With Android 26 (O) introducing Notification channels I have been investigating the Google supplied com.example.android.notificationchannels
This example works as expected until I attempted to add an Action
to the Secondary Notification defined within the example app.
My code resembles this :-
/**
* Build notification for secondary channel.
*
* @param title Title for notification.
* @param body Message for notification.
* @return A Notification.Builder configured with the selected channel and details
*/
@RequiresApi(api = Build.VERSION_CODES.O)
public Notification.Builder getNotification2(String title, String body) {
return new Notification.Builder(getApplicationContext(), SECONDARY_CHANNEL)
.setContentTitle(title)
.setContentText(body)
.setActions(buildAction())
.setSmallIcon(getSmallIcon())
.setAutoCancel(true);
}
and buildAction() :-
@TargetApi(Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT_WATCH)
private Notification.Action buildAction() {
final Intent intent = new Intent(this, SecondActivity.class);
final PendingIntent pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this, 1729, intent, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT );
final Notification.Action myAction = new Notification.Action.Builder(R.drawable.ic_action_name, "RETRY", pendingIntent).build();
return myAction;
}
The Action is displayed and works as desired, however there is no Icon displayed next to the Action Title.
What have I done wrong?
My build.gradle file is shown below:-
buildscript {
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:3.0.0-alpha4'
}
}
apply plugin: 'com.android.application'
repositories {
jcenter()
}
dependencies {
compile "com.android.support:support-v4:26.+"
compile "com.android.support:support-v13:26.+"
compile "com.android.support:cardview-v7:26.+"
compile "com.android.support:appcompat-v7:26.+"
}
// The sample build uses multiple directories to
// keep boilerplate and common code separate from
// the main sample code.
List<String> dirs = [
'main', // main sample code; look here for the interesting stuff.
'common', // components that are reused by multiple samples
'template'] // boilerplate code that is generated by the sample template process
android {
compileSdkVersion 26
buildToolsVersion "26.0.0"
// Values declared here override the ones declared in AndroidManifest.xml
defaultConfig {
minSdkVersion 16
targetSdkVersion 26
}
compileOptions {
sourceCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
targetCompatibility JavaVersion.VERSION_1_7
}
sourceSets {
main {
dirs.each { dir ->
java.srcDirs "src/${dir}/java"
res.srcDirs "src/${dir}/res"
}
}
androidTest.setRoot('tests')
androidTest.java.srcDirs = ['tests/src']
}
}
