the device and can see the registered device on App42 Cloud.
But when i send push notification from there, it show that the notification was send successfully, but m not getting that on the device.

No error but notification dint came from the server.
I m trying the example that was given in the basic tutorial here


http://api.shephertz.com/tutorial/Push-Notification-Android/

Here i was asked to change only the 4 parameters in mainactivity, (keys, project id and logged in user)

Anything else needs to be changed?

Please help

I changed the GCM keys for "android" again, and it worked :) :)

Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :)

Hello Hitesh,

Great to hear that you are receiving push messages. Please close this thread if you do not have more queries related to this question.

Thanks,

Hi, I get error on this line : Util.registerWithApp42("angular-axle-712");

It says : The method registerWithApp42 is undefined for the type Util.

Can you please help ?

---

Hey, Sample project itself contains Util class and there is a definition of "registerWithApp42" method. So you need to import right Util class in your project, import should be :

"com.example.app42sample.Util"

Thanks
Vishnu

I hope your query has been resolved. Let us know if you need further assistance regarding this.

not really , I am still not able to get a user to register and be visible on App42 dashboard

i followed the steps exactly and the on Create code is as below :

public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
            super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
            setContentView(R.layout.gradelist);      
            
            App42API.initialize(this,"5ee5a4157f44875f3cbaeb51f8ae0b5e8f137f5b9aa9355ad7e96eb4a640dbe5",
                    "22942ed15105338886ed5ab617a7f2c44c100f890cb4079a788fdb0dd7838d51");
            
            App42API.setLoggedInUser("CheriX") ;  
            Util.registerWithApp42("36772734895");


no  errors, no messages to determine where i could be wrong ...

Hey Jingahr, have you followed all the mentioned in ReadME file of sample project.
Will you please share logs of logcat, so I will help you in a better manner.

am trying the sample downloaded and trying to run it now ...
now it crashes with above error.

something wrong with Initialize line in MainActivity :

import com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.android.App42API;

public class MainActivity extends Activity {


    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
        ((TextView) findViewById(R.id.page_header)).setText("Main Activty");
         App42API.initialize(
                    this,

            App42API.setLoggedInUser("someusername") ;
            Util.registerWithApp42("319644419117");

Hey, Have you checked Android Private library and Android dependencies option in your project properties>java build path > order and export section.
As your project logs are indicating error " java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com.shephertz.app42.paas.sdk.android.App42API"

Thanks
Vishnu

Hey, Logs are not pretty much clear, will you please debug your code to trace where it's going wrong. Hope you have modified AndroidManifest.xml file as mentioned in ReadME file.
Or you can share your sample project to trace it out.

Thanks
Vishnu

---

ok , got it working .. .the PUSH messages are coming now on my device ...

my next problem is , when i click open the message, the app crashes ...

what do i do if i just want to start the app up when the message is clicked ?

---

Hey , have you changes the name of Activity in AndroidManifest.xml file.
If you are using App42GCMService.java file of our sample project, you need to make a change here with your own Activity.
 <service android:name="com.example.app42sample.App42GCMService" >
            <meta-data android:name="onMessageOpen" android:value="com.example.app42sample.MessageActivity" />
        </service>

---

Awesome ! Works fine now !

I just set it to com.example.app42sample.MainActivity and my app starts up :)

Thank ...

btw , whats the sound and badge option for ? can i send any sound and badge on Android ?

---

Hey, In Android you can customize your Notification in the same way you want, and also set the custom sound , badges count.
