Amazon Device Messaging

Please can we have a solution for B4A to use Amazon Device Messaging :) Amazon Device Messaging I am happy to donate to this development if necessary John

www.b4x.com

I am developing a wrapper for AmazonDeviceMessaging (ADM) and i would like to ask for help from you if you are using Aamazon Devices and want to test the library.

Q: On which Amazon devices is ADM supported?
ADM is supported on Fire phone, Fire TV, and Fire tablets, except for Kindle Fire (1st Generation). For ADM notifications to appear on Fire TV, you must implement the Fire TV Notifications.

The library is not finished as of now. I need comments (bugreports, logs) from someone who uses it on a Amazondevice

To use it you need to register your app on Amazons console.

After you Obtain Credentials to use Amazon Device Messaging (ADM) and set it up in your development environment, integrate ADM with your app. See Overview of ADM for a high-level overview of the process of adopting ADM in your app and server code.

You need to place your apikey in the api_key.txt file in the assets in your project.
Maybe you need to use

#DebuggerForceStandardAssets: true

in your project.

Please note the Manifestchanges in the Example. Also note the additional Service which name must be AmazonMessaging.

Ok, here we go.
Note that i do expect it to crash on the firestick at some point

Basically it is this code in the "AmazonMessaging" Service (adapted from FirebaseMessaging ;-) )

Public Sub Register
    If adm.IS_ADM_AVAILABLE Then
        If adm.IS_ADM_V2 Then
            Log("ADM V2 supported on this Device!")
        Else
            Log("ADM supported on this Device!")
        End If
        StartRegisster
    Else
        Log("ADM not supported on this Device!")
    End If
End Sub
private Sub StartRegisster()
    If adm.Supported Then
        Log("ADM 2nd check: ADM supported on this Device!")
        If adm.RegistrationId = Null Then
            adm.startRegister ' At latest i expect it to crash here if we came such far
        Else
            Log($"RegistrationId = ${adm.RegistrationId}"$)
        End If
    End If
End Sub

I do expect it to crash at the startRegister if we came so far...

Note the resources added in the manifest.

CreateResource(values, strings.xml,
<resources>
    <string name="app_name">ADMMessenger</string>
    <string name="menu_settings">Settings</string>
    <string name="title_activity_main">MainActivity</string>
    <string name="json_data_msg_key">message</string>
    <string name="json_data_time_key">timeStamp</string>
    <string name="json_data_consolidation_key">collapse_key</string>
    <string name="intent_msg_action">com.amazon.sample.admmessenger.ON_MESSAGE</string>
    <string name="intent_msg_category">com.amazon.sample.admmessenger.MSG_CATEGORY</string>
    <string name="server_address">http://webhook.basic4android.de/</string>
    <string name="server_port">80</string>
</resources>)

for your test you can leave this settings so - hopefully - i do get something logged on this website (it´s mine).

For the real usecase you should replace it with your own server. This is the website which do get any new user-token to be able to track them and - later - send a message to this device.

Hopefully you get some error or other things in the LOG. Good luck

Also note that the library is not finished as of now. I need to get some errorreports and logs to see more.
