custom notificaiton with remote views not showing
// Step 1: Create a RemoteViews object for the custom layout
val remoteViews = RemoteViews(packageName, R.layout.custom_notification_layout)
// Step 2: Set up any desired customizations to the RemoteViews
remoteViews.setImageViewResource(R.id.notification_icon, R.drawable.custom_icon)
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.notification_title, "Custom Title")
remoteViews.setTextViewText(R.id.notification_text, "Custom Text")
// Step 3: Create a PendingIntent for the notification
val notificationIntent = Intent(this, YourNotificationReceiver::class.java)
val pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, notificationIntent, 0)
// Step 4: Build the NotificationCompat Builder
val builder = NotificationCompat.Builder(this, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.notification_icon)
.setContent(remoteViews)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
// Step 5: Get the NotificationManager and show the notification
val notificationManager = getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE) as NotificationManager
notificationManager.notify(notificationId, builder.build())
Explanation:
1. Create RemoteViews: Initialize a RemoteViews object with the specified custom layout XML file to define the visual structure of the notification.
2. Customize RemoteViews: Use methods like setImageViewResource
and setTextViewText
to modify the content of the RemoteViews with custom images and text.
3. Create PendingIntent: Generate a PendingIntent to handle the user's interaction with the notification (e.g., launching an activity when the notification is clicked).
4. Build NotificationCompat Builder: Create a NotificationCompat.Builder instance, specifying the small icon, content (using the RemoteViews created earlier), and the PendingIntent.
5. Display Notification: Retrieve the NotificationManager and use its notify
method to display the notification by passing the notification ID and the built notification from the builder.
