iOS 8提供了一个令人兴奋的新API来创建交互式通知(interactive notifications),它能让你在你的应用之外为用户提供额外的功能。我发现网上还没有关于如何实现它的比较好的示例教程,所以我将在这篇文章里来实现一个简单的交互式通知示例,分享给大家。
为了创建交互式通知,需要iOS 8提供的3个新类:UIUserNotificationSettings, UIUserNotificationCategory, UIUserNotificationAction 以及它们的变体。
和以前简单地注册通知类型(sounds、banners、alerts)相比,现在你可以注册自定义的通知类别(categories)和动作(actions)。类别描述了应用自定义的通知类型,并且包含用户能够执行的响应动作。比如,你收到一个通知说某人在社交网上了关注了你,作为回应你可能会想要关注他或者忽略。
这里是一个非常简单的使用Objective-C编写的示例,演示如何注册一个包含两个动作的通知。

NSString * const NotificationCategoryIdent = @
"ACTIONABLE"
;
NSString * const NotificationActionOneIdent = @
"ACTION_ONE"
;
NSString * const NotificationActionTwoIdent = @
"ACTION_TWO"
;
- (void)registerForNotification {
UIMutableUserNotificationAction *action1;
action1 = [[UIMutableUserNotificationAction alloc] init];
[action1 setActivationMode:UIUserNotificationActivationModeBackground];
[action1 setTitle:@
"Action 1"
];
[action1 setIdentifier:NotificationActionOneIdent];
[action1 setDestructive:NO];
[action1 setAuthenticationRequired:NO];
UIMutableUserNotificationAction *action2;
action2 = [[UIMutableUserNotificationAction alloc] init];
[action2 setActivationMode:UIUserNotificationActivationModeBackground];
[action2 setTitle:@
"Action 2"
];
[action2 setIdentifier:NotificationActionTwoIdent];
[action2 setDestructive:NO];
[action2 setAuthenticationRequired:NO];
UIMutableUserNotificationCategory *actionCategory;
actionCategory = [[UIMutableUserNotificationCategory alloc] init];
[actionCategory setIdentifier:NotificationCategoryIdent];
[actionCategory setActions:@[action1, action2]
forContext:UIUserNotificationActionContextDefault];
NSSet *categories = [NSSet setWithObject:actionCategory];
UIUserNotificationType types = (UIUserNotificationTypeAlert|
UIUserNotificationTypeSound|
UIUserNotificationTypeBadge);
UIUserNotificationSettings *settings;
settings = [UIUserNotificationSettings settingsForTypes:types
categories:categories];
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerUserNotificationSettings:settings];
}

要发送这个通知类型,只需简单的将category添加到声明里。

"aps"
: {
"alert"
:
"Pull down to interact."
,
"category"
:
"ACTIONABLE"
}

现在为了响应用户选择的操作,你需要在UIApplicationDelegate协议添加两个新方法:

|
application:handleActionWithIdentifier:forLocalNotification:completionHandler:
application:handleActionWithIdentifier:forRemoteNotification:completionHandler:
|
用户从你的推送通知中选择一个动作后,该方法将会在后台被调用。

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application handleActionWithIdentifier:(NSString *)identifier forRemoteNotification:(NSDictionary *)userInfo completionHandler:(void (^)())completionHandler {
if
([identifier isEqualToString:NotificationActionOneIdent]) {
NSLog(@
"You chose action 1."
);
}
else
if
([identifier isEqualToString:NotificationActionTwoIdent]) {
NSLog(@
"You chose action 2."
);
}
if
(completionHandler) {
completionHandler();
}
}
|
如文档所述,通过标示符来判定是哪个动作被选中,最后调用completionHandler,即可大功告成。这里仅仅简单的演示了一下iOS 8 新通知API表面上的功能,今后我将更深入的研究一下,有机会再和大家分享。
