I am referring this link to implement push sharp in android,
https://github.com/Redth/PushSharp#monotouch-and-mono-for-android-client-application-integration
But given code is in .cs,
So please suggest how to use this library in android,share any kind of documentation regarding this.
Thanks in advance.
Well, the link you supplied suggests that this library works with MonoTouch and Mono for Android. I'm not familiar with those, but you don't have to use them for your client side (even if you use PushSharp in your server).
You can simply use the code samples in the GCM developer guide (which are all in Java).

I've been through the SODA Android SDK's GitHub page, and README.
Is there more developer documentation or is this it? If this is it, is it common to find light-touch documentation like this? and is this is recommended to read the actual source code to understand what's possible?
The soda-android library is actually pretty old at this point, and I'd recommend instead just building a simple client using the Retrofit library on our RESTful API. I've heard great feedback about using that library with our API.
I am trying to create a messaging app and want to use any existing messaging library for doing so. I found Jsqmessagesiviewcontroller library for IOS which is open source and is pretty easy to use. However, I am not able to find any similar library for Android. Does anyone knows about any messaging library present for android is open source and can be easily modified and customized for different use cases?
NOTE: I have found, https://github.com/guardianproject/ChatSecureAndroid, which looks promising but would like to know if there more options to consider.
Thanks in Advance.
We're just released JSQMessagesViewController-like library to create UI for chats. Check it out on GitHub:

Ok, found another project:
https://atlas.layer.com/android
It's 100% OpenSource
Look this article :

And this site:

I have an android app, and I would like to allow my users to chat with each other.
Searching google, I found a tutorial on android socket programming, but it looks quite complicated and requires me to take care of the server side too.
Is there an easier solution that doesn't require me to basically write it all myself?
I would suggest using one of the free SDK like Scringo (www.scringo.com).
It is very easy to add - basically all you need is to call
Scringo.init(this);
at the end of your Activity's onCreate() method.
No need for server side programming at all.
Here's a screenshot of Scringo in action:
i would suggest using a WebView and using a node.js / now.js chat!
It's very simple to setup!
Another viable solution is to check xmpp protocol and asmack library . I gave it a try a while ago and managed to make it work with gtalk. You can also setup an xmpp server by yourself using their openfire server.
Still better than reinvent the wheel.
I need to implement for exam simple chat ( android and ios app ). I need advice based on your own experience what to use, RabbitMQ or ActiveMQ or something else to implement on both platforms on easy way ? Any advice is welcome.
ActiveMQ also works, you just have to include the core library in your Android project.
RabbitMQ works with Android.
See for example: http://simonwdixon.wordpress.com/2011/06/03/getting-started-with-rabbitmq-on-android-part-1/
I also recommend using Google to find more examples, and checking on the rabbitmq-discuss mailing list.
I am very new to android environment and have to set up client side using the (wmqtt.jar) sample application given on http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?
I know only about hello world program.
Kindly tell how can I integrate it in my simple android application, step by step.
Thanks and Regards.
There is a good example and run through at http://dalelane.co.uk/blog/?p=1599
I'd also point out that you might be better off with the recently released open source Java client. You can find it at http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.java.git/ - you should find the licence is much friendlier than for wmqtt.jar.
As Roger says, the best / latest Java client code is that available from the Eclipse Paho project - http://git.eclipse.org/c/paho/org.eclipse.paho.mqtt.java.git/
The IA92 code and wmqtt.jar has a difficult license and does not support some of the latest features like authentication.
In addition, you will find a lot of useful links and information on the mqtt.org wiki http://mqtt.org/wiki/doku.php/mqtt_on_the_android_platform
Very good sample code available at http://mosquitto.org/files/examples/android-mqtt-example.zip. Once you understand how it works, you would be able to move to writing your own code.
