Replace APP_PARENT_ACTIVITY with your app's parent activity.
UserLoginTask.TaskListener listener = new UserLoginTask.TaskListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse, Context context) {
// After successful registration with Applozic server the callback will come here
}
@Override
public void onFailure(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse, Exception exception) {
// If any failure in registration the callback will come here
}};
User user = new User();
user.setUserId(userId); //userId it can be any unique user identifier
user.setDisplayName(displayName); //displayName is the name of the user which will be shown in chat messages
user.setEmail(email); //optional
user.setAuthenticationTypeId(User.AuthenticationType.APPLOZIC.getValue()); //User.AuthenticationType.APPLOZIC.getValue() for password verification from Applozic server and User.AuthenticationType.CLIENT.getValue() for access Token verification from your server set access token as password
user.setPassword(""); //optional, leave it blank for testing purpose, read this if you want to add additional security by verifying password from your server https://www.applozic.com/docs/configuration.html#access-token-url
user.setImageLink("");//optional,pass your image link
new UserLoginTask(user, listener, this).execute((Void) null);
If it is a new user, new user account will get created else existing user will be logged in to the application.
Go to Applozic Dashboard, Edit Application. Under Module section, update the GCM Server Key.
Add the below code and pass the FCM registration token:
1. In UserLoginTask "onSuccess" (refer Step 3)
if(MobiComUserPreference.getInstance(context).isRegistered()) {
PushNotificationTask pushNotificationTask = null;
PushNotificationTask.TaskListener listener = new PushNotificationTask.TaskListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse) {
}
@Override
public void onFailure(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse, Exception exception) {
}
};
pushNotificationTask = new PushNotificationTask(registrationToken, listener, mActivity);
pushNotificationTask.execute((Void) null);
}
2. In your FcmInstanceIDListenerService onTokenRefresh() method
if (MobiComUserPreference.getInstance(this).isRegistered()) {
new RegisterUserClientService(this).updatePushNotificationId(registrationToken);
}
Add the following in your FcmListenerService in onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage)
if (MobiComPushReceiver.isMobiComPushNotification(remoteMessage.getData())) {
MobiComPushReceiver.processMessageAsync(this, remoteMessage.getData());
return;
}
If you already have GCM enabled in your app, add the below code and pass the GCM registration token:
1. In UserLoginTask "onSuccess" (refer Step 3)
if(MobiComUserPreference.getInstance(context).isRegistered()) {
PushNotificationTask pushNotificationTask = null;
PushNotificationTask.TaskListener listener = new PushNotificationTask.TaskListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse) {
}
@Override
public void onFailure(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse, Exception exception) {
}
};
pushNotificationTask = new PushNotificationTask(registrationToken, listener, mActivity);
pushNotificationTask.execute((Void) null);
}
2. At the place where you are getting the GCM registration token in your app.
if (MobiComUserPreference.getInstance(this).isRegistered()) {
new RegisterUserClientService(this).updatePushNotificationId(registrationToken);
}
Add the following in your GcmListenerService in onMessageReceived
if(MobiComPushReceiver.isMobiComPushNotification(data)) {
MobiComPushReceiver.processMessageAsync(this, data);
return;
}
To Enable Android Push Notification using Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) visit the Firebase console and create new project, add the google service json to your app, configure the build.gradle files in your app ,finally get server key from project settings and update in
Applozic Dashboard under Edit Application.
Under Module section, update the GCM Server Key.
In case, if you don't have the existing FCM related code, then copy the push notification related files from Applozic sample app to your project from the below github link
Github push notification code link
And add below code in your androidmanifest.xml file
<service android:name="<CLASS_PACKAGE>.FcmListenerService">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
<service android:name="<CLASS_PACKAGE>.FcmInstanceIDListenerService"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT" />
</intent-filter>
</service>
PushNotificationTask pushNotificationTask = null;
PushNotificationTask.TaskListener listener= new PushNotificationTask.TaskListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse) {
}
@Override
public void onFailure(RegistrationResponse registrationResponse, Exception exception) {
}
};
pushNotificationTask = new PushNotificationTask(Applozic.getInstance(context).getDeviceRegistrationId(),listener,context);
pushNotificationTask.execute((Void)null);
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ConversationActivity.class);
startActivity(intent);
For starting individual conversation thread, set "userId" in intent:
Intent intent = new Intent(this, ConversationActivity.class);
intent.putExtra(ConversationUIService.USER_ID, "receiveruserid123");
intent.putExtra(ConversationUIService.DISPLAY_NAME, "Receiver display name"); //put it for displaying the title.
startActivity(intent);
new UserClientService(this).logout();

Trying out the demo app:
Open project in Android Studio to run the sample app in your device. Send messages between multiple devices.
Display name for users: You can either choose to handle display name from your app or have Applozic handle it. From your app's first activity, set the following to disable display name feature: ApplozicClient.getInstance(this).setHandleDisplayName(false); By default, the display name feature is enabled.
