Hi there!

I am interested in forking/modifying this Android app such that I could use my own Firebase account and/or my own server to do the push notifications. I am hoping you could help me with this.

I am just looking for a head start, I don't need you to walk me through it. Just a quick overview of what API I need on my own server (instead of your alertR.de server) and what needs changed in the alertR Android app (presumably it is hard-coded to your Firebase account).

This is great work! Thank you!

The app could be used to remotely monitor and control the AlertR system.

Unfortunately, the app has to be started all the time. If it is terminated and a notification gets send to your device, the app will show you the following message: "Application Error" "Messages can only be handled if app is started.". The reason for this is that I do not know how to store the notification into the same file as the others when the context of the application is destroyed. I am new to Android development and did not find anything in this direction. I opened a Stackoverflow question a while ago but did not get any response. If you know how I can tackle this problem, please let me know (or if you know an Android developer that can answer this question).

The only "quick" solution I saw was to make the file in which the notifications are stored read/writable by everyone. This way the service is allowed to write to the same file. But this is not really a solution for the problem because any other app on the device can also access the notifications this way.

Cheers,
sqall

Hello,

Is it possible to clear the message history in the Android app? I couldn't find anything related to that. Am I missing something?

Thanks
