Hello All. I am curious if anyone has had any luck segmenting push with channels using Parse? Subscribing to channels is easy on the Parse end but I need to find a way for the user to select what they want to receive pushes for. So a front end that when the user checks a box it subscribes them to a channel in push. Any thoughts??

@ridgerock You helped me months back with your tutorial for Android, but something at Parse.com seems to have changed, as of yesterday, I can't get seem to get Parse push to work on android for std push, let alone channels! Alan

Hey Alan, Add this code. That should fix it. PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(context, Activity.class);

Thanks @ridgerock, much appreciated - will give it a try.

Thanks for the tip @ridgerock, I just tried it. It made the difference! I added your suggestion with a minor mod - my main two lines are now PushService.subscribe(this, "", (Class<? extends Activity>) YourActivity.class); PushService.setDefaultPushCallback(this, Activity.class); Thing is, it seems that the apps I had previously published (which did not have the second line) no longer show the push (which was viewable in the system tray area), although I believe the apps still register OK with parse.com (from their console info). I haven't changed anything, so I wondered if parse have or if I was never doing things the correct way in the past? It's annoying as I have apps that will now need to be re-published in google play. Do you know how to make the alert pop up in the app?

Hello I am stuck trying to do the same thing ridgerock is trying to do and i dont know what to do. I need a way for the users to subscribe for certain channels. I used the example in the installation example on parse .com to create a channel. [currentInstallation addUniqueObject:@"Giants" forKey:@"channels"]; Now that the channel is created I need a way for the user to select if they want to subscribe to the channel. Can anyone help?

Hi @feraco, it sounds like you need to form some kind of json request that can be sent to Parse. I believe this can be done with JavaScript, but I am no guru. The best advice I can offer is to contact parse.com directly, I have found their tech support are very helpful and they may be able to offer an example. Alan
