Android Question Problem executing b4a_gcm.bat

[stingrae]

Hi,

I'm going through this tutorial here:

https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ion-gcm-framework-and-tutorial.19226/#content

Everything is going well, except to now I'm trying to call b4a_gcm.bat

When I run it, I get the following error. Has something changed since the tutorial was created?

I tried changing the config.txt file to have this line:

board_url=https://www.b4x.com/android/b4aserver/c2dm_board.php

but that generated this error:

java.lang.RuntimeException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: https://www.b4x.com/android/b4aserver/c2dm_board.php?server_password=9034f3po4gj34&name=stingrae

You should use the b4j app to send pushes.
Or host your own php file on your server.

The link you are using seems to be moved to another location.

Edit to add: It is possible that the gcm.bat is not compatible with Firebase and therefore have been removed.
The php-script was for the old Google Cloud Messaging (GCM)

That's true. You shouldn't use the old GCM based implementation. Use B4X Push Server if you want to work hard for no real reason or use Firebase.

I love this statement
