I'm trying to create a custom notification for my android app using this post, and I stumbled upon a problem which I tried to resolve for the last 2 hours.
Only the imageview of my layout shows, and I can't figure out how to make it works like intended.
My code:
package be.ac.ucl.lfsab1509.cumulus.services;
import android.app.Notification;
import android.app.PendingIntent;
import android.content.Intent;
import android.support.v4.app.NotificationCompat;
import android.support.v4.app.TaskStackBuilder;
import android.widget.RemoteViews;
import be.ac.ucl.lfsab1509.cumulus.R;
import be.ac.ucl.lfsab1509.cumulus.activities.MainActivity;
import be.ac.ucl.lfsab1509.cumulus.entities.Song;
public class CumulusNotification {
private CumulusService mCtx;
private CumulusMediaPlayer mPlayer;
private Notification mNotification;
private NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder;
private RemoteViews mContentView;
public CumulusNotification(CumulusService ctx, CumulusMediaPlayer player){
mCtx = ctx;
mPlayer = player;
mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(
mCtx);
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_stat_cumulus_notification);
//mBuilder.setContentTitle("Cumulus is playing");
//mBuilder.setTicker("Cumulus");
//mBuilder.setContentText(mCtx.getCurrentSong().title());
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(mCtx, MainActivity.class);
resultIntent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK
| Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
resultIntent.setAction(Intent.ACTION_MAIN);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(mCtx);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(MainActivity.class);
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent = stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
mContentView = new RemoteViews(mCtx.getPackageName(), R.layout.statusbar);
mContentView.setImageViewResource(R.id.notifimage, R.drawable.cumulus_icon);
mContentView.setTextViewText(R.id.notiftitle, "Custom notification");
mContentView.setTextViewText(R.id.notiftext, "This is a custom layout");
mBuilder.setContent(mContentView);
}
public void startNotification() {
mNotification = mBuilder.build();
//mNotification.contentView = mContentView;
mCtx.startForeground(R.integer.NOTIFICATION_ID, mNotification);
}
public void updateSong(Song song){
mBuilder.setContentText(song.title());
mNotification = mBuilder.build();
mCtx.startForeground(R.integer.NOTIFICATION_ID, mNotification);
}
}
The xml file:
android:id="@+id/layout"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:padding="10dp"
android:gravity="left" >
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
android:layout_marginRight="10dp" />
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/notifimage" />
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_toRightOf="@id/notifimage"
android:layout_below="@id/notiftitle" />
Thanks for the help
