Android - Parse deviceToken different from deviceToken in .getInstallationId();

Question

I want to save the deviceToken I have in Parse to a User in my database with my Rest Api.

However when I try to get the deviceToken within my Android code it looks like this:

0d0082b0-2ba7-41de-835b-3e01v8d5c6ae

But in the Parse.com -> Core it looks like this:

APA91bFncivC9Q5sOvIiv-MUTtIjrHnrq0S5MIS_Zfd6SWGR0p2O--Ih2AAJI7THsEXqiPyRHnYjSlZ9foc81fOksmzuAKfVznJ6m1kBFmMxE5otxS58KT7WuOO6UZ2qg_IYp_cwIt_2

To retrive the deviceToken in android I use this code:

String deviceToken = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().getInstallationId();

that returns 0d0082b0-2ba7-41de-835b-3e01v8d5c6ae

Answer 1

Installation ids are not the same as device tokens. In order to get the device token, you have to use:

String deviceToken = ParseInstallation.getCurrentInstallation().getString("deviceToken");
