[TIMOB-1919] Android: Support push notifications

Don, I have an Android push module written and lightly tested and would be willing to give you guys the code if that'd help you create an officially-supported module quicker; let me know if you're interested.

@Matthew I think there is going to be a module in the marketplace for Urban Airship. We have enough features left for 1.5 that I don't think we're going to get any more modules done before Q1. Would you have any interest in adding yours to the market when it ships?

Possibly; we don't have resources to support it beyond our needs though so someone else will likely need to take over support for it.

@matt, I'd be interested in taking over support for it if you guys will post it. Most of my upcoming projects require C2DM, and installing a 3rd party app like urban airship isnt kosher with my clients.

Would it be acceptable if I released the code under LGPL?

Please do! :)

My application that I'd like to implement will involve a heavy use of push notifications, so I could get a good amount of testing done for anyone interested.

I'm really interested in this. Can you explain please how you're doing a push in this instance, as the application would surely have to be inactive - so is the push a secondary application running in the background, low memory footprint? Can you explain further please. Is it true push?

Chris: I'm going to try to get the code out soon; sometime between tomorrow and the end of the month :p

Peter: True push: http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html">http://code.google.com/android/c2dm/index.html

Matthew, do you have twitter or somewhere I can follow the progress?

How about GitHub? :)

I haven't done any development on it for a few weeks so it may be broken with the latest 1.5.0 build, but changes should be minor. You'll definitely want to update build.properties to the paths in your local environment though. Feel free to change the package name from com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm to something else. Instructions on how to build and test the module can be found here: http://developer.appcelerator.com/doc/mobile/android/module_sdk">http://developer.appcelerator.com/doc/mobile/android/module_sdk

Looks good! I'll see what I can do about implementing this sometime this week and give you some feedback. Thanks for your contribution!

Looking forward to using C2DM in Titanium in current and future apps.

Attempting to build this module. I've changed build.properties to reflect my environment. When I try to build with ant, or with Eclipse, I get the following error:

/Library/Application Support/Titanium/mobilesdk/osx/1.5.0/module/android/build.xml:10: java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: Bad version number in .class file

Maybe something to do with Java version?

$ javac -version javac 1.6.0_22
$ java -version java version "1.6.0_22"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_22-b04-307-9M3263)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 17.1-b03-307, mixed mode)

Eclipse is set to use 1.5

Line 10 of that build.xml is:

    <taskdef classname="org.appcelerator.titanium.ant.StringTask" name="ti.string" classpath="${ti.module.support.dir}/android/ant-tasks.jar"/>
    

Does anyone have a pre-built zip of this module (if that would help), or any suggestions?

Just a follow up. I'm now able to build titanium-c2dm in Eclipse if I tell Eclipse to use Java 1.6
