GCM Error in pom.xml for Maven Environment(Android Studio)

[rishabja...@gmail.com]

I am beginner to maven and finding it difficult to migrate my project from gradle to Maven. For Push notification code, that I have using from below link in gradle environment is working fine:

https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/android/start

But when I am trying to use it in my Maven and adding the following dependency to my pom.xml file. As suggested by following GITHUB link:

https://github.com/google/gcm/issues/23

Dependency :

<dependency>

        <groupId>com.google.gcm</groupId>

        <artifactId>gcm-server</artifactId>

        <version>1.0.0</version>

 </dependency>

And when I am trying to define receiver in my manifest file, I am getting the error.Not able to import any of the Cloud Messaging API in my code.

<receiver android:name="com.google.android.gms.gcm.GcmReceiver"

                android:exported="true"

                android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND" >

        <intent-filter>

            <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />

            <category android:name="gcm.play.android.samples.com.gcmquickstart" />

        </intent-filter>

 </receiver>

Able to run in Gradle environment successfully but now due to some client requirement I need to migrate my project to Maven. And using the below version for GCM in my Gradle:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'

Please help me to resolve the error.If you need any more clarification, please do let me know. Thanks in Advance. Thanks for the help.

Hi,

if you are referring to the Android client application then the right way to integrate GCM is to use gradle with:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-gcm:8.3.0'

compile 'com.android.support:support-v4:19.1.0'

The Maven package "gcm-server" is a library that you can use in your server (not in the client)
to use the HTTP APIs that are otherwise documented at: https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/

Thanks Diego for your quick response.

Sorry I would have asked that how can I add Android-Client dependency for GCM to my project in my pom.xml file.

In Gradle build file, I am able to run it. That is not an issue.

If you need any more information please let me inform.

Thanks for any help.

I am sorry but I don't think there is an official supported way to add the android client dependency through Maven.

Thanks Diego for all your help. I would be thankful if you can tell me another way around how can I add that GCM dependency to my project in order to build it through Maven.

I have tried to copy Google Play Services Jar file from following path:

C:\Users\rj\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\google\google_play_services\libproject\google-play-services_lib\libs

And adding the Jar in lib folder and in pom.xml file adding local dependency like this:

<dependency>
   <groupId>google-play-services</groupId>
   <artifactId>google-play-services</artifactId>
   <version>1.0.0</version>
   <scope>system</scope>
   <systemPath>${project.basedir}/libs/google-play-services.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>

This things remove my all imports error related to GCM API. But while installing app in my device I am getting the following error and app crash at launch itself:

java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: No virtual method getNoBackupFilesDir(Landroid/content/Context;)Ljava/io/File; in class Landroid/support/v4/content/ContextCompat; or its super classes (declaration of 'android.support.v4.content.ContextCompat' appears in /data/app/com.att.safe-1/base.apk)

                                                                  at android.os.Handler.dispatchMessage(Handler.java:102)

Content of My pom.xml file is attached for your reference.

I am requesting you to please resolve my error as I need to migrate my Android project from Gradle build system to Maven Environment in order to build it through Jenkins(Client Requirement).I have tried to search it but could not find out working solution for my problem.

Thanks For any help.
