Android Question Notification builder problem

[jayel]

Hello,

My code :

Sub fm_MessageArrived (Message As RemoteMessage)


       'Try
        Log("Message arrived")
        Log($"Message data: ${Message.GetData}"$)

        Dim nb As NotificationBuilder
        ' Dim nbBigTextStyle As NotificationBigTextStyle
        Dim title As String = Message.GetData.get("title")
        'Log("title 2de karakter : " & title.SubString2(1,2))
        Dim body As String = Message.GetData.Get("body")
        Dim soort As Char = title.SubString2(0,1)
        Dim severity As Int = title.SubString2(1,2)
        Dim acttitle As String = title.SubString(2)
        nb.Initialize
    
        Select Case soort
            Case "D"
                nb.SmallIcon = "ic_home_variant_white_24dp"
            Case "A"
                nb.SmallIcon = "ic_bell_white_24dp"

                    nb.CustomSound = "file:///sdcard/Notifications/pass.mp3"
                
                End If
            Case "D"
                welk = 1

    'End Try


End Sub

When a firebase message arrives I got to analyse it and make a notification with notification builder.
I have a strange problem: the customsound "pass.mp3" will not play, even when it should.
When I put a breakpoint and step into the code the sound plays ???

Somebody?

John

Are you sending the push via firebase console or http request?
The console has limitations on showing notifications...

 

[jayel]

Firebase, the notification side does work because the notification send by firebase is saved in a sqlite databse

 

[jayel]

nobody that can help?

 

[An Schi]

The answer is right above (and on other threads): the console has limitations on showing notifications - use erels B4J code to send and you will get the notification.

 

[jayel]

Hey,

I am happy to use Erel's code, but which code do you mean?

 

[jayel]

An shi,

I AM using erels code to send the message, it is not via the console.
I receive the messages, that is not the problem, but the notification builder doen't play the sound (
file:///sdcard/Notifications/pass.mp3)

The path changes between different devices. You need to use File.DirRootExternal.

You can use File.Combine(File.DirRootExternal, "Notifications/beep2.mp3")

This will also add the WRITE_EXTERNAL permission.

That seems to solved my problem !
Thanks to all !

PS this is a great community !

 

[panagiotisden2]

here is my way to solve this

If File.Exists("/sdcard/Notifications/","ding.mp3")=False Then
    File.MakeDir("/sdcard/","Notifications")
    File.Copy(File.DirAssets,"ding.mp3","/sdcard/Notifications/","ding.mp3")

 

[Erel]

The above code is wrong and will fail on many devices.
