Error build android apps using cordova 3.4 and pushwoosh

Question

First: I used Cordova 3.4 to build android apps, but when I installed PushWoosh to push notification Error build faced me.

1- I installed PushWoosh: cordova plugin add https://github.com/Pushwoosh/pushwoosh-phonegap-3.0-plugin.git 2- PushWoosh code:

    function init() {
        document.addEventListener("deviceready", initPushwoosh, true);

        //rest of the code
    }

    function initPushwoosh()
    {
        var pushNotification = window.plugins.pushNotification;

        //set push notifications handler
        document.addEventListener('push-notification', function(event) {
            var title = event.notification.title;
            var userData = event.notification.userdata;

            if (typeof (userData) !== "undefined") {
                console.warn('user data: ' + JSON.stringify(userData));
            }

            navigator.notification.alert(title);
        });

        //initialize Pushwoosh with projectid: "GOOGLE_PROJECT_ID", appid : "PUSHWOOSH_APP_ID". This will trigger all pending push notifications on start.
        pushNotification.onDeviceReady({projectid: "Google_Project_Number", appid: "ID_Of-PushWoosh"});

        //register for pushes
        pushNotification.registerDevice(
                function(status) {
                    var pushToken = status;
                    console.warn('push token: ' + pushToken);
                },
                function(status) {
                    console.warn(JSON.stringify(['failed to register ', status]));
                }
        );
    }

    </script>

3- when build the project using: cordova build android

cordova build android -d

Second Question: using cordova or php how can I push notification t specific devices installed this apps not broadcast.

Thanks for advanced.

Answer 1

First of all you don't need: com.phonegap.plugins.PushPlugin Yes, also it is a reason for the error as stated above.

If you don't receive notifications follow these simple checks:

1. Make sure you've got Google project id and Pushwoosh app id right
2. Make sure subscribers count have increased in Pushwoosh Control Panel after you register for push notifications.
3. Check status of push notification in "Pushes". It might give some insights if GCM returned an error.
4. Make sure you've got Server Key right in the Pushwoosh App configuration. Sometimes (still have no idea about the pattern) Browser key works instead.
5. Try on 3G as sometimes Wi-Fi (rarely but happens, especially if you have any enterprise firewall) may block push GCM ports.

Pushwoosh team.

Answer 2

I had the same error and the problem was generated because I have installed another plugin before the Pushwoosh one.

Try:

cordova plugin list

and check if you have two Notification plugins:

In this scenario, you should:

1.Remove the platform:

cordova platform rm android (or ios...)

2.Remove the plugin you don't need anymore from the /plugins folder

3.Create the platform again:

cordova platform add android (or ios...)

4.Run on device:

cordova run android

or build:

cordova build android
