my local Parse server is not working - android

I am trying to use Parse on my Windows PC with Android Studio.
I followed some tutorials to install MongoDB, Parse server and Parse dashboard, and all went smooth.
When I open Android Studio, the Parse server initializes, but it doesn't save the data and I don't what went wrong
Here is my manifest code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.parse.starter" >
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<application
android:name=".StarterApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#mipmap/ic_launcher"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme" >
<meta-data
android:name="com.parse.APPLICATION_ID"
android:value="kooora.com100plus" />
<meta-data
android:name="com.parse.CLIENT_KEY"
android:value="kooora.com100plusMasterKey" />
<activity
android:name=".MainActivity"
android:label="#string/app_name" >
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
<category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
</intent-filter>
</activity>
</application>
</manifest>
I changed the key and the client ID as the same ones when I set my Parse Server
And here is the code for the start application Activity:
public class StarterApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
// Enable Local Datastore.
Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
// Add your initialization code here
Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.applicationId("kooora.com100plus")
.clientKey("kooora.com100plusMasterKey")
.server("http://localhost:1337/parse/")
.build()
);
ParseObject gameScore = new ParseObject("GameScore");
gameScore.put("score", 1337);
gameScore.put("playerName", "Sean Plott");
gameScore.put("cheatMode", false);
gameScore.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.i("Parse", "Save Succeeded");
} else {
Log.i("Parse", e.getMessage());
}
}
});
ParseUser.enableAutomaticUser();
ParseACL defaultACL = new ParseACL();
// Optionally enable public read access.
// defaultACL.setPublicReadAccess(true);
ParseACL.setDefaultACL(defaultACL, true);
}
}
After I ran the code, I got Parse: failure!
I don't know what is wrong with my code

.server("http://localhost:1337/parse/")
When you run the code in your app, localhost means "this device" AKA your Android device, not the server.
You need to use the IP address of the server there (which will depend if you are using an emulator or a physical device).

Android Wear sends message to android mobile

You may follow this documentation for Sending and Receiving Messages. You send messages using the MessageApi and attach the following items to the message:
An arbitrary payload (optional)
A path that uniquely identifies the message's action

Android Push Notifications with Parse on Back4App not being received

I've configured Push notifications in Android for an app following all the instructions in:
https://github.com/ParsePlatform/Parse-Server/wiki/Push-Configuring-Clients
https://parseplatform.github.io/docs/android/guide/#push-notifications
But no matter what I do, the mobile phone I'm using can't seem to get any push notifications at all.
The same app is configured to receive the notifications on iOS and works perfectly.
These are the relevant bits in the Manifest:
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="com.xxy.xxy">
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
<permission
android:name="com.xxy.xxy.permission.C2D_MESSAGE"
android:protectionLevel="signature" />
<uses-permission android:name="com.xxy.xxy.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
<application
android:name="com.xxy.xxy.MiXXYApplication"
android:allowBackup="true"
android:icon="#drawable/logoapp"
android:label="#string/app_name"
android:supportsRtl="true"
android:theme="#style/AppTheme">
<service android:name="com.parse.PushService" />
<receiver
android:name="com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver"
android:exported="false">
<intent-filter>
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.RECEIVE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.DELETE" />
<action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.OPEN" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<receiver

<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
<action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
<category android:name="com.xxy.xxy" />
</intent-filter>
</receiver>
<meta-data
android:name="com.parse.push.gcm_sender_id"
android:value="id:123456789012" />
</application>
This is the Application class (with the AppID and Client Key replaced with the current value given by Back4App):
public class MiXXYApplication extends Application {
#Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
Parse.setLogLevel(Parse.LOG_LEVEL_VERBOSE);
Parse.initialize(new Parse.Configuration.Builder(getApplicationContext())
.applicationId("back4App_AppID")
.clientKey("back4App_ClientKey")
.server("https://parseapi.back4app.com/")
.build()
);
}
}
These are the methods I call to register the installation (I can't do it on the Application class because I need the userId, after login)
public void enablePush(final String userId) {
ParseInstallation installation = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation();
installation.put("GCMSenderId", "123456789012");
installation.put("userId", userId);
installation.saveInBackground(new SaveCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.i("push", "ok");
subscribe("");
subscribe(userId);
} else {
Log.i("push", "nok");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
public void subscribe(String channel){
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground(channel, new SaveCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.i("Push", "subscribed");
} else {
Log.i("push", "nok");
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
This is the installation registry on the Parse DB:
ObjectID: l1tkO3YM2r
GCMSenderID: 123456789012
deviceToken: APA91bHeKnj...
localeIdentifier: en-US
badge: (undefined)
parseVersion: 1.13.1
ACL: Public Read + Write
appIdentifier: com.xxy.xxy
appName: appName
deviceType: android
channels: ["","CyTPw5xc4r"]
pushType: gcm
installationId: 8cf9c606-5a0e...
userId: CyTPw5xc4r
In the google developer console, the project number is 123456789012, I've created an API key and added the API key + the project number in the Back4App dashboard's Android Push Notification Settings.
The logcat in verbose mode is showing the following:
09-21 09:29:19.863 10721-10721/com.xxy.xxy V/com.parse.ManifestInfo: Using gcm for push.
09-21 09:29:19.884 10721-10885/com.xxy.xxy V/com.parse.CachedCurrentInstallationController: Successfully deserialized Installation object
09-21 09:29:19.899 10721-10886/com.xxy.xxy V/com.parse.GcmRegistrar: Sending GCM registration intent
09-21 09:29:29.782 10721-11340/com.xxy.xxy V/com.parse.GcmRegistrar: Received deviceToken <APA91bHeKnj...> from GCM.
For what I can tell, everything's good to go, but I'm not getting any notification in my phone.
Is there anything wrong with my setup?
Thanks!
Solved it!
The thing is that, instead of getting the Api key the way all the guides say, you should get it from https://developers.google.com/mobile/add.
It generated another API key and activated the service, and then, it worked.

Parse Notification works on emulator but not working on real device

I am working on Parse notifications..to send notifications to all users...The below code works well on emulator but the real device cannot get notifications....
Heres my code :

ParseACL defaultACL = new ParseACL();
defaultACL.setPublicReadAccess(true);
ParseACL.setDefaultACL(defaultACL, true);
ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
}

You do not have subscription set. If you haven't seen it already please follow the link. Parse Android Push Tutorial
In your Application onCreate:
ParsePush.subscribeInBackground("", new SaveCallback() {
#Override
public void done(ParseException e) {
if (e == null) {
Log.d("com.parse.push", "successfully subscribed to the broadcast channel.");
} else {
Log.e("com.parse.push", "failed to subscribe for push", e);
}
}
});
As you may be creating your own sample app, pay close attention to the Manifest configuration, ensure you have right package names.
As noted in the Parse docs, they use GCM when Play-Services is available, which actual Android device will have. Where as they use persistent connection on devices without play-service ie. your emulator. Hope this helps.

Getting API key for GCM

I'm trying to register my android app with GCM, I followed the instructions in this link in order to obtain an api key, I did what is written in numbers 1-7 but in step 8 I can't find
the Android Key section.
What should I do?
p.s.
When I try to register my device with gcm gcm.register(SENDER_ID) I get error saying service not available, are those to problems connected? or this error is something else? (I didn't write the server part of the application)

registration code: (I used the code from an example Google published)
private void registerInBackground() {
new AsyncTask<Void, Void, String>() {
String str = "";
#Override
protected String doInBackground(Void... params) {
String message = "";
try {
if (gcm == null) {
gcm = GoogleCloudMessaging.getInstance(context);
}
regid = gcm.register(SENDER_ID);
message = "Device registered, registration ID=" + regid;
Log.d("SMARTGAN_PLAY", "register completed");
// send registration id to the server
sendRegistrationIdToServer();
// Persist the regID - no need to register again.
storeRegistrationId(context, regid);
} catch (IOException e) {
message = "Error:" + e.getMessage();
}
str = message;
return message;
}
#Override
protected void onPostExecute(String message) {
childrenTextView.setText(str);
}
}.execute(null, null, null);
}
You don't need an API Key in order to register to GCM. You only need a Sender ID (which is the Project ID of the Google API Project you created for your app). The API Key is only needed in the server side for sending GCM messages to your app.
The reason for getting service not available can be many things. You'll have to post your manifest and client registration code to get more help.
//Subtitute with your own project ID
String SENDER_ID = "46086692976";

Calling webservice asp.net from Android

I am having problems in connecting to a web service I have created.
When I try to call the webservice from my Android Code it doesn't work but when I manually write the request with variables passed in the address bar it works.
Please have a look at the code. I think the problem is with the function that I am calling on pageload, it doesn't work when I call it through Android.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.UI;
using System.Web.UI.WebControls;
using System.Web.Script.Serialization;
using System.Web;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Collections;
namespace MyService
{
public partial class Caller : System.Web.UI.Page
{
//public int a, b;
protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
this.txtBox1.Text = Request.QueryString["Name"];
this.txtBox2.Text = Request.QueryString["Price"];
if (txtBox1.Text != "" && txtBox2.Text != "")
Add(txtBox1.Text, Convert.ToInt32(txtBox2.Text));
}
public void Add(String name, int price)
{
//this.txtBox1.Text = Request.QueryString["Name"];
//this.txtBox2.Text = Request.QueryString["Price"];
SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(util.ConnectionString);
con.Open();
String query = "insert into Cart values ('" + name + "',"+ price +");";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(query, con);
SqlDataReader reader = cmd.ExecuteReader();
reader.Read();
}
}
}
Ok! When I have hosted the website on IIS and type the query in the address bar it works for example 192......../MyAndroid/Caller.aspx?Name=Banana&Price=15
This is working fine but when calling from android its not working.
Here is the android code.
try {
Connectivity c = new Connectivity();
String Name = holder.txtItemName.getText().toString();
int Price = Integer.parseInt((String)holder.txtPrice.getText());
String url="http://192.168.15.2/MyAndroid/Caller.aspx?Name="+Name+"&Price="+Price; //do not use localhost
String response=c.callWebService(url);
} catch (Exception e) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e.printStackTrace();
}
A little help would be appreciated. Thank you!!
