Not an airship user, but... How about just keeping a network connection to your server open, with the server sending down events as they occur?
The device can then avoid polling and go to sleep, and will be waken up when new data arrives. You'd need some sort of keep alive logic, gracefully restart when network connectivity changes, and most likely make it look like an http exchange (or an IMAP IDLE session) to make firewalls and NATs happy. Um, I think that's how c2dm works, more our less, or at least the Google Talk part on the device... Except they call events "tickets"... 22.12.2011 3:01 пользователь "John Coryat" <[email protected]> написал: > Any users of Urban Airship around here? > > It looks promising but what's the catch (besides cost)? > > What's the mechanism behind this system? > > -John Coryat > > -- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google > Groups "Android Developers" group. > To post to this group, send email to [email protected] > To unsubscribe from this group, send email to > [email protected] > For more options, visit this group at > http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers?hl=en -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
