I am developing an Android app in which i need to add one feature in which if there is any new file added by server in Mysql database it should notify on android app. What should I do for this? please help. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There are lot of solutions to resolve your demand.

1 Implementing push notifications Whenever a new file added, send a notification to your app with the download link so your app can download the appropriate file.

2 Implementing a background service (consume more battery) This service will check if there is a new file on server side every X times (for example 1 day)

Answer 2

The best way to do this would be via push messages. The standard way to do this on Android is via Google Cloud Messaging: http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html

Answer 3

I haven't ever tried it, but it seems like what you need is offered by Google Cloud Messaging. (http://developer.android.com/google/gcm/index.html)

It should let you push notifications to your Android App whenever you have uploaded a new file.
