Android Question How to handle the new receiver modules

[Andie]

I created an app that receives push notifications via the “subscribe-to-topic” feature. So far, I have a Main module, a Starter module (including the Subs Process_Globals, Service_Create, Application_Error and the empty Subs Service_Start, Service_TastRemoved, Service_Destroy) and the FirebaseMessaging module (including the Subs Service_Create and Service_Start). Am I right, that I have to create a new Sub Receiver_Receive within the FirebaseMessaging module containing the code, which before was in the Subs Service_Create and Service_Start? And: Is the starter module still needed?

and the FirebaseMessaging module (including the Subs Service_Create and Service_Start)

That´s wrong! With the newest B4A you should have a RECEIVER Module.

Check the updated FirebaseMessagingTutorial

FirebaseNotifications - Push messages / Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM)

Updated tutorial: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-firebase-push-notifications-2023.148715/ Clarification: The nice thing about FCM is that your app doesn't need to run in order to receive messages. The FirebaseMessaging receiver will be started by the OS when a new message...

Okay. I add the new module ReceiverModule, which contains the empty Subs Process_Globals and Receiver_Receive(FirstTime ....). Is that all, I have to do? The original FirebaseMessaging module will remain unchanged? Or do I have to copy any code in the new receiver module?

 

[DonManfred]

The original FirebaseMessaging module will remain unchanged?

the old firebasemessagingservice should not longer be there. It is replaced by a receiver

 

[Andie]

That means, that I have to copy the code from the old and no longer needed FirebaseMessaging module into the new receiver module? And what code does the Sub Receiver_Receive contain?

 

[DonManfred]

Receiver_receive is the replacement sub for message_arrived from the old service.

Thanks for the information. fm_MessageArrived is a method of the FirebaseMessaging object fm (fm is the common name for it), which is defined in Sub Process_Globals and initialized in Sub Service_Create and used in Sub SubscribeToTopics.
So, I can copy the code of the old FirebaseMessaging module into the new receiver module, where the code inside the old Sub fm_MessageArrived is now in Sub Receiver_Receive. Is that right?
