I'm trying to use the new notifications interface. I've added 3 buttons to the notifications, and I want to save something to my database once each of them is clicked.
The notification itself works well and is shown when called, I just don't know how to capture each of the three different button clicks.
I'm using a BroadcastReceiver
to catch the clicks, but I don't know how to tell which button was clicked.
This is the code of AddAction
(I've excluded the rest of the notification, as its working well) -
//Yes intent
Intent yesReceive = new Intent();
yesReceive.setAction(CUSTOM_INTENT);
Bundle yesBundle = new Bundle();
yesBundle.putInt("userAnswer", 1);//This is the value I want to pass
yesReceive.putExtras(yesBundle);
PendingIntent pendingIntentYes = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, yesReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.calendar_v, "Yes", pendingIntentYes);
//Maybe intent
Intent maybeReceive = new Intent();
maybeReceive.setAction(CUSTOM_INTENT);
Bundle maybeBundle = new Bundle();
maybeBundle.putInt("userAnswer", 3);//This is the value I want to pass
maybeReceive.putExtras(maybeBundle);
PendingIntent pendingIntentMaybe = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, maybeReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.calendar_question, "Partly", pendingIntentMaybe);
//No intent
Intent noReceive = new Intent();
noReceive.setAction(CUSTOM_INTENT);
Bundle noBundle = new Bundle();
noBundle.putInt("userAnswer", 2);//This is the value I want to pass
noReceive.putExtras(noBundle);
PendingIntent pendingIntentNo = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, noReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.calendar_x, "No", pendingIntentNo);
This is the code of the BroadcastReceiver
-
public class AlarmReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
Log.v("shuffTest","I Arrived!!!!");
//Toast.makeText(context, "Alarm worked!!", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show();
Bundle answerBundle = intent.getExtras();
int userAnswer = answerBundle.getInt("userAnswer");
if(userAnswer == 1)
{
Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed YES");
}
else if(userAnswer == 2)
{
Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed NO");
}
else if(userAnswer == 3)
{
Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed MAYBE");
}
}
}
I've registered the BroadcastReceiver
in the Manifest.
Also, I want to mention that the BroadcastReceiver
is called when I click one of the buttons in the notification, but the intent always includes an extra of '2'.
This is the notifcation iteslf -
It's because you're using FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT with Intents that have the same action
From the docs:
if the described PendingIntent already exists, then keep it but its replace its extra data with what is in this new Intent.
When you specify pendingIntentMaybe
and pendingIntentNo
, the system uses the PendingIntent
created for pendingIntentYes
, but it overwrites the extras. Thus, all three variables refer to the same object, and the last extras specified were for pendingIntentNo
.
You should specify an alternative action for each Intent
. You can still have one BroadcastReceiver
, and just have it intercept all three actions. This would be less confusing semantically as well :)
Your Notification poster:
//Yes intent
Intent yesReceive = new Intent();
yesReceive.setAction(YES_ACTION);
PendingIntent pendingIntentYes = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, yesReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.calendar_v, "Yes", pendingIntentYes);
//Maybe intent
Intent maybeReceive = new Intent();
maybeReceive.setAction(MAYBE_ACTION);
PendingIntent pendingIntentMaybe = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, maybeReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.calendar_question, "Partly", pendingIntentMaybe);
//No intent
Intent noReceive = new Intent();
noReceive.setAction(NO_ACTION);
PendingIntent pendingIntentNo = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, noReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);
mBuilder.addAction(R.drawable.calendar_x, "No", pendingIntentNo);
Your receiver:
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
String action = intent.getAction();
if(YES_ACTION.equals(action)) {
Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed YES");
} else if(MAYBE_ACTION.equals(action)) {
Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed NO");
} else if(NO_ACTION.equals(action)) {
Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed MAYBE");
}
}
