I download Android Client from link above and run on real device and I get this Exception :

java.lang.IllegalStateException: The meta-data tag in your app's AndroidManifest.xml does not have the right value. Expected 4030500 but found 13. You must have the following declaration within the <application> element: <meta-data android:name="com.google.android.gms.version" android:value="@integer/google_play_services_version"/>

and I replace it with "4030500" and run it again.

Guest Book start it but display that ERROR :

12-18 20:37:06.567: I/CloudBackend(1801): com.google.api.client.googleapis.extensions.android.gms.auth.GoogleAuthIOException

and I cannot write a message in EditText in Guest Book.

Sorry, you are having an issue... it looks like misconfigured Google Play Services, are you running this on an emulator? Do you have the right google-enabled image?

Also, it looks like you are using the v1 Android client. I suggest you download the new client from http://developers.google.co...

Nice overview for android package. Android apps are meant for extreme extent for the job to be done up without any obligations. And more over the integration and synchronization between apps and tools make more sense to get with the things done up easily and appreciatively.

I too that's why prefer having tools featuring the approach. And more with the strategy the tool that I have been using for the sort of task management and tracking to get the perfect end result is Replicon's task management app ( http://www.replicon.com/olp... ) which I have downloaded recently that comes with an open API and which helps manage the things to get the ends up in a perfect manner.

This Mobile Backend Starter project doesn't appear to be listed anywhere that I can find in the Google Cloud Console. There is a get started by deploying our Photofeed sample app, but nothing else like shown in the video.

The Getting Started here: https://developers.google.c...

Also references the same process for using the Cloud Console. But that does not appear to be possible anymore. The Getting Started needs to be updated and it would be helpful to see this blog post updated as well. It looks really thorough and useful, but is broken by this change to the Cloud Console.

Thank you.

I finally got the whole thing working. Quite a challenge getting all the right client ids set up and placed in the right spots. Very nice demo. So much to learn. Thanks, Brad.

I too was getting 404 responses in the Android client. When I looked at the App Engine side it was reporting configuration errors. I found that I could get rid of the errors by setting the values for Audience and Client Ids in the Mobile Backend Settings. More information on Stack Overflow (see http://stackoverflow.com/a/....

Try exporting the project from Eclipse (you might need to add a local.properties file as well) before importing to Android Studio, it's working on Android studio for me after doing this.

I wander if you can hel me. I'm habing a really weird behabiour.

I used the basic backend starter client code and tweaked it just to insert cusmtom data (didn't actived authentication yet).

The weird thing is that the insertions works fine for some time, but if some ours after I try (without change in the code) do more insertions I get the :

com.google.api.client.googleapis.json.GoogleJsonResponseException: 404 Not Found

and keep failing till I redeploy the mobile backend and let pass some minutes.

I'm just perplex an furstrated. Can you give me any idea why is that happening?

Anyway thanks for the post and the IO video.

Are the results the mobile client gets from querying the backend also stored locally in the mobile device ( something like a sqlite db), so that everytime the user starts the app it would not retreive all the records.

I ask this because when I closed my wifi connection and restarted the app, I was shown a blank map with no markers like before. Thus I thought the mobile client app is not storing data locally and is retreiving the complete data everytime it starts.

I am a newbie to cloud storage, please dont shout at me if my question seems stupid.

Probem solved by (I think) deleting the same creds on another test app - that was deleted.

(had to undelete the project via the old console https://code.google.com/api... , then delete the creds within it, then delete the project again.)

I think possibly creds are valid globally even after an app has been deleted - presumably until the app has been fully deleted (ie undelete is no longer available.)

I'm not 100% sure, but posted this in case anyone has the same issue.

This looks great - many thanks.

I'm having some trouble adding authentication to the android client - when I try to create register the new application for the API, it reports:

Error (projectId=YYYYYYY)

OAUTH_CLIENT_KEY_ALREADY_EXISTS: OAuthClient key exists

(I have replaced the project ID with YYYYYYY)

I'm not sure if this is a config issue internal to my app, or if it's a consequence of using the android debug keys.

I'm going to dig around for a good primer on app engine client authentication...

Is there any other documentation for the mobile backend project? Every time I try to run the app I get errors saying files are missing. Any help would be great.

Brad, thank you for putting up these server configuration details. This was exactly what I needed to get up and running with GCM.

Only one year and it is deprecated. And there is no documentation about whats going on. Can you at least provide a simple application that works without C2DM. Just authentication, storing and retrieving data.

Hi,

Since Eclipse 4.2 (and I guess since C2DM has been deprecated in favor of GCM https://developers.google.c... there is no "App Engine connected Android project" available, is there any equivalent? I'm mostly interrested in the android to App Engine part :-) .

Make a copy of folder lib in same <appname>-Android/ and rename to libs. It will work. I also spend 1 week to resolve this.
