<div dir="ltr"><div><font size="4">Hi Summers,<br>following your notes, I found some tutorials about hot to modify a plugin Java source code (and, againg, I'd like to thank you for this). Comparing them, I thought the best approach was to remove the plugin and after add it again (specifying this time in the “cordova plugin add” command a folder in my filesystem containing the plugin) after having modified the source code related to the bug fix. <br><br>Using aerogear cordova plugin forces me to do something similar trying to generate apk/ipa using Intel XDK environment because the build process does not like a reference to src/android/dependencies.gradle in plugin.xml file (so I have the remove the plugin, download it locally, hide the reference, then add the plugin again by specifying a local folder in Intel XDK interface).<br><br>The first question is: can I use my "new/modified" plugin “easily” or should I worry about some license violations? If you have suggested me to try myself to modify plugin behavior in order to fix the null pointer exception problem, can I presume I can use the plugin even after making it different from your baseline version?<br><br>Second point. I’m gonna describe the changes I’ve applied to the Java code, which are quite similar to what you told me with those links. It seems now the plugin works correctly but we'll continue to test it to be sure. May you confirm however this could be the right solution?<br><br>In <i>PushHandlerActivity.java</i> I modified the following source line:<br><br><i>Store<Message> store = DataManager.getStore("messageStore");</i><br><br>with these:<br><br><i>SQLStore<Message> store = (SQLStore<Message>)DataManager.getStore("messageStore");<br>if (store == null) {<br> store = (SQLStore<Message>) DataManager.config("messageStore", SQLStoreConfiguration.class).withContext(this.getApplicationContext()).store(Message.class);<br> store.openSync();<br>} <br></i><br>As you can see, I changed the store type from Store<Message> to SQLStore<Message> to alline it with the source code in NotificationMessageHandler.java. Moreover, because I needed a context object, I resolved the context by invoking <i>this.getApplicationContext()</i> (such it was an activity class). Just for completeness, I introduced the needed imports in the right section for SQLStore and SQLStoreConfiguration.<br>To avoid some other null pointer exception troubles, I added another not null check before cycling the message collection. Now the cycle starts if and only if collection is not null. <br><br><i>if(collection!=null){ for (Message message : collection){ ... .... } } </i><br><br>Do you think there’s something wrong or something I’ve not evaluated applying these changes? As usually, and before closing this mail, I’d like to thank you again: your help has been important to facilitate us some precious steps. Thanks so for all your support.<br><br></font></div><font size="4">Just a last thing. Let's image all these changes are correct; in some of your last messages you told me to send eventually a pull request. How can I do it?

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi, <br>
my name is Federico Cerminara, 35 years old, engineer and web developer in
Rome.<br>
I’m a beginner in cross platform app development and I’ve started using
aerogear cordova push plugin to enable reception of push notification. <br>
<br>
I’ve developed my first app. I’m able to receive correctly push notification,
both sending them directly by aerogear admin panel after choosing a variant and
and sending them from the application backend following a custom logic. If I
have my app closed or already open, clicking on push notification seems to
behave correctly, bringing user to application first page. Instead, if I try to
close all my applications after receiving one or more push notification (image
notification frequency is quite low) and then I try to click on my waiting
push, application crashes showing a message that sound quite like this “The
program <app_name> has been interrupted”</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Can you
tell me a way to solve this problem?<br>
Thanks anyway, Federico.</span></p>
