Question

Registration from device (android phone running 2.2) is not working.

In one emulator im getting the registration id and if i try with another emulator(Google API version:8,same as the first).Im getting this warning. How to handle it.

LogCat shows the following warning –

07-27 11:54:23.621: WARN/ActivityManager(73): Unable to start service Intent { act=com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER pkg=com.google.android.gsf (has extras) }: not found

I used the vogella site for the implementation of the C2DM. Its sometimes works n sometimes doesn’t. Why?

Thanks.

Answer 1

Inorder to c2dm to work:
1.Device must be running Android 2.2 or higher.
2.Market application has to be installed on the device(necessary for a real device but not necessary for the emulator.)
3.Users must be signed in with his google account.(settings\accounts…).
You should check out the C2DM Framework web site it explains the necessities.

–It requires devices running Android 2.2 or higher that also have the
Market application installed. However, you are not limited to
deploying your applications through Market.

–It uses an existing
connection for Google services. This requires users to set up their
Google account on their mobile devices.

Here is a sample code:

    Intent registrationIntent = new Intent("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER");
    registrationIntent.putExtra("app", PendingIntent.getBroadcast(applicationContext, 0, new Intent(), 0));
    registrationIntent.putExtra("sender",[e-mail]);
    ComponentName name = applicationContext.startService(registrationIntent);
