I'm developing an application for android 2.3.3. I am showing a notification but the text of this notification is too long and its not showing the full text and its being cut so how can I show my full text in my notification?
Here's the code:
String message = "Tonights Taraweeh consists of Alif Lam Mim and the first quarter of Sayaqul. The Surahs covered are Al-Fatiha(The Opening),and the first two-thirds of Al-Baqara(The Cow).";
Notification notification = new Notification();
notification.setLatestEventInfo(context, title, message, contentIntent);
Expanded notifications are only available from Android 4.1, read here
Android 2.3.3 uses the old notifications without expansion. You must user a shorter text, cut your text (and show the full text when user click on it) or adapt the text if you are showing the notification in Android 4.1 or older.
I short you have to set the BigTextStyle
Notification notification = new NotificationCompat.Builder(context, CHANNEL_ID)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
.setContentTitle(emailObject.getSenderName())
.setContentText(emailObject.getSubject())
.setLargeIcon(emailObject.getSenderAvatar())
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(__BigTextHere___))
.build();

I've read about the notification badge icon here, but it is bound to a notification:
var notification = NotificationCompat.Builder(this#MainActivity, CHANNEL_ID)
.setContentTitle("New Messages")
.setContentText("You've received 3 new messages.")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_notify_status)
.setNumber(messageCount)
.build()
Is there a way to change the count of the app badge icon to a customized number without showing a notification?
Yes, according to that documentation you can customize the badge count on Adroid 8.0 and higher (API 26+) and you already have it in your code;
.setNumber(messageCount)
messageCount is your customized number. Is this not working?
Account details on Mixpanel:
maaz.shaikh#bwellthy.com
Notification text: Hey {{USER_NICK_NAME}}, you can check your HbA1c test result by clicking on it, then click GET STARTED to start your journey with us.
Notification custom packet: { "mp_icnm_l": "app_logo", "mp_icnm_w": "notification_logo", "mp_color": "#FF7531", "sound": "yes", "vibrate": "yes"}
The notification pops up on android device like this, but does not enlarge on dragging it downwards
I am using the latest release of Mixpanel(v5.2.1) in the Android code.
Mixpanel is using BigStyle Text notifications in their library, so ideally the single line notification on dragging should enlarge on dragging it.
Can you tell me the possible reason for this?
Use BigTextStyle for setting big text in notification.
Notification notification = new Notification.Builder(mContext)
.setContentTitle("New mail from " + sender.toString())
.setContentText(subject)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
.setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
.setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(aVeryLongString))
.build();
Problem
When using the android emulator coming with Android studio 2.2.3, a notification is displayed in the status bar just for a barely noticeable moment, then it disappears. When using a real device, the code works as expected - the icon remains visible in the status bar.
The code
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
Notification n = new Notification.Builder(this)
.setContentIntent(null)
.setContentTitle("Title")
.setContentText("Text")
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_alert)
.setAutoCancel(false)
.build();
nm.notify(12345, n);
Any ideas?
It is because setPriority() by default is PRIORITY_DEFAULT = 0.
If you setPriority(Notification.PRIORITY_MAX). Then the notification will be visible for couple of seconds before hiding.
As the priority increases significance of attention to notification increases.
Just wondering how is your device behaving otherwise.
My Android Application has to be able to send short alerts out to a large group of people. The obvious place to do this is in the notification center. The full notification shows up in the ticker without a problem, but in the notification center a user can only see the first couple words and then an elipsis. The notifications are not long at all, just 10-15 words at the most. How can I make the text wrap down to a new line?
My code to build the notifications is here
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.splash)
.setContentTitle("Student Engauge")
.setContentText(extras.getString("message"))
.setAutoCancel(true)
.setTicker(extras.getString("message"));
final int notificationId = 1;
NotificationManager nm = (NotificationManager) getApplicationContext()
.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
nm.notify(notificationId, mBuilder.build());
To show large chunk of text, use the BigTextStyle. Here is a sample code as given in BigTextStyle. This notification will one line of text and will expand to more lines if needed.
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder()
.setContentTitle("New mail from " + sender.toString())
.setContentText(subject)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
.setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
.setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(aVeryLongString))
.build();
For android support library
Notification noti = new Notification.Builder()
.setContentTitle("New mail from " + sender.toString())
.setContentText(subject)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail)
.setLargeIcon(aBitmap)
.setStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle()
.bigText(aVeryLongString))
.build();
For Android 4.1 and later devices, big view is the most suitable solution to show large amount of text. For pre 4.1 devices, you can use custom notification layout to show more data like mentioned here. But you should keep in mind two things:
From the official documentation
Caution: When you use a custom notification layout, take special care to ensure that your custom layout works with different device orientations and resolutions. While this advice applies to all View layouts, it's especially important for notifications because the space in the notification drawer is very restricted. Don't make your custom layout too complex, and be sure to test it in various configurations.
Custom notification layouts have some limitations. Too long texts are not shown fully, but 10-15 words probably fit to the custom layout. This answer has more info about the limitation of custom notification layouts
I have a notification that contains a small amount of text but it still to big for it to be displayed in the notification bar so it is abbreviated. The only solution I've found it to make a custom notification but it seems a bit overkill for what I am trying to do.
Can I make the notification scrolling text or expand the notification text area so it will show the full text not just the first few words of it?
I currently call the notification with:
private void triggerNotification() {
Notification notification = new Notification(R.drawable.ic_launcher,
"Title", System.currentTimeMillis());
notification.setLatestEventInfo(this, "First text",
"This is the text that gets abberviated with .. when it is too long",
PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 0, new Intent(this,MainActivity.class)
.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP | Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP),
PendingIntent.FLAG_CANCEL_CURRENT));
notification.flags |= Notification.FLAG_AUTO_CANCEL;
nm.notify(0, notification);
}
In API 16+, there is a Notification.Builder class that allows you to add a subtext which can be of multiple lines (Like Gmail notifications). I don't know if Notification.Builder is included in the support library but I guess it might be. You can check it.
However, if it is not in the support library and you have to stick to your minSdkVersion, I'm afraid that there is no way to do what you want other than implementing your own notification version.
UPDATE:
The last revision of the support library (revision 10 which was released on August 2012) introduces the Android 4.1 notification style: BigTextStyle. there is a good example of how you can use it. Check it here.
