How to schedule a java code having messageArrived method of MqttCallback

I am new in MQTT world. I have written a code to subscribe a topic and get message from topic and store it in database. Now my problem is how to put this code on server so that it will keep receiving message infinitely. I am trying to create a scheduler but in that case i am Getting Persistence Already in Use error from MQTT. I cannot change the clientId every time it connect. It is a fixed one in my case. Is there any way to get the persistence object which is already connected for a particular clientId?
Please help. Thanks and advance.
Please Find the code subscribe topic and messageArrived method of mqqt to get message from topic

Unable to start intent service gcm

Note:This is not a duplication or spammming since i have checked whole lot of searches.
Im currently developing an gcm integrated application and when i run on my emulator,it shows :
04-13 00:07:23.814: W/ActivityManager(366): Unable to start service

My code is not similar to searches in here as I followed this tutorial https://github.com/erikswed/InstaChatX
In this tutorial,there are only 4 gcm client class,gcmbroadcast receiver,Gcm Util,Server Utilities and Constants.In those 4 classes havent mentioned about intent and in android manifest files also dont have permission:

Tomcat 7 Openshift web socket application | socket connection closing

Question is quite basic . I am following a tutorial on creating a chat application using tomcat7 . Everything works fine on localhost but as i deploy it on openshift it doesn't seem to be creating a socket connection .
link to the uploaded website is here : http://qabchat-survey987.rhcloud.com
Java Script file is given bellow which is responsible for sending and receiving messages between client and server
var sessionId = '';
// name of the client

I can not seem to figure out why the code is not working on openshift while it works just fine on localhost . Name of the main root directory of the project in openshift is qabchat.
I ran a simple test found out that after the onopen() function in javascript file , onclose() function is being called .

Google GCM XMPP code samples

So, Google used to have a nice page where they gave code sample on how to implement a GCM Xmpp server on this page:
https://developers.google.com/cloud-messaging/ccs
I had bookmarked this answer anytime I wanted to view the implementation
Confused about Google GCM XMPP
But everything linked from in that answer is gone. Google deleted them.
But now, they have removed everything, and added a page that just explains what it does. Sure, but the sample java code would be nice. I tried to go to the sample site on github that they link to
https://github.com/google/gcm
but it only provides samples of HTTP GCM server version.
Can somebody point me to a working code sample please? Or Is there a library out there that would work with c# at all? if not, I would just settle with the java version too.
Thanks.

Here is one I wrote for a class example (with some non-XMPP parts deleted to keep it small enough so I can post the code, but have the full server at http://people.eku.edu/styere/GcmPushServer.java):

org.json.JSONException: No value for id - IMPOSSIBLE TO SOLVE

http://www.androidhive.info/2014/10/android-building-group-chat-app-using-sockets-part-2/
Hi,
This is a tutorial about building a group chat app using socket programming. This app allows us to chat between multiple devices like android mobiles and web.
I want to send more than one "String" at a time to the server. I'm having trouble figuring that out.
The link to the tutorial where I downloaded the code is pasted above. I've already made the dynamic web page and I have it hosted on eapps.com At the very bottom of the this email is the edited code for the app. If you click the link above, you can see how I changed it.
The way it works is..
A web socket is created using WebSocketClient class and it has all the callback methods like onConnect, onMessage and onDisconnect.
In onMessage method parseMessage() is called to parse the JSON received from the socket server.
In parseMessage() method, the purpose of JSON is identified by reading the flag value.
When a new message is received, the message is added to list view data source and adapter.notifyDataSetChanged() is called to update the chat list.
sendMessageToServer() method is used to send the message from android device to socket server.
playBeep() method is called to play device’s default notification sound whenever a new message is received.​
When you click the btnSend. it uses this method from the UtilsXd class. I've changed it a little in an attempt to pass an extra value.
public String getSendMessageJSONXD(String message, String whichPicIndex) {
String json = null;
try {
JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject();
jObj.put("flag", FLAG_MESSAGE);
jObj.put("sessionId", getSessionId());
jObj.put("message", message);
jObj.put("id", id);
json = jObj.toString();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return json;
}
First of all, what I still don't understand is, where did the values for
String sessionId = jObj.getString("sessionId");
and
String onlineCount = jObj.getString("onlineCount");​
from this method
private void parseMessage(final String msg, String idINDEX) {
come from.
They were't added in the JSON object created in the UtilsXD class so how are they created?
That's not the problem I'm having. This is.
superString is the value I want to pass to dictate which picture to show.
superString = (sharedPrefs.getString("prefSyncAvatar", "1"));​
You can change your picture in from the settings.
When a message is received, a switch/case statement changes the picture of/ for the message received according to the value passed by superString.
I should be able to sit there and just receive messages, and whatever number the user passes, the profilePicture should be set according to that number.
Here's where the problem begins.
This constructer builds a message based of the message that's just been parsed.
// Message m = new Message(fromName, message, isSelf);
Message m = new Message(fromName, message, isSelf, id, name,
image, status, profilePic, timeStamp, url);
In this method.
private void parseMessage(final String msg, String idINDEX) {
I can pass an value to the string "id" excluding the JSON I need it to.
String id = idINDEX;​
this works,
String id = "0";
this works,
String id = utils.getPictureId();
this works,
String id = jObj.getString("id");
This doesn't work.
This is the error I'm getting.
org.json.JSONException: No value for id (this is the issue)
I've added the key/value pair
jObj.put("id", id);
in
public String getSendMessageJSONXD(String message, String whichPicIndex) {​
but it's not coming though to the message.
Here's where I think the problem is.
The method onMessage, isn't can't take an extra parameter because it's from a library project. And I can't find that method to make a new constructor.

This is the JSONutilty method I changed.

This is the method that is being used by SocketServer. I can successfully send a message from this activity, to the utility method to send over the network.
// Normal chat conversation message
json = jsonUtils //
.getSendAllMessageJson(sessionId, name, message, "5");
How can I retrieve a value sent over the network to place in spot where I have "5" instead of hard coding it?
Thanks!!!

jobj doesn't have the value id. Example of the JSON object looks like this:
{
"message": " joined conversation!",
"flag": "new",
"sessionId": "4",
"name": "Ravi Tamada",
"onlineCount": 6
}
(as shown in the part1 of the same tutorial).
That solves the first issue of onlineCount and sessionId.

Thanks #miselking, you where correct, The server was missing the JSON string "id". To actually solve the problem of post.
"I want to send more than one "String" at a time to the server. I'm having trouble figuring that out."
This is how you do it.
Step 1)
Adding the string photoId to the method
public String getSendAllMessageJson(String sessionId, String fromName,
String message, String photoId) {
String json = null;
try {
JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject();
jObj.put("flag", FLAG_MESSAGE);
jObj.put("sessionId", sessionId);
jObj.put("name", fromName);
jObj.put("message", message);
jObj.put("id", photoId);
json = jObj.toString();
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
return json;
}
}
Step 2)
Add the string to the correct sting to the method.
String json = null;
json = jsonUtils
.getSendAllMessageJson(sessionId, name, message,
photoId);
Step 3) Parse the JSON
try {
JSONObject jObj = new JSONObject(message);
msg = jObj.getString("message");
photoId = jObj.getString("id");
} catch (JSONException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
