Trouble understanding json.encode with Corona SDK

Hi, I managed to get Pushes working straight away, thanks to your decent tutorials... Thjere's just one thing I can't get my head around.

In your Corona SDK LUA code, you have ' native.showAlert("Message from Geek-o-Meter", json.encode( launchArgs.notification ), { "OK" } )'

and

native.showAlert( "Message from Geek-o-Meter", json.encode( event ), { "OK" } )

...A launchArgs and a 'remote' identifier, which is great, but my Push is getting the whole event table passed to the notification event.

So my actual alert looks something like this:

{"badge":3,"type":"remote","name":"notification","custom":"sound":"default","alert":"THIS IS MY ACTUAL NOTIFICATION","applicationState":"inactive"}

In a nutshell, I'd just like to pass my message to the alert, without the extra table data/strings, but I don't know how to extrapolate the bits I need. Can you help?

Thanks

  Hi,

  This is just how Corona passes push notification to the app. Instead of passing json.encode(event), simply get the message you need from json payload. Something like:

  native.showAlert( "Message from Geek-o-Meter", event.alert, { "OK" } )
