I am trying to use both BigTextStyle and BigPictureStyle in my notification.But setStyle accepts only one style.
My code:
NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigTextStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle();
mBuilder.setVisibility(1);
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.app_icon1);
mBuilder.setContentTitle(title.toString());
bigTextStyle.bigText(description.toString());
//mBuilder.setSubText(bigText.toString());
if (bigImage != null && !bigImage.toString().equals("")) {
mBuilder.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigPictureStyle().bigPicture(ImageUtil.getBitmapFromUrl(bigImage.toString())));
}
mBuilder.setStyle(bigTextStyle);
mBuilder.setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(contentIntent);
How can i use both ?. I want to show text(with line breaks) along with the image!
Sorry for late reply..Actually i was also faced the same problem and got the solution, so i am thinking that it can help for other user.
As we can NOT use the both BigTextStyle
and BigPictureStyle
method of the NotificationCompat.Builder
than we can create the CustomView
.
We can use the setCustomBigContentView(RemoteViews)
method of NotificationCompat.Builder
and create our own view to show the Big Image with Big text.
Please check the below code for it:-
PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, (int) System.currentTimeMillis(), i,
PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);
Uri defaultSoundUri = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
NotificationCompat.Builder notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
notificationBuilder.setContentTitle("YOUR_APP_NAME");
notificationBuilder.setContentText(body);
notificationBuilder.setTicker("YOUR_APP_NAME");
notificationBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
notificationBuilder.setSound(defaultSoundUri);
notificationBuilder.setCustomBigContentView(remoteView("YOUR_MESSAGE_TO_SHOW"));///IT IS THE MAIN METHOD WHICH WE USE TO INFLATE OR CREATE THE CUSTOM VIEW
notificationBuilder.setSmallIcon(getNotificationIcon(notificationBuilder));
notificationBuilder.setContentIntent(pendingIntent);
NotificationManager notificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notificationManager.notify((int) System.currentTimeMillis(), notificationBuilder.build());
Below is the RemoteViews which we have called from our setCustomBigContentView()
method
private RemoteViews remoteView(String message)
{
RemoteViews views;
views = new RemoteViews(getPackageName(), R.layout.YOUR_LAYOUT_HERE);
views.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.YOUR_BIG_IMAGE_ID_FROM_LAYOUT, bitmap);
views.setImageViewBitmap(R.id.YOUR_APP_ID_FROM_LAYOUT, BitmapFactory.decodeResource(getResources(), R.drawable.APP_ICON_OF_YOUR_APP));
views.setTextViewText(R.id.YOUR_BIG_TEXTVIEW_ID_FROM_LAYOUT, message);
return views;
}
I have created the custom notification like it
