hello i am following the official documentation of android to send the push notification as the old method is deprecated but im facing problem in implementing GCM Client
http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/client.html
the tutorial is written here, scroll down and see
private void registerInBackground()
when i write this function on my app it gives me this error
Syntax error on token "void", @ expected
i have googled it and i know the error now that this method is trying to create a method inside a method but still im confused because it is the official documentation i must have done something wrong, can anybody point out plz? here is the method on this tutorial:
private void registerInBackground() {
new AsyncTask() {
@Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
String msg = "";
try {
if (gcm == null) {
gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(context);
}
regid = gcm.register(SENDER_ID);
msg = "Device registered, registration ID=" + regid;
// You should send the registration ID to your server over HTTP,
// so it can use GCM/HTTP or CCS to send messages to your app.
// The request to your server should be authenticated if your app
// is using accounts.
sendRegistrationIdToBackend();
// For this demo: we don't need to send it because the device
// will send upstream messages to a server that echo back the
// message using the 'from' address in the message.
// Persist the regID - no need to register again.
storeRegistrationId(context, regid);
} catch (IOException ex) {
msg = "Error :" + ex.getMessage();
// If there is an error, don't just keep trying to register.
// Require the user to click a button again, or perform
// exponential back-off.
}
return msg;
}
@Override
protected void onPostExecute(String msg) {
mDisplay.append(msg + "\n");
}
}.execute(null, null, null);
...
/**
* Sends the registration ID to your server over HTTP, so it can use GCM/HTTP
* or CCS to send messages to your app. Not needed for this demo since the
* device sends upstream messages to a server that echoes back the message
* using the 'from' address in the message.
*/
private void sendRegistrationIdToBackend() {
// Your implementation here.
}
}
now see that sendRegistrationIdToBackend is inside a method itself, any help plz?
