Custom Push Data

Although an old thread, it might still be relevant.

Did you try to put the data in as follows:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; commands\_json = &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;{ &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; ["data"] =&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;{&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;["alert"] = "test", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;["sound"] = "", &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;["custom"] = { a = "b" }&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;} &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;} &nbsp;

postData = json.encode(commands\_json) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; local params = {} &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; params.headers = headers &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; params.body = postData &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;print("params are "..tostring(params)) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; network.request( "https://api.parse.com/1/push","POST",sendPushListener,params) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

This works for me (finally :).

I could then easily retrieve the table on the receiving end (notificationlistener) in corona like this:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; for k,v in pairs(event.custom) do &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;print("k = "..k.." and v = "..v) &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; end &nbsp;

k would be the key (a) and v returns value “b”

I did put the custom field in the config.lua btw
