B4J Question Toast message lib for B4J without container

[peacemaker]

HI, All

Is it possible to show a toast message on the screen by B4J (like on Android), without depending on a form ? For server app.

 

[Erel]

jControlsFX9 supports such feature (notifications).

ShowNotification2 and ShowNotification3 work, but it needs variant without the owner.


If to try the empty non-UI project - the error is so:

Project attached.
Looks like node-less toast is impossible...

It will indeed not work in a non-ui app. You will need to create a UI app, without a form.

Actually my app is such app - UI, but without form at start (with system tray icon, as you recommended). And error is of another kind, see above, 1st error.

Try this instead: https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/t...ifications-for-macos-win10.124929/post-830759

Thanks, this code creates the message, but each is with extra icon in the tray, not usable now, needs to modify.

displayMessage & Tray App Icon

You can use displayMessage to show a task bar message as per below Dim jo As JavaObject = icon1 jo.RunMethod("displayMessage",Array As Object("Success", "Changes pushed successfully", "INFO")) However as you'll see below it says "OpenJDK Platform Binary" which is a bit unhelpful...
