BlackBerry Push Development

[tiagormribeiro]

Sorry my client have send my a PDF but this is an e-mail from Blackberry that says "BlackBerry Push Service Evaluation Credentials: Celfinet". Then I've some configurations in that e-mail.

From server I don't have any problem (I think) because I can Start General Push. My problem is configuring my phone.

When I start the Sample Push Enabled Application (v5.0) I've to define the settings:

Port: is the one assigned to my client

App Id: also the one assigned to my client

BPS server URL: http://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com

Push Initiator application URL: http://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com

Then when Register I've to provide username and password but I don't have anything refering that in section "Configuration properties for the push-enabled application".

Thanks.

What do you have your contentProviderUrl variable set to in your client application? Is this URL accessible from the Internet?

[tiagormribeiro]

Garett I don't have any contentProviderUrl field in Settings window. I only have BPS server URL and Push Initiator application URL.

My server have to be accessible from the internet? I'm trying this locally but I can put it on a Azure Platform so it will be accessible from the internet.

Thanks.

Local testing doesn't really work with BIS push, it all needs to be tested through the BlackBerry infrastructure.

[tiagormribeiro]

Yes Garett. I'm working on that right now.

But I don't understand what you are referring with contentProviderUrl. I don't have any field with that name in Settings window. I only have BPS server URL and Push Initiator application URL. It's one of this?

Thanks for your help.

[gbeukeboom]

It would be Push Initiator application URL. If you look into the application code the variable is actually contentProviderUrl

[tiagormribeiro]

Ok. When I've my server accessible from the internet I'll test and tell you what is happening.

Thanks once more.

Best Regards,

Tiago Ribeiro.

Hello Garett.

Thanks for your support. Today I've finally achieved my goal: receive a message in my Blackberry sent from this service. Now I can go on with my own application.

Best regards,

Tiago Ribeiro.

Great to hear! Can you provide some details on what fixed the issue?

The problem was my fault.

With the correct configurations everything have worked smoothly.

Blackberry Configurations:

Port: the Push Port in section Configuration properties for the push-enabled application (client application)

App ID: The Application ID in the same place

BPS server URL: http://pushapi.eval.blackberry.com

Push initiator application URL: http://[my_server:8080]/sample-push-initiator

App Acknowledgment: checked

Use public (BIS) network
