Android C2DM Registration fails INVALID_PARAMETERS

Question

Hi I have done all things right, got all permissions right, signed_up my application. I even get a response from google when I call the com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER. Is there something wrong with the google servers? I only got a mail From: noreply@google.com, Subject: AC2DM invitation.

• Do I need another activation mail? I signed up the form one day ago...

• Is there anyway to test the google c2dm side?

  Intent registrationIntent = new Intent("com.google.android.c2dm.intent.REGISTER");
  registrationIntent.putExtra("app", PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 0, new Intent(), 0));
  registrationIntent.putExtra("sender", "mail@gmail.com");
  this.startService(registrationIntent);

To answer your 2 questions:

• Do I need another activation mail? I signed up the form one day ago...

  You do not need another activation mail. If you read your email carefully, it doesn't guarantee that it will work within a day (took mine almost 2 full days to work).

  Per the email: ... and you should be able to start using it to send messages to Android 2.2 devices within the next day or so.

• Is there anyway to test the google c2dm side?

  Trying to register your application is the best way to test it. If you receive a response in your receiver's onReceive function, it means that Google's server-side is working fine.
