#Welcome to the hungr wiki!

The mobile application being developed here will facilitate better, a way for food vendors* to connect to their customers and vice versa.

As the first step of this mobile application:

Team uForage has utilized the parse framework to began development of the hungr app. Preliminary development process involved us building the application in Android (JAVA). The first feature we have set off on leverages Push Notifications.

As noted in the: Parse Android Tutorial

"Push notifications let your application notify a user of new messages or events even when the user is not actively using your application. On Android devices, when a device receives a push notification, your application's icon and a message appear in the status bar. When the user taps the notification, they are sent to your application. Notifications can be broadcast to all users, such as for a marketing campaign, or sent to just a subset of users, to give personalized information."

To achieve this, we have completed a number of steps that includes:

Registering for the Push Service

Setting Permissions

Adding Parse API Keys

Enable Push Notifications

Send a Test Push Notification
