Please help with code to send push to mutliple phones about javapns HOT 13 CLOSED

instead of looping thru each iphone id and naming the device 'iPhone'...

loop thru each iphone id and add it to the pushmanager as a unique device.

Then send all the notifications in one shot.

like:

for device in database
           pushManager.addDevice("iPhone", device.getDeviceToken());
           client=pushManager.getDevice( device.name ); 
end for

pushManager.sendNotification(client, payLoad);

for device in database
           pushManager.removeDevice(device.name);
end for

Hi, 
Thanks for your reply. By looking at the above code skeleton, wouldn't client 
represent the last device in the for loop. Please advise.

I'm assuming device is a row coming back from your database call.

And device.name is unique to that device 
and device.token is the unique token for said device row.

Yes, what you have assumed is correct. I think you did not understand my 
question...

In the below line
pushManager.sendNotification(client, payLoad);

doesn't client represent the last device present in the DB  and so won't the 
notification be sent to only that device.

Please let me know...

I'm very busy at the moment, so please read the wiki, there are examples 
already provided.

The important part, is to only initialize the connection once, send all the 
notifications, then close the connection.

Okay..Thanks. I did change the code as per your code skeleton and as expected 
only the last device returned from the DB got notified. 

I think it is because you have put
 pushManager.sendNotification(client, payLoad);

outside the for loop. I couldn't locate any example on the wiki for sending 
bulk pushes. Please re-examine you suggested code and reply back when you get 
time

Thanks
John

I did not understand the line made in Comment #1
"Then send all the notifications in one shot."

Since you are calling 
pushManager.sendNotification(client, payLoad);

outside the loop. So won't only the device represented in 'client' be notified. 
Please advice

See:
http://code.google.com/p/javapns/wiki/MultipleClientsExample

I have not tested the code, but it should have everything in the right place.

Someone is working on a database connection piece that may streamline this 
process, but I do not know the status at this time.

Thanks. I have implemented your template into my code.

missing line before

pushManager.sendNotification( client, aPayload );
should have:

Device client = pushManager.getDevice(user.getUsername());

example has been updated

Closing issue since example for javapns 1.x has been updated, and because 
javapns 2.0 provides direct support for this.
