Scenario 1: Existing applications using single event source in their application

Applications have used single event source over the earlier versions of MobileFirst as it supported push only through event source-based model.

Client

To migrate this in V8.0.0, convert this model to Unicast notification.
  1. Initialize the MFPPush client instance in your application.
    MFPPush push = MFPPush.getInstance();
        		push.initialize(_this);
  2. Implement the interface MFPPushNotificationListener and define onReceive().
    @Override
    public void onReceive(MFPSimplePushNotification message) {
        Log.i("Push Notifications", message.getAlert());
    }
  3. Register the mobile device with the push notification service.
      push.registerDevice(new MFPPushResponseListener<String>(){
                   @Override
                    public void onFailure(MFPPushException arg0) {
                        Log.i("Push Notifications", "Failed to register");
	 }
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(String arg0) {
                       Log.i("Push Notifications", "Registered successfully");

                    }

                });
  4. (Optional) Un-register the mobile device from the push notification service.
     push.unregisterDevice(new MFPPushResponseListener<String>(){
                    @Override
                    public void onFailure(MFPPushException arg0) {
                        Log.i("Push Notifications", "Failed to unregister");

                    }
                    @Override
                    public void onSuccess(String arg0) {
                         Log.i("Push Notifications", "Unregistered successfully");
                    }

                });
  5. Remove WLClient.Push.isPushSupported() (if used) and use push.isPushSupported();.
  6. Remove the following WLClient.Push APIs since there will be no event source to subscribe to and register notification callbacks:
    1. registerEventSourceCallback()
    2. subscribe()
    3. unsubscribe()
    4. isSubscribed()
    5. WLOnReadyToSubscribeListener and WLNotificationListener implementation

Server

Remove the following WL.Server APIs (if used) in your adapter:
  • notifyAllDevices()
  • notifyDevice()
  • notifyDeviceSubscription()
  • createEventSource()
Complete the following steps for every application that was using the same event source:
  1. Set up the credentials by using the MobileFirst Operations Console. See Configuring push notification settings.

    You can also set up the credentials by using Update GCM settings (PUT) REST API, for Android applications or Update APNs settings (PUT) REST API, for iOS applications.

  2. Add the scope push.mobileclient in Scope Elements Mapping.
  3. Create tags to enable push notifications to be sent to subscribers. See Creating tags for push notification.
  4. You can use either of the following methods to send notifications:
