GCM Push Client is an Android library that allows receiving Push Messages, without dealing with the hassle of making your Receiver, GCM Registration Service and all of that fun stuff.
Using GCM Push Client is very simple. You can import GCM Push Client on your build.gradle file (using jCenter or Maven Central):
// Remember to add your GCM Play Services dependency!
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.4.0'
compile 'com.devsu:pushclient:1.1.0'
Then, initialize the library on your Application, and that's it!
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, "MY_GCM_ID");
}
}Customize your client's behavior when retrieving your GCM registration ID.
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, "MY_GCM_ID", new InitCallback() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(String registrationId, boolean hasBeenUpdated) {
Log.i(TAG, "This is my registrationId: " + registrationId);
}
@Override
public void onError(Throwable throwable) {
Log.e(TAG, "An error occurred :(");
}
});
}
}Using the delegation pattern, GCM Push Client is easy to customize. Simply create your own class that implements PushDelegate, or change the default settings on SimpleNotificationDelegate.
Create your own Delegate Class:
public class ToastDelegate implements PushDelegate {
private String mMessageKey;
private Context mContext;
public ToastDelegate(Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
}
...
@Override
public void handleNotification(Context context, Bundle extras) {
String message = extras.getString(mMessageKey, null);
if (message == null) {
return;
}
Toast.makeText(mContext, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}Initialize it!
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, "MY_GCM_ID", new ToastDelegate(this));
}
}You can change every aspect of your Push Notification!
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, "MY_GCM_ID");
SimpleNotificationDelegate delegate = (SimpleNotificationDelegate) PushClient.getDelegate();
// Change the large icon
delegate.setLargeIconDrawableResId(R.drawable.ic_icon_large);
// Change the small icon
delegate.setSmallIconDrawableResId(R.drawable.ic_icon_small);
// Change the Activity that opens on Notification click
delegate.setDefaultActivity(MainActivity.class);
// Change title and message keys
delegate.setTitleKey("TITLE_KEY");
delegate.setMessageKey("MESSAGE_KEY");
// Change the vibration pattern
delegate.setVibrationPattern(new long[] {0, 500, 200, 1000});
// AND MUCH MORE!
}
