Android Platform Configuration

1. Go to https://console.firebase.google.com/ and create a new project

2. Go to Your Project > Project settings:

3. In Cloud Messaging tab find Server Key and Sender ID:

4. Configure Android platform with your Firebase credentials following the guide.

SDK Integration

1. Add the Nuget package “Pushwoosh.Firebase.Xamarin.Droid” to your project.
2. Add the following metadata to AndroidManifest.xml:

<meta-data android:name="com.pushwoosh.appid" android:value="XXXXX-XXXXX" />
<meta-data android:name="com.pushwoosh.senderid" android:value="@string/fcm_sender_id" />

Where:

• com.pushwoosh.appid is your Pushwoosh Application Code
• com.pushwoosh.senderid is the Sender ID you got from the Firebase Console (See Step 5 of Android Platform Configuration guide).

Note

Please note that you need to add fcm_sender_id to res/values/strings.xml of your project (create this file if necessary):

strings.xml

<resources>
    <string name="fcm_sender_id">YOUR FCM SENDER ID</string>
</resources>

3.1. Add google-services.json file to your project.

Note

google-services.json

You should’ve gotten the google-services.json file while creating the app in Firebase console. If you haven’t, please consult this thread (section Get a config file for your Android app).

3.2. In Visual Studio, right-click the google-services.json and choose GoogleServicesJson option from the Build Action menu.

4. Register for push notifications:

using Pushwoosh;

PushNotificationsManager.Instance.RegisterForPushNotifications();

That’s it!
