GCM -Corona Integration Not working on Emulator

#1

Hi

I tried sample app notifications/GooglePush.

It works fine on device.

But doesnt work on corona emulator(All devices tried).

To start with notification listener gets no response at the app start.

Am I missing something here?

I am using Corona basic(free) version (2013.1202)

Not missing anything :slight_smile: Notifications can not be tested in the Corona simulator.

#3

So is there any alternate push service that can be run on corona simulator too?

#4

is there any other faster method to implement push service in my app.

Current cycle:

1.Code

2.Generate APK(5-6 mins)

3.Transfer to Device

4.Install on Device

5.Check in android monitor logs

Am i the only one who finds this abnormal for development?

#5

There are many things that can only be tested on device - iap, etc.

#6

adb install -r /Path/To/apkFile.apk

This will at least get rid of having to transfer the file to your Android device.

#7

thanks guys.

I continued development with gcm.

I have 2 doubts:

  1. Every time there is a push from server, there’s a notification in the status bar, any way to remove it?

  2. Am unable to insert data in custom tag of the server data, temporarily using alert tag for that.

Same mentioned here in detail: http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/46948-corona-gcm-client/

Any idea, what to do?
