Those would be really useful for some of us, who are not able to get our own servers running - I am pretty sure it's because of differences in the meteord.conf. Also, thanks for the project. What a great resource! Keep up the good work. I think Clayton means your server instance config files.

These benchmarks would make a great case for using Meteor+Deacon over other choices. Can't wait to see them. Hi Dave,

Glad to know that the tests are back on! These benchmarks would make a great case for using Meteor+Deacon over other choices. Can’t wait to see them.

Yes i know threading model in this and another platforms. No problem about it. For that reason i wanted more documentation, because there are some examples in the www that uses Deacon push events directly in the activity and this doesn't work now. I am working about what is the method more simply and effective for custom push. Mqtt an Deacon for the moment i have in mind. Great work. Thank you in advance. Juanjo Thanks Dave.

This is true of any Service/Activity interaction in Android, not just Deacon. Using RunOnUIThread method is one way to get around this; another way is the Message/Handler mechanism. <strong>Please direct future questions to the Deacon mailing list: http://groups.google.com/group/deaconproject</strong> Juanjo – The problem you’re experiencing is due to a requirement that Android user interface classes (i.e. Activity) and their members can only be touched from the thread that created them.

Do you have more documentation or examples about the use of the MeteorPushReceiver events and the restrictions for their use in the main thread?

When i start one application, any of the events onPush, OnError ..... launchs one exception ($CalledFromWrongThreadException: Only the original thread that created a view hierarchy can touch its views.) In theese events i'm trying update one simple TextView. I'm using MeteorPushReceiver class instead deprecated Deacon class. ¿Can you help me please? I’m not sure what is wrong.

I've just discovered push notification and wrote an android app to test reliability. Sadly Google's C2DM service is not adeqate for my new app. After seeing test results from one 'public' service I decided to omit the thought of using any of them and look for something I can host here. Deacon looks very promising and Dave has done some great work with it over the years. I can't wait to dig in! Great video.

I am a small time android developer (pretty much stupid/noob) and i was tinkering with you project a few days back and was able to send a message from a php page to the meteor server and then to my emulator (also worked in my phone). The feeling was very liberating and thanks to you guys here is the video link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KabgdaOGXA . I am actually trying to figure out between meteor and mqtt for push platforms. I have zero knowledge on server technologies though so probing my way through brilliant projects such as yours. I am wondering how things will scale up or will it be possible to a have a few meteor clusters with some type of fail safe mechanism and balancing. One more thing just to add to your answer about the service in Android , it will most likely be killed by the Android when there is resource crunch so it should may be started with START_STICKY so that Android restarts the service when resources permit. Any ways thanks again for your effort learnt a lot . Need to understand meteor more Cool Stuff.
