JarCastingAndroid_Pusher
This code provides a simple implementation allowing for an Android 1.6+ app to receive realtime events from http://pusher.com
This project makes use of a slightly modified Weberknect, available at http://v.google.com/p/weberknecht/
Special thanks to http://natronbaxter.com/ and http://mokasocial.com for giving me the opportunity to write and open source this!

To get started receiving events from your Pusher account:
- Clone this repository locally
- Sign up for an account at http://pusher.com
- Download Eclipse and the Android SDK from http://developer.android.com/sdk/index.html
- Open the project in Eclipse (Using File > New Project > From Existing Source)
- Open PusherSampleActivity.java, and find the constants PUSHER_APP_KEY and PUSHER_CHANNEL_1
- Change these constants to your assigned Pusher app key and your first channel.
- Run the application on a device or emulator, and send messages from your Pusher console.
- To add more channels, duplicate the existing code that handles inbound.
- To handle multiple event types, modify the Activity's mHandler.handleMessage() function, checking the "type" string of the incoming event.
Quick Example of the new API:
Pusher pusher = new Pusher( "pusher_key" );
final Channel channel = pusher.subscribe( "chat-channel" );
channel.bind( "new_message" , new PusherCallback() {
public void onEvent(JSONObject eventData) {
Log.d( "Pusher", "Received " + eventData.toString() + " for event 'new_message' on channel " + channel.name );
myTextField.setText( eventData.getString("content") );
}
});
you can bind to any event of a channel as long as you are subscribed to it:
channel.bindAll(new PusherCallback() {
public void onEvent(String eventName, JSONObject eventData) {
Log.d( "Pusher", "Received " + eventData.toString() + " for event '" + eventName +"' on channel " + channel.name );
}
});
bind() and bindAll() also work on the pusher instance, in order to retrieve events from all channels
pusher.bindAll(new PusherCallback() {
public void onEvent(String eventName, JSONObject eventData) {
Log.d( "Pusher", "I will show up on any event on any subscribed channel" );
}
});
