I have a simple application with a few lines because I am trying to figure out why my real application crashes in GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this) (if I delete it my application doesn't crash). Can anyone help? :( :

public class DemoActivity extends Activity {
private String TAG = "** pushAndroidActivity **";
private TextView mDisplay;
    @Override
    public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
       GCMRegistrar.checkDevice(this);
       GCMRegistrar.checkManifest(this);
        setContentView(R.layout.main);
        mDisplay = (TextView) findViewById(R.id.display);
        mDisplay.setText("ciao");
}

Manifest:

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"

It's probably running on a device that doesn't support GCM, so your call to GCMRegistrar.checkDevice( this ); is throwing an exception. Check your logcat to be sure.

If you're testing it on an emulator, make sure you have the emulator set up to use Google APIs. When you create the emulator, the create new AVD window has a "Target" box. Select something in that box that says "Google APIs".

create emulator with google api

Plz Follow the Following Steps

1 . Include "gcm.jar" in libs in your Application

2. Android SDK Manager => Extras => Install Google Cloud Messaging for Android Library (Obsolete)

3. Android SDK Manager => Android 4.3 (API 18) => Install Google APIs

is this really going to work ? i have 2 failures one in nexus S and one in Nexus 4. They didn' have the GCM installed.. but i don't have them so as to test it. should I test this in the emulator?Edmanda
@Edmanda "They didn' have the GCM installed" what do you mean ?Jillane
i mean i got this error Caused by: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Device does not have package com.google.android.gsf in nexus S an 4 so how could they not have these?Edmanda

In eclipse

1)Download gcm.jar

2)buildpath-->configure build path-->libraries-->external jar -->path_to_gcmjar

this is the most important point

3)copy gcm.jar and paste in lib folder of project
