Unable to deploy Android App Engine project in Google App Engine

Question

I am creating one smile app in Android + Google App Engine in eclipse. I am trying to deploy this application in Google App Engine, but it shows an error message

Log Code:

Failed to update: com.google.appengine.tools.admin.HttpIoException: error message in URL: https://appengine.google.com/api/appversion/getresourcelimits?app_id=AppEngineTest2&version=1& 400 Bad Request

Client Error (400) The request is invalid for an unspecified reason.

Anyone has a simple example (with source code) of Android + Google App Engine (c2dm), please share it.

Answer 1

I ran into the same problem as you and solved it as follows:

• Before downloading, you first need to create the application in the App Engine Administration Console (see https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/java/gettingstarted/uploading )

• Check your app id. The application identifier must be between 6 and 30 characters. Only lowercase letters, numbers, and hyphens (-) are valid characters. Leading and trailing hyphens are prohibited. - this means that Uppercase letters are not allowed .

• appengine-web.xml needs the same application identifier with which you created your application in the admin console. Put this application identifier between the <application> .

• You can now deploy the application using Eclipse

Answer 2

I found this recently as an Eclipse or Google App Engine plugin bug. Make sure that you correctly specify the application identifier in appengine-web.xml. This should be AppEngineTest2, not a URL (AppEngineTest2.appspot.com).
