    "device_id": "a54eb38370070a1b",
    "registration_id": "....goes here..."

produces

stack:

what am I doing wrong?

It must have something to do with the device_id. It is stored using the HexIntegerField, and to be honest I'm not sure why. Try omitting the device_id and see if that works. You only need the registration_id in order to send GCM messages.

Are you using the django rest framework implementation in the lib or your own? I am not seeing the errors using the exact stack, but I had implemented my own DRF support before it was added to this app.

[dmitry-saritasa]

DRF, not my own - default installation of the package as per documentation and adding URLs to urls.py of the app

The number you supplied is 11911655441543137819, the max value for a BIGINT in postgres is 9223372036854775807. There should be a validation check that fails more gracefully that the error you are seeing.

[dmitry-saritasa]

Probably better to store as string instead of bigint?

[jamaalscarlett]

Where are you getting the value from?

[dmitry-saritasa]

from android SDK

[jamaalscarlett]

which function?
