How's this progressing?

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hey @ndizazzo, stumbled onto this module this morning and am really happy to see someone tackling this! How's the progress looking?

Let me know if there's anything I can offer to help. I'm not sure how helpful I'd be in porting the existing Android Parse SDK to fit into the Titanium module API (though I'm not against trying), but at minimum I'd be happy to help test/write some documentation.

Hey @adampash, thanks for reaching out... Right now, I'm in the beginning stages of development. I have a stubbed-out interface into the module from Appcelerator, and I'm in the process of modelling it after the module @ewindso has written, that is, implementing a singleton that bridges the module to the SDK. My goal is to minimize the differences in the module API so that each Appcelerator app doesn't have to maintain drastically different implementations for implementing Parse.

I have a specific few features that I want to complete first, those are:

  • push channel subscription
  • push channel unsubscription
  • Parse data objects.

After those, I was hoping some members of the community would to help fill out the rest, since there is no open-source Android Module that I can find right now.

Great, thanks for the heads up. I'm currently using TiParse (a Titanium-friendly version of the Parse JavaScript SDK), and it works well for the most part, but it lacks push registration and has some rough edges around Titanium's networking/http client.

I'll keep an eye on things in case there's anything I can help with. I don't have a lot of experience with Android/Java (I just wrote my first Android module yesterday), but I'd be happy to help if I can.
