How To Receive Urban Airship Apid From Android Device_Token?

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

I receive device_token with Corona (in the same way as in the sample"GooglePushNotifications" example). How can I convert it to Urban Airship’s APID? 

 

I tried this code (from one of the posts here):

[lua]

 

 

local function registerUrbanDevice(deviceToken)

    local secretString = mime.b64(APPKEY … “:” … APPLICATIONSECRET)

    headers = {}

    headers[“Authorization”] = "Basic " … secretString

    headers[“Content-Type”] = “application/json”

    body = “”

    local params = {}

    params.headers = headers

    params.body = body

    network.request( “https://go.urbanairship.com/api/device_tokens/” … deviceToken ,  “PUT”, urbanNetworkListener,  params)

end

 

[/lua]

 

 

But I receive the Urban Airship response “bad request”.

#2 
local function registerUrbanDevice(deviceToken) local secretString = mime.b64(APPKEY .. ":" .. APPLICATIONSECRET) headers = {} headers["Authorization"] = "Basic " .. secretString body = "" local params = {} params.headers = headers params.body = body network.request( "https://go.urbanairship.com/api/device\_tokens/" .. deviceToken, "PUT", function(event) if (event.isError) then --You have an error else --everything is fine end end, params) end

@cbishop thanks, i tried to copy your  function, but i still have the same issue: 

i receive event.response = Can’t understand that content-type!

when i add the  s[“Content-Type”] = “application/json”, i receive event.response = Bad Request

Tatiana did you ever resolve this? I’m getting Bad Request and basically using same code as you.

Add this instead:

headers["Content-Type"] = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"

chevol: Do you have Urban Airship device ID registration working for Android  in Corona?

@jonjonsson I received answer from Urban Airship that we can’t generate Urban Android token w/o native Urban SDK (it is possible to generate the token only for iPhone). Maybe you can try with Corona Enterprise to use Urban’s SDK for Android token generation ( I can’t say something detailed about, I am only Pro Corona user).

#10

OK that’s final then, I think chevol might be talking about iOS above.

I’m a pro subscriber as well and I don’t have native Android programming experience as well. So I don’t think I’m the right guy for the job :slight_smile:

#11

Yup, I’m working on iOS side of things. Eventually I need to work on Android too but for now just iOS.

#12

jonjonsson - great catch with the Content-Type issue - finally, Urban Airship is working!!!

#13

Hey, that was me lol. Anyways, crussell are you using it on Android or iPhone?
