From Nothing to Nirvana in Minutes: Cloud Backend for Your Android Application

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Shows how a one‑click Mobile Backend Starter deployed to App Engine pairs with a generated Cloud Endpoints client library, Maps V2, and Google Cloud Messaging so an Android app stores geo updates, receives push tickles, and draws other users’ markers via a Continuous Query (Prospective Search) pipeline. Demonstrates obtaining GCM server key, Android SHA1 client ID, suppressing OAuth consent, adding a custom logging endpoint, and that the demo app mostly works despite a couple of location/network glitches.
