Use new GCM push-notifications library #3

Closed irinagrigorescu closed 11 years ago

The GCM library has changed to a larger extent (providing new functionality as well).

The task is to update the library to its newest version and replace the old function calls in HomeActivity and GCMIntentService with the new ones (guide available here: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html)

We won't make use of this for now. New Google Cloud Messaging functionality referes mainly to the ability to send device-to-cloud messages and device-to-device messages and to use XMPP as a communication protocol between devices and our 3rd party server. This is enabled by installing the Google Play Services SDK.

Since we don't require these new types of functionality for the moment, we will rely on the existing GCM library (gcm.jar) in the Google Extras.
