    <p>Working on a social app that has alot of the standard social networking features such as friend requests, private messages and comments and im in need of a real time or near real time notification system. Ive looked into GCM a bit and done a few tuts.</p> <p>My question is how should my server side be structured ? what is the standard pattern when it comes to implementing a near realtime social notification system? Ive found lots of tuts that focus on just getting GCM up and running , but how a system overall should be structured is still vague. For simplicity lets use a private messaging system as a example, from what ive gathered it seems that the way it goes is:</p> <ul> <li>User A Types message >></li> <li>User A hits submit >></li> <li>Message is sent from the client to the server to be processed by the API >></li> <li>Message reaches API where its processed using the sendMessage function >></li> <li>Inside the sendMessage function the message is validated and written to the db >></li> <li>Inside the sendMessage function if(message_inserted_into_db){ send notification to GCM}</li> <li>Code is setup on the Android client side to retrieve notifications from GCM</li> </ul> <p>Am I missing any other steps? Are there any other things that should trigger sending notifications? Should i use push exclusively or a combination of push and poll?</p> <p>Id like to make it very clear I AM NOT CONFUSED ABOUT HOW TO IMPLEMENT GCM ON A TECHNICAL LEVEL...so please do not post a link to the google documentation. </p>

    1. COLooks like you have a pretty good idea here. Have you implemented a working system yet? If not, my advice would be just to do it already. It is pretty dead simple (thanks google!)

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
