Android notification

EndrII 0

Hi
I want to add notifications to my application written to qml.

I studied the example and created the same for myself, the application is successfully compiled, but when I try to show the notification it falls.

Here is the console output:

Hi!

I'm having the exact same problem. Did you solve this?

@EndrII-0 I don't know if it will change anything, but I would do it like this, to ensure it will run on main thread:

void AndroidPlayer::setNotification(QString notification) {
    if (m_notification == notification)
        return;

    m_notification = notification;
    QtAndroid::runOnAndroidThread([notification] {
        auto javaString = QAndroidJniObject::fromString(notification);
        QAndroidJniObject::callStaticMethod<void>("org.quasarapp.sounband.NotificationClient",
                                           "notify",
                                           "(Ljava/lang/String;)V",
                                           javaString.object());        
    });
}

Or if you only want to show a toast notification:

void AndroidPlayer::showToast(const QString &message, bool shortTime)
{
    const int duration(shortTime ? 0 : 1);
    QtAndroid::runOnAndroidThread([message, duration] {
        auto javaString = QAndroidJniObject::fromString(message);
        auto toast = QAndroidJniObject::callStaticObjectMethod(
                    "android/widget/Toast",
                    "makeText",
                    "(Landroid/content/Context;Ljava/lang/CharSequence;I)Landroid/widget/Toast;",
                    QtAndroid::androidActivity().object(),
                    javaString.object(),
                    jint(duration)
                    );
        toast.callMethod<void>("show");
    });

}

@adddeeee @EndrII-0 , there is an open source (MIT licence) on github which could help you to solve your problem.
Take a look at QtAndroidTools

adddeeee

Thanks! I think I have that code implemented.

I'm starting to think something's wrong with where I place the icon itself.

Where do you place the icon?

@adddeeee I never used Notification on Android, so I can't reply to your question.
I don't think you are using same code a QtAndroidTools, because there is a C++ wrapper around all Android/JNI stuff which seems to made it quiet simple to use.. Take a look at the documentation: https://falsinsoft.github.io/QtAndroidTools/Documentation/#Notification

No, that's true. I'm using the same code as in the Qt Notifier example.

Please have a look in this thread where I'm posting my code:
