Hi all,
I wrote a short tutorial on how to implement push notifications for your Android app using MQTT.

http://tokudu.com/2010/how-to-implement ... r-android/

There is sample code included and a live demo.

Let me know what you guys think.

It looks promising and the source is really easy to understand.
I will take a closer look and test everything this weekend.
Thanks for your work.. cant wait to test this

-- Edit --
After a while of messing around to get that PHP SAM thing working
i decided to give the mosquitto server a try... and that worked instantly.
After that i just needed to put your server side PhpMQTTClient in my xampp
and install the android app on my G1.. all without any problems.

It workes so far without any problem.. i will keep the service running on my phone
the hole night to check bandwidth usage and will send in a few hours some messages
to check if the service and the connection runs properly.

I just cant wait to put that push functionality into my next projects :]

I'm glad to hear it works for you.

Let me know if you run into any issues regarding the service getting into a weird state. There might be bug hiding somewhere there.

Cheers,
Anton

Hi guys,
I am working on a demo project, still unpublished, but I have implemented MQTT in my android app and it's great.
I am running the MOSQUITO broker on an Amazon EC2 server.
The latency is sometimes too long (4 sec) but it's due to the fact that my server is in the US and I am in Israel.
If someone needs any help contact me on this thread - I prefer not in private so others will enjoy like I am enjoying threads here daily...

hello, can you check your link, apparently, it's not working. thanks

should be back up now, sorry.

Also, there might be a bug right now, when the service tries to reconnect too often in the background, which drains the battery. I'm working on fixing that. Just an FYI

--EDIT--
ok, I think the battery drain issue is fixed. Let me know, if I'm wrong.

Hi yuvalkesten, can you give me more details about the implementation. A fellow developer told me that mqtt is very hard to configure.

Hi tokudu,
I am using your app to simulate this on ,my AVD, but when i click on Start Service button, i am getting an error unknow error. I tried to test with wmqttSample.jar, with 209.124.50.174, 1883 port. On connect in the sample it throwing an exception java.net.ConnectionException: Connection Refused, connect.
Please let me how can i test this with my own local hot.

Thanks
