I am new to Android development and I had to switch my first project from Eclipse to Android Studio finding library GCMBaseIntentService to be no longer supported. I found GoogleCloudMessaging, but it is not at all evident how to port the implementation I got from tutorial http://www.androidhive.info/2012/10/android-push-notifications-using-google-cloud-messaging-gcm-php-and-mysql/ here also listed, to that. May someone help?
This is the piece of code I need to replace:
package com.example.taxiprofessional;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.NotificationManager;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Context;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.util.Log;
import com.google.android.gcm.GCMBaseIntentService;
import static com.example.taxiprofessional.CommonUtilities.SENDER_ID;
import static com.example.taxiprofessional.CommonUtilities.displayMessage;
public class GCMIntentService extends GCMBaseIntentService {
private static final String TAG = "GCMIntentService";
public GCMIntentService() {
super(SENDER_ID);
}
/**
* Method called on device registered
**/
@Override
protected void onRegistered(Context context, String registrationId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Device registered: regId = " + registrationId);
displayMessage(context, "Your device registred with GCM");
AccountInformation info=AccountInformation.sharedInstance();
ServerUtilities.register(context, info.email, info.password, registrationId);
}
/**
* Method called on device un registred
* */
@Override
protected void onUnregistered(Context context, String registrationId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Device unregistered");
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_unregistered));
ServerUtilities.unregister(context, registrationId);
}
/**
* Method called on Receiving a new message
* */
@Override
protected void onMessage(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received message");
String message = intent.getExtras().getString("price");
displayMessage(context, message);
// notifies user
generateNotification(context, message);
}
/**
* Method called on receiving a deleted message
* */
@Override
protected void onDeletedMessages(Context context, int total) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received deleted messages notification");
String message = getString(R.string.gcm_deleted, total);
displayMessage(context, message);
// notifies user
generateNotification(context, message);
}
/**
* Method called on Error
* */
@Override
public void onError(Context context, String errorId) {
Log.i(TAG, "Received error: " + errorId);
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_error, errorId));
}
@Override
protected boolean onRecoverableError(Context context, String errorId) {
// log message
Log.i(TAG, "Received recoverable error: " + errorId);
displayMessage(context, getString(R.string.gcm_recoverable_error,
errorId));
return super.onRecoverableError(context, errorId);
}
/**
* Issues a notification to inform the user that server has sent a message.
*/
private static void generateNotification(Context context, String message) {
int icon = R.drawable.taxi_profi;
long when = System.currentTimeMillis();
NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager)
context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification notification = new Notification(icon, message, when);
String title = context.getString(R.string.app_name);
Intent notificationIntent = new Intent(context, Dashboard.class);
// set intent so it does not start a new activity
notificationIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP |
Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP);
PendingIntent intent =
PendingIntent.getActivity(context, 0, notificationIntent, 0);
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message, intent);
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
// Play default notification sound
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
// Vibrate if vibrate is enabled
notification.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
notificationManager.notify(0, notification);
}
}
Thanks, Fabrizio
