How to register my Android app to parse a site

Here's the best way to implement the official Parse SDK for standard push notification based on my experiences and some trial and error as well as many SO and Parse threads . So I'll go through these steps:

• Add the following dependencies to your app's build.gradle file and you can get the latest versions from empty parse github projects or Parse SDK from docs on website. the latest versions are still here:

  compile 'com.parse.bolts:bolts-tasks:1.3.0'
  compile 'com.parse:parse-android:1.11.0'
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• Add the following codes similar to the quick reference guide in the method of application class onCreate()
  
  project, change the appropriate keys → Note that these two lines should be added after super.onCreate();
  
  :

  // Enable Local Datastore.
  Parse.enableLocalDatastore(this);
  
  // Add your initialization code here
  Parse.initialize(this, "YOUR APPLICATION ID", "YOUR CLIENT KEY");
  ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().saveInBackground();
  
  ParseUser.enableAutomaticUser();
  ParseACL defaultACL = new ParseACL();
  // Optionally enable public read access.
  // defaultACL.setPublicReadAccess(true);
  ParseACL.setDefaultACL(defaultACL, true);
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• Add the following line after setContentView
  
  to the MainActivity class:

  ParseAnalytics.trackAppOpenedInBackground(getIntent());
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• add the Parse service and receivers to AndroidManifest.xml just before the closing tag </application>
  
  and make the specified package names identical to yours:

  <service android:name="com.parse.PushService" />
  <receiver android:name="com.parse.ParsePushBroadcastReceiver"
      android:exported="false">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.RECEIVE" />
      <action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.DELETE" />
      <action android:name="com.parse.push.intent.OPEN" />
      </intent-filter>
  </receiver>
  <receiver android:name="com.parse.GcmBroadcastReceiver"
      android:permission="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.SEND">
    <intent-filter>
      <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.RECEIVE" />
      <action android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTRATION" />
  
      <!--
        IMPORTANT: Change "com.parse.starter" to match your app package name.
      -->
      <category android:name="com.parse.starter" />
    </intent-filter>
  </receiver>
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

• add permissions like the instructions in the quickstart, usually just before the opening tag <application>
  
  , and make the specified package names the same as yours:

  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WAKE_LOCK" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.VIBRATE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.GET_ACCOUNTS" />
  <uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.c2dm.permission.RECEIVE" />
  
  <!--
    IMPORTANT: Change "com.parse.starter.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" in the lines below
    to match your app package name + ".permission.C2D_MESSAGE".
  -->
  <permission android:protectionLevel="signature"
      android:name="com.parse.starter.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
  <uses-permission android:name="com.parse.starter.permission.C2D_MESSAGE" />
  
        
  
          
          
          
        
  
      

LAST STEP) Well done! Enjoy pushing your stuff. ;)
