• Hi,

  as I spent a couple of hours to get the module working, I'm going to try to post here an exhaustive installation guide :

  • Make sure you have an account configured in your device (event if it's a simulator).
  • Uncompress the IGx89-titanium-c2dm-3b05b8a.zip archive
  • from the resulting directory, copy dist/c2dm.jar and manifest to a folder named modules/android/com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm
  • Copy timodule.xml at your project root.
  • Your project structure now looks like :

  YourProject/
  ...
  ??? i18n
  ?   ??? ...
  ...
  ??? manifest
  ??? modules
  ?   ??? android
  ?       ??? com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm
  ?           ??? c2dm.jar
  ?           ??? manifest
  ...
  ??? tiapp.xml
  ??? timodule.xml
  

  • In timodule.xml replace all occurences of com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm with your project id (for instance com.myapp).
  • In tiapp.xml add the following :

  <android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
          <manifest>
              <permission android:name="[yourprojectid].permission.C2D_MESSAGE" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
              <uses-permission android:name="[yourprojectid].permission.C2D_MESSAGE"/>
  
              <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE"/>
              <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK"/>
              <application>
                  <service android:name="com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm.C2DMReceiver"/>
                  <receiver
                      android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.C2DMBroadcastReceiver" 
                          android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
                      <intent-filter>
                          <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE"/>
                          <category android:name="[yourprojectid]"/>
                      </intent-filter>
                      <intent-filter>
                          <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION"/>
                          <category android:name="[yourprojectid]"/>
                      </intent-filter>
                  </receiver>
              </application>
          </manifest>
      </android>
      <modules>
          <module platform="android" version="0.1">com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm</module>
      </modules>
  

  It's important to use the project id and not another package name : otherwise the module will not be able to register.

  • In your app.js you can use the following as the base (this code has been taken from the example directory of the module)

  var senderId = 'yourid@gmail.com';
  
  var c2dm = require('com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm');
  Ti.API.info("module is => " + c2dm);
  
  Ti.API.info('Registering...');
  c2dm.register(senderId, {
      success:function(e)    {
          Ti.API.info('JS registration success event: ' + e.registrationId);
          // send the registration is to your server
      },
      error:function(e) {
          Ti.API.error("Error during registration: "+e.error);
  
          var message;
          if(e.error == "ACCOUNT_MISSING") {
              message = "No Google account found; you'll need to add one (in Settings/Accounts) in order to activate notifications";
          } else {
              message = "Error during registration: "+e.error
          }
  
          Titanium.UI.createAlertDialog({
              title: 'Push Notification Setup',
              message: message,
              buttonNames: ['OK']
          }).show();
      },
      callback:function(e) // called when a push notification is received
      {
          Ti.API.info('JS message event: ' + JSON.stringify(e.data));
  
          var intent = Ti.Android.createIntent({
              action: Ti.Android.ACTION_MAIN,
              flags: Ti.Android.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK | Ti.Android.FLAG_ACTIVITY_RESET_TASK_IF_NEEDED,
              className: '[yourprojectid][yourProject]Activity',
              packageName: '[yourprojectid]'
          });
          intent.addCategory(Ti.Android.CATEGORY_LAUNCHER);
  
          // This is fairly static: Not much need to be altered here
          var pending = Ti.Android.createPendingIntent({
              activity: Ti.Android.currentActivity,
              intent: intent,
              type: Ti.Android.PENDING_INTENT_FOR_ACTIVITY,
          });
  
          var notification = Ti.Android.createNotification({
              contentIntent: pending,
              contentTitle: 'New message',
              contentText: e.data.message,
              tickerText: "New message"
          });
  
          Ti.Android.NotificationManager.notify(1, notification);
      }
  });
  

  You can find your main activity name by using a ctrl+f -> Activity in the Titanium logs.

  After that it should be working.

• Any news on this?
  Thanks

• Ivan/Lorenzo, I saw you had some luck creating a C2DM module. I've very interested in using your code; are you able to share it?

• Hello, I made the module work with 1.8.0.1. Github: titanium-c2dm

• Applied for an invite - but still waiting to get it from Google. I have a module waiting for Android but can't test it until I get the invite.

• I'm having an issue here guys. Can anyone help? In the 3 callback functions included with c2dm.register() I simply logged a foo to find out if the function was being triggered.

  Turns out that nothing is being logged, so none of the functions are being triggered.

  All I see in the log related to the app is:

  I/TiAPI   (14155): (kroll$1: app://app.js) [97,492] module is => [Ti.C2dm]
  I/TiAPI   (14155): (kroll$1: app://app.js) [0,492] Registering...

  I/TiAnalyticsSvc(14155): (Thread-12) [235,292] Sending 1 analytics events.
  

• I followed the steps, but keep getting the error:

  Wrapped java.lang.Exception: Module file app://com.findlaw.titanium.c2dm.js does not exist (file:///android_assets/Resources/includes/c2dm.js#3)

  any idea what I am doing wrong?

• Titanium 1.8 broke this, but it works using 1.7.5. I suspect that if you can build the module yourself, you can get around the break from 1.8.

• Hi Joonas,

  I finally got the titanium-c2dm module running but the register function seems not work. I neither get error or success. I have reg as c2dm sender by google. Please help!

• Hi!!!

  I tried to use this module and stuck with this error:

  1 error
  

• Nothing yet.

• Please can some one send me complete running project ?

• Hi all, there's a new GCM module in the Marketplace called uPush for Android push messages, got it working with my project today in about 10 minutes, saved me so much time.
