The Realtime Framework Cloud Messaging Pub/Sub client for React-Native Android
npm install react-native-realtimemessaging-androidRealtime Cloud Messaging is a highly-scalable pub/sub message broker, allowing you to broadcast messages to millions of users, reliably and securely. It's all in the cloud so you don't need to manage servers.
React Native enables you to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React.
More information can be found on the
Realtime native Android SDK reference documentation.
* Create a new react-native project. Check react-native getting started
* Execute
npm install --save react-native-realtimemessaging-android
* In android/settings.gradle
...
include ':react-native-realtime-messaging-android'
project(':react-native-realtime-messaging-android').projectDir = new File(settingsDir,'../node_modules/react-native-realtimemessaging-android/reactnativemessagingandroid')
* In android/app/build.gradle
...
dependencies {
...
compile project(':react-native-realtime-messaging-android')
}
* Add new RealtimeMessagingPackage() to the getPackages() method return list in MainApplication.java.
import co.realtime.reactnativemessagingandroid.RealtimeMessagingPackage; //<-- import
public class MainApplication extends Application implements ReactApplication {
...
@Override
protected List
return Arrays.
new MainReactPackage(),
new RealtimeMessagingPackage() // <-- add RealtimeMessagingPackage object
);
}
...
* Drag PROJECT_DIR/node_modules/react-native-realtimemessaging-android/RCTRealtimeMessagingAndroid.js to the root of your project.
* If you want to use push notifications, set MainActivity extending RealtimePushNotificationActivity.
import co.realtime.reactnativemessagingandroid.RealtimePushNotificationActivity;
public class MainActivity extends RealtimePushNotificationActivity {
...
}
You are ready to go.

import realtime from './RCTRealtimeMessagingAndroid';
var RCTRealtimeMessaging = new realtime();
In order to get event notifications from the native SDK, the JavaScript interface has two methods for adding and removing event registration.
RTEventListener(notification, callBack: Function)
RTEventListener registers a given event name on the notification field and a given callback function to be fired when the event occurs.
Example:
import realtime from './RCTRealtimeMessagingAndroid';
var RCTRealtimeMessaging = new realtime();
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTEventListener("onConnected",this._onConnected),
RTRemoveEventListener(notification)
RTRemoveEventListener removes an event registration. After this method when the event occurs the callback will not be fired.
Example:
import realtime from './RCTRealtimeMessagingAndroid';
var RCTRealtimeMessaging = new realtime();
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTEventListener("onConnected",this._onConnected),
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTRemoveEventListener("onConnected"),
Complete event list:
* onConnected - Occurs when the client connects
* onDisconnect - Occurs when the client disconnects
* onReconnect - Occurs when the client reconnects
* onReconnecting - Occurs when the client is attempting to reconnect
* onSubscribed - Occurs when the client has successfully subscribed a channel. The event notification data is {"channel":channel}
* onUnSubscribed - Occurs when the client has successfully unsubscribed a channel. The event notification data is {"channel":channel}
* onException - Occurs when there is an exception. The event notification data is {"error":error.localizedDescription}
* onMessage - Occurs when a message is received. The event notification data is {"message": message,"channel": channel}
* onMessageWithFilter - Occurs when a message is received using RTSubscribeWithFilter. The event notification data is {"message": message,"channel": channel, "filtered":true}, where the filtered property indicates wheter the server was able to successfully filter the message.
* onMessageWithBuffer - Fired when a message was received in the specified channel subscribed with the RTSubscribeWithBuffer.
- channel - The channel where the message was received
- seqId - The message sequence id
- message - The message received
* onMessageWithOptions - Fired when a message was received in the specified channel subscribed with the RTSubscribeWithOptions
- msgOptions - Dictionary where the message data was received
-
msgOptions = {
channel, // Channel where the message was received
seqId, // The message sequence id property
filtered, // Indicates if server has filtered the message
message // Content of the received message
}
* onPresence - Gets the subscriptions in the specified channel and if active the first 100 unique connection metadata:
- On success -> {"result": result}
- On error -> {"error": error}
* onEnablePresence - Enables presence for the specified channel with the first 100 unique connection metadata:
- On success -> {"result": result}
- On error -> {"error": error}
* onDisablePresence - Disables presence for the specified channel:
- On success -> {"result": result}
- On error -> {"error": error}
#### Configure your project for push notifications handling
To configure your react-native project to receive push notifications you must follow this guide for the Android platform.
#### Handling push notifications through javascript
For handling push notifications ( sent using the Realtime mobile push notifications REST API) we added the following event listener:
* RTPushNotificationListener(callBack: Function)
Example:
componentDidMount: function(){
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTCPushNotificationListener(this._onNotification);
},
_onNotification: function(data)
{
this._log("Received notification: " + JSON.stringify(data));
},
----------
##### RTConnect(config)
Connects the client to Realtime server with the given configuration.
Parameters
* appkey - Realtime application key
* token - Authentication token
* connectionMetadata - Connection metadata string
* clusterUrl or url - The Realtime Messaging cluster or server URL
* projectId - The GCM project number, only required for push notifications usage
Example:
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTEventListener("onConnected",function(){
console.log('Connected to Realtime Messaging');
}),
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTConnect(
{
appKey:this.state.appKey,
token:this.state.token,
connectionMetadata:this.state.connectionMetadata,
clusterUrl:this.state.clusterUrl
});
----------
##### RTDisconnect()

RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTEventListener("onDisconnect", function(){
console.log('Disconnected from Realtime Messaging');
}),
RCTRealtimeMessaging.RTDisconnect();

##### RTSubscribe(channel, subscribeOnReconnect: boolean)
Subscribes a pub/sub channel to receive messages.
Parameters
