[android-developers] Proper way to setup app to notify user(if opt in) when new items are added to database

So working on a app that will list inventory items for a few users.. IF the user opts to be notified, what is the proper way to implement such notifications? The app works via a webservice that allows the entry of items and also returns full list to the user when they select to view. What

[android-developers] Android: Google drive integration, what is “com.google.android.gms.version”?

My application integrates with Google Drive using the old api, it does not include Google's library project (instead it includes a bunch of jars like 'google-api-client-1.12.0-beta.jar', 'google-api-services-drive-v2-rev59-1.12.0-beta.jar', etc...). This causes an issue because this line in
