Hi all
I have a web app that uses notifications to users that go via Firebase, and this is working well.
I have an Android App that someone developed for me, which basically houses the web site (via webView) along with some additional tools such as a Qr reader. I myself am not an app developer but a web dev.
I would like to add the notifications to the App as well - he told me he has added what he needs to do on his side, and that i need to add some code to the web site, so that that the notifications can work in the App as well.
Can anyone shed some light on this for me?
Thanks!

Hello all,
I set up Cloud printing on my computer and it works fine. According to the article listed below, it states that the Gmail app as been updated to include the google cloud print option. I am able to navigate to gmail.com on the mobile browser and I have those printing options, but not in the gmail app ( made sure there wasn't any update in the market)... Am I missing something here?

Google unveiled Cloud Print in last year's Chrome Dev Channel build, and the search engine giant forges ahead again with today's release of Google Cloud Print for the Gmail mobile app for the iPhone and Android operating systems.

Seems that the CNET article is indeed misleading in that it IS NOT part of the app.
Maybe it's better this way.
The article also says:
from your smartphone simply by opening a file in the mobile browser and choosing "Print" from the drop-down menu in the updated app.

They got it half right anyway.
On the google blog page itself...
This feature will be rolling out today and tomorrow for English speaking users in the US and will work on most phones that support HTML5

Basically, you can print from any modern phone simply by logging in at gmail.com instead of using the gmail app.
They may update the app but for now I can tell you... IT WORKS!
Sweet beans!
The only "catch" seems to be that Google Chrome would have had to been open at least once after a reboot and the computer has to be running, of course.
Right now, with chrome running, cloud printing will work.
If I close chrome, it will still work - chrome will leave a small process/service running in the background so that it will print immediately without having the browser open.
So I decided to test it by rebooting and printing something from my superphone.
The phone sent the print job successfully, cool.
The computer is still booting up...
Windows loads and after everything is running, it still don't print - seems that chrome's print service/process doesn't get loaded on boot.
So I open up chrome and close it... and the email immediately printed out
I can add the chrome service thingie to windows startup anyway so it's an easy workaround to get it to print without having had to open chrome manually after a boot.
All in all, it's pretty neat.
Oh and thanks for posting about it... I knew nothing about this... heh
Thanks for the information! I don't think I will be using this feature, but I was curious how it actually worked.
Does anyone know if it's possible to 'share' this to someone else's account? I have a file server which has the printer connected to. There are 3 of us in the house on Android phones, but I'm the only one that can print from Gmail?
Looks like chrome will only setup a connection to 1 gmail account.
A workaround would be to change the email setting in chrome (disable cloud printing and then re-enable with a different email)
If you had 2 other computers running chrome and connected to the printer, that would work too.
If you go into chrome, cloud print, manage printers, hover to the right of the printer, there is a pull-down to share the printer. Enter their gmail address and you are all set.
i would like to realize an application to synchronize google chrome bookmarks with my phone.
no problem realizing the application. the only problem is: how can i download data from google server? how can i get the list of bookmarks from google chrome server?
From what I heard, they used to have them available in the google docs website. However, they're making some changes and the synced bookmarks are not currently accessible.
I occasionally use an app called (I think) Chrome to Windows Phone which is useful for sending one link at a time - but like you say it would be great to have a complete sync like e.g. XMarks does for desktop browsers.
It might be worth contact XMarks to see if they would open their API for you to write a phone app.

xmark is a browser extension. i think it's possible to realize an extension, but my idea was an http request like you can do with google bookmarks.
an extension won't allow me to access data from the device anytime i want (or i can do it using a webserver)
You might want to take a look at chromepush.com as well.
Similar app
There is a similar application for Android:

It will be great, if any alternative will be released for WP7!!

This site is not working already. Maybe url or program name changed?
There is already an app for this called Chrome Bookmarks

I recently released an app that does that - it talks directly to Google's servers using the native Chrome sync protocol. It syncs down open Tabs, Bookmarks and recently accessed web pages. It is available in the marketplace under "Chrync" - there is an unlimited trial, and I've no problem with people using it without paying for as long as they like.
I've also released a beta of a new version, which works when you have sync encryption enabled in Chrome. It also (optionally) syncs passwords, lets you pin bookmarks and folders, and lets you search bookmarks, passwords and recent URLs. Info on the beta at chrync.com/beta1-1/

Hi all, I'm trying to debugging how the new google Hangouts works with the old Gtalk/Xmpp protocol.
The primary goal is to know when a buddy is online from mobile or he is completly offline/unavailable.
At first I thought that when the mobile client disconnects from internet and from google server the Xmpp status of its buddy would become offline. So I've developed a simply app, Hangout isOnline:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lorenzobraghetto.hangoutsisonline
https://github.com/monossido/Hangout-isOnline
But then I discover that even if all Hangouts clients are not comunicating with google server the Gtalk buddy it's still online with an away status, apparently without any changes. (the xmpp Presence packet seems to be the same)
The app it's still usefull to know if someone is using:
-Gtalk online/away
-Hangouts from PC online/away
-Hangouts from mobile
The app it's opensource so if someone has a solution for that any contribution is helpfull!
The app is updated, the hangouts/xmpp limitations are still here, but there are some new feature such as "sort by" option, searching ecc...

Why has nobody made a facebook app that has tor connection built in and uses facebook's .onion url to access? I want to learn how to build this app and compile it. Advice? There are plenty of 3rd party facebook apps but none that I've seen with this function.
Can anyone reccomend a calendar app with native Office 365 support, that don't require much manual setup. Earlier I used Sunrise, but after that was taken down I cant find a replacement.
I have tried several, latest DigiCal, but although they claim to support O365 it seems to require much manual tweaking of server settings etc, and I have not been able to get it working.
I would like something where I select to import O365, login to my organisations portal and the calendar just appears after that....
All tips are appreciated!
