Bee

Bee is a small library which use Baidu cloud message to implement real time chat

Principle and Goal

Baidu cloud platform support pushing message directly to a single end user if we know the userid and channelid. it's already provide sending transparent message (140 characters limit)

We simply use this channel as a container.we put our message into a JSON object,you can encrypt it or not. send it over Baidu cloud platform.the receiver use the same technologies to decode it back.

Usage

1. Add Bee library modules as dependency to your existing project.
2. If your project already in inheritance Application class.use BeeApplication instead.
3. Add secret_key and api_key into your Androidmainfest.xml file.

    <meta-data android:name="api_key" android:value="Your api_key" />
    <meta-data android:name="secret_key" android:value="Your secret_key" />

Simple Example

 public class MainActivity extends Activity {
    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

        final Bee bee = new Bee(this);
        bee.setRegisterCallback(new Bee.RegisterCallback() {

            @Override
            public void bind(String userId, String channelId) {
               ChatMessage message = new ChatMessage();
               message.setMessage("Hello forks,this message send from myself");
               message.setUser(id);
               bee.sendMessage(message, channelId, id);
            }
        });
        bee.init();
        bee.setOnReceiveMessageListener(new Bee.OnMessageReceiver() {
            @Override
            public void onMessage(Object object) {
                ChatMessage chatMessage = (ChatMessage) object;
                Log.i(TAG,"Receive message = " + chatMessage.getUser()+ " " + chatMessage.getMessage());
            }

            @Override
            public void onError() {
                Log.i(TAG,"Receive Error");
            }
        },new BeeMessage(ChatMessage.class));
 }

  public class ChatMessage {
      private String user;
      private String message;
  
      public String getUser() {
          return user;
      }
  
      public void setUser(String user) {
          this.user = user;
      }
  
      public String getMessage() {
          return message;
      }
  
      public void setMessage(String message) {
          this.message = message;
      }
  }
