Do you know why there is a small loop on back of your shirt?

These little loop were originally used by East Coast sailors, who would hang their shirts on ship hooks when changing. This detail soon found itself off the ships and onto the streets. The trend started with the US made Oxford button down shirts in the 1960′s.
Later, it even became part of Ivy League dating culture. They were used to denote relationship status or to show interest. Young ladies would rip the locker loops on the shirts of boys they found cute, which would sometimes result in the shirt ripping off. Sometimes, the guy would remove his loop to show that he was already taken by his sweetheart. That way girls couldn't run by and yank their shirt to pieces.
The trend was picked up by various other brands and continues till today. But since the arrival of wardrobes, locker loops serve no other purpose other than as a decorative design..

Firebase Cloud Messaging Tutorial for Android

Hello everyone all we know Google Cloud Messaging which sends message from server to app,  Google has introduces Firebase that allows many features including Firebase Cloud Messaging which is much more easier than Google Cloud Messaging.

Create android project in Android Studio.

Get configuration file

Go to firebase console and create new project

Now Put app name and select country from drop down

Select Add firebase to android app as shown below

After this you will ask to enter package name, after that click on add app new file in .JSON format will be downloaded into your download location.

 

Copy  that  google-services.json file  and put in your android app's main root folder.

Configuring Android application with firebase

Now go to your root level build.gradle file and add the following code.

buildscript {

    repositories {

        jcenter()

    }

    dependencies {

        classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:2.1.0'

        //Add this line

        classpath 'com.google.gms:google-services:3.0.0'

    }

}

allprojects {

    repositories {

        jcenter()

    }

}

task clean(type: Delete) {

    delete rootProject.buildDir

}

Inside app level build.gradle file copy following lines

apply plugin: 'com.android.application'

android {

    compileSdkVersion 23

    buildToolsVersion "23.0.3"

    defaultConfig {

        applicationId "com.fornfromgeeks.firebase"

        minSdkVersion 8

        targetSdkVersion 23

        versionCode 2

        versionName "1.1"

    }

    buildTypes {

        release {

            minifyEnabled false

            proguardFiles getDefaultProguardFile('proguard-android.txt'), 'proguard-rules.pro'

        }

    }

}

dependencies {

    compile fileTree(dir: 'libs', include: ['*.jar'])

    testCompile 'junit:junit:4.12'

    compile 'com.android.support:appcompat-v7:23.4.0'

    //Add this line

    compile 'com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging:9.0.0'

}

//Add this line

apply plugin: 'com.google.gms.google-services'

Start syncing the project

Create MyFirebaseInstanceIDService.java file and copy paste following code in it.

import android.util.Log;

import com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceId;

import com.google.firebase.iid.FirebaseInstanceIdService;

/**

* Created by Geek on 6/27/2016.

*/

//Class extending FirebaseInstanceIdService

public class MyFirebaseInstanceIDService extends FirebaseInstanceIdService {

    private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseIIDService";

    @Override

    public void onTokenRefresh() {

        

        //Getting registration token

        String refreshedToken = FirebaseInstanceId.getInstance().getToken();

        

        //Displaying token on logcat

        Log.d(TAG, "Refreshed token: " + refreshedToken);

        

    }

    private void sendRegistrationToServer(String token) {

        //You can implement this method to store the token on your server

        //Not required for current project

    }

}

Create another  MyFirebaseMessagingService.java file and copy paste following code in it.

import android.app.NotificationManager;

import android.app.PendingIntent;

import android.content.Context;

import android.content.Intent;

import android.media.RingtoneManager;

import android.net.Uri;

import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;

import android.util.Log;

import com.google.firebase.messaging.FirebaseMessagingService;

import com.google.firebase.messaging.RemoteMessage;

/**

* Created by Geek on 6/27/2016.

*/

public class MyFirebaseMessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService {

    private static final String TAG = "MyFirebaseMsgService";

    @Override

    public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {

        //Displaying data in log

        //It is optional

        Log.d(TAG, "From: " + remoteMessage.getFrom());

        Log.d(TAG, "Notification Message Body: " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());

        

        //Calling method to generate notification

        sendNotification(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());

    }

    //This method is only generating push notification

    //It is same as we did in earlier posts

    private void sendNotification(String messageBody) {

        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);

        intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);

        PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, intent,

                PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

        Uri defaultSoundUri= RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);

        NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)

                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)

                .setContentTitle("Firebase Push Notification from fornfromgeeks")

                .setContentText(messageBody)

                .setAutoCancel(true)

                .setSound(defaultSoundUri)

                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent);

        NotificationManager notificationManager =

                (NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);

        notificationManager.notify(0, notificationBuilder.build());

    }

}

We need to define and add services in our project's manifest file.

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

    package="com.fornfromgeeks.firebase">

    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET"/>

    <application

        android:allowBackup="true"

        android:icon="@mipmap/ic_launcher"

        android:label="@string/app_name"

        android:theme="@style/AppTheme">

        <activity android:name=".MainActivity">

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />

                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />

            </intent-filter>

        </activity>

        <!--

            Defining and Adding Services

        -->

        <service

            android:name=".MyFirebaseMessagingService">

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.MESSAGING_EVENT"/>

            </intent-filter>

        </service>

        <service

            android:name=".MyFirebaseInstanceIDService">

            <intent-filter>

                <action android:name="com.google.firebase.INSTANCE_ID_EVENT"/>

            </intent-filter>

        </service>

    </application>

</manifest>

Its time to run the app, when you run the app you will see token in logcat, Copy that token which will use to send message form Firebase console.

Send FCM

Go to Firebase console and select your app

Select notification from left panel.

Click on new message

Enter message, select single device and paste the token you copied.

You will receive message.

Thank You !
