Apps Data push from Java and .NET to native Android apps

[midnightcoders]

Hi guys,

I just wanted to share a few examples I put together demonstrating data push from .NET and Java apps to native Android java app. You can see the examples in the following blog posts which include a video overview and the source code for both client and server-side projects.

Hi Mark, welcome to AF & thanks for the links

A couple of questions though -- it looks like your Android client is polling, not getting push data. So then aren't you killing the user's battery?

Why would a Android developer choose this solution of Google's true push notification service C2DM?
