push notifications

[paulalsmith1000]

Evening everyone

Just a quick question, I've been trawling the net for hours looking at push notifications and how to configure them with livecode, but frankly im still confused.

I basically wanted to use it like whats app so 2 way.

If anyone could point me in the right direction, I would be very grateful.

kind regards

Paul

Hi.

Here is some unhelpful advice. Do an "advanced" search in the forums where "push notifications" is limited to the topic title.

Hi dunbarx

Thanks for your reply, I had already done that.

To be more specific, the best information I can find is the seemingly out dated livecode lesson referring to GCM not FCM.

So, I looked more generally at how to set it for android phones, but all the other information talks about downloading the sdk, etc....

Am I right in assuming that because there is a "push sender ID" field in the stand alone settings for livecode, that this bit has already been done?

Kind regards

Paul

Hi paulalsmith1000, just in case you haven't seen it I started with the two useful lessons below (even though the Android one is outdated)

http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/53 ... -with-ios
and

http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/59 ... h-android

I don't do two way communication for now, just server to device but I guess adding some central DB to store the device's TokenIDs will do the trick.

Hope it helps.
