Re: [Aerogear-users] cordova push android BigText

On ios the message text wraps when a long message is displayed but on android only one line is displayed by default, truncating if too long. In a previous thread Erik pointed out that there is a lot of freedom for how messages are displayed in the Android notifications panel by making changes to NotificationMessageHandler.java. I coded up a change so I could test BigTextStyle in android. Using BigTextStyle on android lets the text wrap to multiple lines. With the change I can use a UPS request like: { "alias":["someuser"], "message":{ "alert":"a long message"", "badge":33, "gglbigtxt":"a long message", "gglsummry":"unread count", "gglinfo":"33" } } to display wrapping messages in both android and ios. Adding a summary line for the count value helps mitigate the missing badges on android. I added the "gglinfo" key to display any value in the info area. The "msgcnt" key displays in the info area but will not display a number less than 1. In NotificationMessageHandler.java before the line: manager.notify(appName, NOTIFICATION_ID, builder.build()); add: String tmp; if ((tmp = extras.getString("gglbigtxt")) != null) { NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle bigStyle = new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().bigText(tmp); if ((tmp = extras.getString("gglsummry")) != null) bigStyle.setSummaryText(tmp); if ((tmp = extras.getString("gglbigttl")) != null) bigStyle.setBigContentTitle(tmp); builder.setStyle(bigStyle); } if ((tmp = extras.getString("gglinfo")) != null) builder.setContentInfo(tmp); I'm not recommending this be added to the plugin project as is, but it might be worth looking at. - Kelvin _______________________________________________ Aerogear-users mailing list Aerogear-users(a)lists.jboss.org https://lists.jboss.org/mailman/listinfo/aerogear-users
