I was able to integrate APNS in my app. Now I want to handle the notifications when the user taps it or when the user receives a notification while using the app. I use the code below to show an alert dialog when a notification is received:
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
// display the userInfo
if let notification = userInfo["aps"] as? NSDictionary,
let alert = notification["alert"] as? String {
var alertCtrl = UIAlertController(title: "Time Entry", message: alert as String, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alertCtrl.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: nil))
// Find the presented VC...
var presentedVC = self.window?.rootViewController
while (presentedVC!.presentedViewController != nil) {
presentedVC = presentedVC!.presentedViewController
}
presentedVC!.presentViewController(alertCtrl, animated: true, completion: nil)
// call the completion handler
// -- pass in NoData, since no new data was fetched from the server.
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResult.NoData)
}
}
Is it possible to run a function in my MainViewController instead of showing the dialog? I tried calling my function MainViewController.refreshData()
but it always gives me a nil
.
Yes it is possible by Posting and adding observer.
Use NSNotificationCenter to make it.
I am posting in Objective C code, try to convert to Swift.
@implementation AppDelegate
static void displayStatusChanged(CFNotificationCenterRef center, void *observer,
CFStringRef name, const void *object,
CFDictionaryRef userInfo) {
if (name == CFSTR("com.apple.springboard.lockcomplete")) {
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] setBool:YES
forKey:@"kDisplayStatusLocked"];
[[NSUserDefaults standardUserDefaults] synchronize];
}
}
- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
// Override point for customization after application launch.
CFNotificationCenterAddObserver(
CFNotificationCenterGetDarwinNotifyCenter(), NULL, displayStatusChanged,
CFSTR("com.apple.springboard.lockcomplete"), NULL,
CFNotificationSuspensionBehaviorDeliverImmediately);
return YES;
}
then paste this code in didRecieveRemoteNotification
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter]postNotificationName:@"TestNotification" object:self];
And in your MainViewController
- (void)viewDidLoad {
[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self
selector:@selector(receiveTestNotification:)
name:@"TestNotification"
object:nil];
}
- (void) receiveTestNotification:(NSNotification *) notification
{
if ([[notification name] isEqualToString:@"TestNotification"]) {
NSLog (@"Successfully received the test notification!");
//perform your operations
[self refreshData];
}
}
func application(application: UIApplication, didReceiveRemoteNotification userInfo: [NSObject : AnyObject], fetchCompletionHandler completionHandler: (UIBackgroundFetchResult) -> Void) {
// display the userInfo
if let notification = userInfo["aps"] as? NSDictionary,
let alert = notification["alert"] as? String {
var alertCtrl = UIAlertController(title: "Time Entry", message: alert as String, preferredStyle: UIAlertControllerStyle.Alert)
alertCtrl.addAction(UIAlertAction(title: "OK", style: UIAlertActionStyle.Default, handler: { (UIAlertAction) -> Void in
//Your Function call when you click Ok Button.
self.YourFunc()
}))
// Find the presented VC...
var presentedVC = self.window?.rootViewController
while (presentedVC!.presentedViewController != nil) {
presentedVC = presentedVC!.presentedViewController
}
presentedVC!.presentViewController(alertCtrl, animated: true, completion: nil)
// call the completion handler
// -- pass in NoData, since no new data was fetched from the server.
completionHandler(UIBackgroundFetchResult.NoData)
}
}
