B4J Question Display Taskbar Message

[GMan]

Trying this, but did not work (with jSystemTray lib):

       Private icon1 As SystemTray

       Dim jo As JavaObject = icon1
        jo.RunMethod("displayMessage",Array As Object("Success", "Changes pushed successfully", "INFO"))

Sure. Why it should work like this? I dont see you initializing the SystemTray
Try

icon1.Initialize

in app start

 

[GMan]

You're rigth, but with this:

Private icon1 as SystemTray
icon1.Initialize
    
    Dim jo As JavaObject = icon1
    jo.RunMethod("displayMessage",Array As Object("Phoenix Creator", "Starting...", "NONE"))

it causes this message in the log:

The b4j SystemTray Object does not have a method displayMessage.
Maybe SystemTray is just a small/basic Wrapper around java.awt.SystemTray. It has Methods for an Icon...

You maybe need to get the property "st" from the SystemTray Object first. This is the awt.SystemTray. Maybe using replector.

 

[GMan]

Yeah, realized that also and found this Thread (where i used the same method 6 years ago)
https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...icons-to-the-system-tray-notifications.37534/

The older i get the more i think i am forgetting more things that i ever have learned - but coding in some different (coding) languages sometimes i lost the "thread"

 

[DonManfred]

    Dim jo As JavaObject = systray ' systray is my Icon1
    jo = jo.GetFieldJO("st")
    Log(jo)

prints this to the log

(SystemTray) java.awt.SystemTray@5064f8fa

You now can try to call the Method you mentioned. Not sure wheter it works but at least you are now accessing the correct Object.

 

[DonManfred]

Where does the info comes from that there is such a method in the SystemTray?

SystemTray (Java Platform SE 7 )

I can not see anything related to displayMessage here....

This is my initilaize funtion, maybe its failing becuase you didnt specify an image for the icon?

Private tray As SystemTray 'Process_Globals
Private icon1 As TrayIcon 'Process_Globals
Private LogoImage As Image 'Process_Globals

    LogoImage = fx.LoadImage(File.DirAssets, "favicon.png")

    tray.Initialize
    Dim MenuItems() As String = Array As String("Push Changes", "-", "Exit")
    icon1.Initialize("icon1", LogoImage, MenuItems)
    icon1.ToolTip = "Changes in queue: " & GetChangeCount
    tray.AddTrayIcon(icon1)
