Hello, I would like to build a android smartphone application that receives data from a server on a regular basis and refresh screen You can see it as a "IBM slam tracker" for tennis grand slam results or a weather application ... whatever. Anyway, the goal is to have a server that send messages to several devices in a a way that looks like a continuous data flow or devices that request data from server but I think push is the more accurate way to do so ? I found a so called C2DM Framework that looks like what I expect but, according to google official documentation, google apply several limitations to the framework : - limit in the number of devices a server is able to contact - limit in the number of messages a server can send to the same device - 1ko limit for messages size - no further information the number of messages or devices, we just know that "there is a limit".
>From that point I have several questions : - do you confirm that the push architecture is the accurate way to achieve such a goal ? - do you know about the C2DM limitations ? - How do the existing applications based on continuous data flow works ? What is there most common architecture ? A last point is that if want to be able to control the devices allowed to access the server data and therefore I do not want something like RSS.
