Hi,

The last issue, wasn´t pushwoosh related, like I thought. 
There was something messed up with the libs needed for the video-texture. After reimporting everything the app now starts successfully on my device.

Thank you for all the support elixirbash!

I´ll now start testing the app thoroughly, but I hope this topic is solved and closed :)))

Hmm my idea: 

I wrote in one of my first posts, that I had to use the new QCar 2.0.32, since the changed something for apple (weren´t allowed to read the UDID anymore).
Maybe with that release they needed new permissions, that you have not yet in you manifest?

I´ll try to revert the qcar version to 2.0.31 just for the android release

Hmm. The App now starts from Unity the same way.
But it breaks off after or during the Splashscreen, which I´m not sure, has to do anything with Pushwoosh anymore...
I get these message in Logcat:

Guess a new topic?!

Any idea?
Maik

there is no need to import the project to eclipse inorder to make pushwoosh work.

the reason i asked for was to check if PACKAGE_NAME has been properly replaced with your apps bundle.

with these changes the app should work seamlessly.

Ok, I now realized, that there were multiple spots in the manifest, where I had to replace "PACKAGE_NAME" with my bundle identifier.

Now the Application compiles and starts, but breaks during or after the Splashscreen. I look into it now and will edit this post later.

Hi,

I had much trouble today, because apparently the latest android sdk release (22) is an absolute killer for Unity. Won´t compile at all. Took me quite some time to find the solution to backroll to 21 again.  (No fix from Unity yet)

Actually I´m not exactly at the same point I was before. At the moment eclipse tells me, that my Manifest is malformed.

But to get one thing straight, which I might have missunderstood: Is it for your approach neccessary to export the unityproject as an android-project and open it with eclipse, at all? Or in other words: should your solution work right out of unity without touching the android project itself?

I´ll attach my manifest (without) the IDs here.

Thanks for the effort

Maik

EDIT: I Just found the warning in logcat, that is probably telling me about the problem:

could you share your android manifest

Sorry for the inconvenience and thanks for the attempt to help.
After I was put on another project, I now face this problem after several weeks once more.
I tried for a few hours different things now. 
And had quite some error messages seen in the process.

Could you please give me a more in-detail explanation about the steps?

I´m not sure in which order I am supposed to implement your files.
 

My approach was to :

-Import the Androidfolder you linked into my Unity project
-I replaced the unityPushwoosh.jar with your second file
-I altered the manifest file like descriped in the Pushwoosh manual (filled in the package name and the PushWoosh-App-ID)
-since a build from unity onto my phone didn´t work at this point(it said, that the apk couldn´t be installed), I exported the android-Project from unity and imported it as a new project into my eclipse.
-after I (don´t know why) had to replace my manifest in eclipse once more, which was probably the problem unity had (sorry, did loose overview over all the files) I get the following logcat output:

To add to the confusion: Since I use Video-Textures in my project I´ve set Ice Cream Sandwich(4.0) as my min.SDKVersion.

After the export for eclipse I altered the MinSDKVersion infos in the files accordingly.

Since I´m quite sure, that I get the order of the steps wrong: Could you please give me a more detailed explanation?
Sorry :(

Thanks
Maik

PS: Since I had to upload the App to the iOS Appstore in the meantime I had to update to QCar 2.0.32 (in order to meet a new apple regulation)
Could it have anything to do with this?

Hey guys,

I got Pushwoosh plugin to work with Vuforia in uinity , few weeeks back. Sorry for the delay in replying.

Il give a step by step process :

1)Download https://github.com/shaders/unity-pushwoosh-jar/tree/Vuforia-Unity/UnityPushwoosh

2) Replace the UnityPushwoosh.jar with https://github.com/shaders/unity-pushwoosh-jar/blob/Vuforia-Unity/UnityPushwoosh/UnityPushwoosh.jar

3)Important!! USE ONLY THE ANDROID MANIFEST THAT COMES WITH PUSHWOOSH AND DO NECESSARY CHANGES.THE NEW JAR WILL TAKE CARE OF EXTENDING THE MAIN ACTIVITY FOR VUFORIA.

Try this out!!

regards,

Elixir.bash

Here is a Vuforia-Unity branch with a sample project of Pushwoosh integration with Unity and Vuforia:https://github.com/shaders/unity-pushwoosh-jar/tree/Vuforia-Unity

Hi,

has there been any progress on this issue. I currently have to integrate Push into my next App. While it was quite easy for iOS. (I used Pushwoosh)
I don´t see a clear way for Android yet, since it has been made clear in this post, that Pushwoosh can´t be used together with Vuforia, since both need to be the MainActivity in the Manifest.

The only possibility I see as of now (but would probably take me quite some time, since I´m not a routine android developer) would be to export a real android project out of unity and integrate the push the "manuel way". 

Prime31 Etcetera seems to not be an option either, because apparently is has stopped the suppport for Android Push.

I´d be really thankful if somebody had an idea about how to tackle this some other way.

Maik

I know AllJoyn and have used in my app ;). But this is not a Push Notification Solution, this is a Multiplayer Solution. You got something mistaken ;)

Have you checked out AllJoyn? - they provide a Unity plugin

https://www.alljoyn.org/

Zombie Toy is a Vuforia based game..

Hello elixirbash,

Have you ever found a solution for Push Notifications for Unity Android with Vuforia?

Thank you!

Regards,

Russel

Thats a bunch of info i could feed on for solution AlessandroB!!

Thanks a ton.. will keep posted ..

-Elixir.bash

Hi elixirbash, thanks for sharing the AndroidManifest. Actually by looking at it, I can now see that the pushwoosh activity is also a sort of Unity proxy activity, and not a simple generic android activity; this makes things more complicated because both QCARPlayerActivity and the Pushwoosh activity need to be main activities and both extend the Unity player activity;

in this case it will be really hard to make them coexist, unless you have access to the source code of the Pushwoosh and can "refactor" that activity into the QCAR one (but that would be very complex).

What I would suggest is to try to see if you can find some push notification API for Android that do not rely on Unity activities, i.e. something that provides just the basic Android features, which you could then more easily integrate.

Push notifications for Android are also discussed in this forum thread (maybe you can find some useful info there):

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1378671/push-notifications-in-android-platform

Also, if you are familiar with Android development with Eclipse, you may want to also have a look at this Post, which shows an approach to export a Unity project to an Eclipse project and then being able to directly work in Java from Eclipse (thus allowing you to integrate any Android-related stuff in your Unity-based App):

https://developer.vuforia.com/forum/faq/unity-how-can-i-extend-unitys-android-activity

IHTH.

Apart from this plugin , please do let me know other means of acheiving server based push notification for vuforia unity android..

Hi elixirbash,

in Android you cannot have 2 main activities, so you will have to keep just one activity as MAIN;

so, you should only use the intent-filter with the MAIN and LAUNCHER attributes for the QCARPlayerProxyActivity (not for the pushwoosh one).

I haven't directly tried integrating pushwoosh as a plugin, but technically you should be able to merge the two android manifests into one single manifest; I would recommend that you keep your current QCAR Unity project manifest (which should be located under Assets/Plugins/Android) and you just add the extra elements to it by copy-pasting them from the pushwoosh manifest. 

I hope this helps.

 

 

 

Thank you for replying Asessandro.

I did copy them and integrate.The app crashes when a call is made to pushwoosh JNI as i could see.

I edited my manifest in the following way.

        <activity android:name="com.qualcomm.QCARUnityPlayer.QCARPlayerProxyActivity"
                  android:label="@string/app_name"
                  android:configChanges="fontScale|keyboard|keyboardHidden|locale|mnc|mcc|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|uiMode|touchscreen">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
              <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

         <activity android:label="@string/app_name" android:name="com.pushwoosh.unity.PWUnityPlayerProxyActivity" android:screenOrientation="portrait" android:launchMode="singleTop" android:configChanges="locale|mcc|mnc|touchscreen|keyboard|keyboardHidden|navigation|orientation|screenLayout|uiMode|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|fontScale">
            <intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
        </activity>

I made the qcar activity as the default launcher..

I made this change WRT www.daily3gp.com/vids/747.3gp

Im now trying to figure out the right reason for the app crash..

Please share your thought on this..

will keep you updated if i make progress
