Android: Test Push Notification Online (Google Cloud Messaging)


Answer :

Found a very easy way to do this.

Open http://phpfiddle.org/

Paste following php script in box. In php script set API_ACCESS_KEY, set device ids separated by coma.

Press F9 or click Run.

Have fun ;)

<?php   // API access key from Google API's Console define( 'API_ACCESS_KEY', 'YOUR-API-ACCESS-KEY-GOES-HERE' );   $registrationIds = array("YOUR DEVICE IDS WILL GO HERE" );  // prep the bundle $msg = array (     'message'       => 'here is a message. message',     'title'         => 'This is a title. title',     'subtitle'      => 'This is a subtitle. subtitle',     'tickerText'    => 'Ticker text here...Ticker text here...Ticker text here',     'vibrate'   => 1,     'sound'     => 1 );  $fields = array (     'registration_ids'  => $registrationIds,     'data'              => $msg );  $headers = array (     'Authorization: key=' . API_ACCESS_KEY,     'Content-Type: application/json' );  $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_URL, 'https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send' ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POST, true ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, $headers ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false ); curl_setopt( $ch,CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, json_encode( $fields ) ); $result = curl_exec($ch ); curl_close( $ch );  echo $result; ?>

For FCM, google url would be: https://fcm.googleapis.com/fcm/send

For FCM v1 google url would be: https://fcm.googleapis.com/v1/projects/YOUR_GOOGLE_CONSOLE_PROJECT_ID/messages:send

Note: While creating API Access Key on google developer console, you have to use 0.0.0.0/0 as ip address. (For testing purpose).

In case of receiving invalid Registration response from GCM server, please cross check the validity of your device token. You may check the validity of your device token using following url:

https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/tokeninfo?access_token=YOUR_DEVICE_TOKEN

Some response codes:

Following is the description of some response codes you may receive from server.

{ "message_id": "XXXX" } - success { "message_id": "XXXX", "registration_id": "XXXX" } - success, device registration id has been changed mainly due to app re-install { "error": "Unavailable" } - Server not available, resend the message { "error": "InvalidRegistration" } - Invalid device registration Id  { "error": "NotRegistered"} - Application was uninstalled from the device

POSTMAN : A google chrome extension

Use postman to send message instead of server. Postman settings are as follows :

Request Type: POST  URL: https://android.googleapis.com/gcm/send  Header   Authorization  : key=your key //Google API KEY   Content-Type : application/json  JSON (raw) : {          "registration_ids":["yours"],   "data": {     "Hello" : "World"   }  }

on success you will get

Response : {   "multicast_id": 6506103988515583000,   "success": 1,   "failure": 0,   "canonical_ids": 0,   "results": [     {       "message_id": "0:1432811719975865%54f79db3f9fd7ecd"     }   ] }

Pushwatch is a free to use online GCM and APNS push notification tester developed by myself in Django/Python as I have found myself in a similar situation while working on multiple projects. It can send both GCM and APNS notifications and also support JSON messages for extra arguments. Following are the links to the testers.

  • GCM Tester
  • APNS Tester

Please let me know if you have any questions or face issues using it.

Converting A String To Int In Groovy

Answer : Use the toInteger() method to convert a String to an Integer , e.g. int value = "99".toInteger() An alternative, which avoids using a deprecated method (see below) is int value = "66" as Integer If you need to check whether the String can be converted before performing the conversion, use String number = "66" if (number.isInteger()) { int value = number as Integer } Deprecation Update In recent versions of Groovy one of the toInteger() methods has been deprecated. The following is taken from org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.StringGroovyMethods in Groovy 2.4.4 /** * Parse a CharSequence into an Integer * * @param self a CharSequence * @return an Integer * @since 1.8.2 */ public static Integer toInteger(CharSequence self) { return Integer.valueOf(self.toString().trim()); } /** * @deprecated Use the CharSequence version * @see #toInteger(CharSequence) */ @Deprecated public static Integer toInteger(String self) { return toInteg

"Cannot Create Cache Directory /home//.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org/, Or Directory Is Not Writable. Proceeding Without Cache"

Answer : if anyone pass through here, this is shorter solution: sudo chown -R $USER $HOME/.composer it seems to me the group information is missing in your command sudo chown -R <user> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org Shoud be sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache/repo/https---packagist.org But to avoid other permission issues, I would rather advise: sudo chown -R <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer/cache (you'll need access to other folders in there) and sudo chown <user>:<group> /home/<user>/.composer To make sure your user has permissions enough on the global composer folder. Mind the missing recursion so the user don't own keys created by root. If you need to find out the group: groups <user>

Android How Can I Convert A String To A Editable

Answer : As you probably found out, Editable is an interface so you cannot call new Editable() . However an Editable is nothing more than a String with Spannables, so use SpannableStringBuilder: Editable editable = new SpannableStringBuilder("Pass a string here"); If you only want to change the Spannables, never the text itself, you can use a basic SpannableString. Use Editable.Factory.getInstance().newEditable(str) From the android documentation: Returns a new SpannedStringBuilder from the specified CharSequence. You can override this to provide a different kind of Spanned.
