# GCM Push Client #

GCM Push Client is an Android library that allows receiving Push Messages, without dealing with the hassle of making your Receiver, GCM Registration Service and all of that fun stuff.

## Overview ###

Using GCM Push Client is very simple. You can import GCM Push Client on your build.gradle file (using jCenter or Maven Central):

```
// Remember to add your GCM Play Services dependency!
compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:11.4.2'

// Or if you're using FCM, import the FCM dependency!
compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:11.4.2'

compile 'com.devsu:pushclient:1.1.2'
```

Add the com.google.gms.google-services plugin, and then, initialize the library on your Application. That's it!

```java
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...

// FCM is selected by default
FirebaseApp.initialize(this);
PushClient.initialize(this, "MY_GCM_ID");

// Or GCM
PushClient.initialize(this, Provider.GCM, "MY_GCM_ID");
}
}
```

## InitCallback ###

Customize your client's behavior when retrieving your GCM registration ID.

```java
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, "MY_GCM_ID", new InitCallback() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(String registrationId, boolean hasBeenUpdated) {
Log.i(TAG, "This is my registrationId: " + registrationId);
}

@Override
public void onError(Throwable throwable) {
Log.e(TAG, "An error occurred :(");
}
});
}
}
```

## Customizing ###

Using the delegation pattern, GCM Push Client is easy to customize. Simply create your own class that implements `PushDelegate`, or change the default settings on `SimpleNotificationDelegate`.

### Custom Delegate ###

Create your own Delegate Class:

```java
public class ToastDelegate implements PushDelegate {

private String mMessageKey;
private Context mContext;

public ToastDelegate(Context context) {
this.mContext = context;
}
...

@Override
public void handleNotification(Context context, Bundle extras) {
String message = extras.getString(mMessageKey, null);
if (message == null) {
return;
}
Toast.makeText(mContext, message, Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
}
}
```

Initialize it!

```java
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, Provider.GCM, "MY_GCM_ID", new ToastDelegate(this));
}
}
```

### Customizing SimpleNotificationDelegate ###

You can change every aspect of your Push Notification!

```java
public class MyApplication extends Application {
@Override
public void onCreate() {
super.onCreate();
...
PushClient.initialize(this, Provider.FCM, "MY_GCM_ID");
SimpleNotificationDelegate delegate = (SimpleNotificationDelegate) PushClient.getDelegate();

// Change the large icon
delegate.setLargeIconDrawableResId(R.drawable.ic_icon_large);

// Change the small icon
delegate.setSmallIconDrawableResId(R.drawable.ic_icon_small);

// Change the Activity that opens on Notification click
delegate.setDefaultActivity(MainActivity.class);

// Change title and message keys
delegate.setTitleKey("TITLE_KEY");
delegate.setMessageKey("MESSAGE_KEY");

// Change the vibration pattern
delegate.setVibrationPattern(new long[] {0, 500, 200, 1000});

// AND MUCH MORE!
}
}
```
