Question

Hi is there anything official Documentation about notifications in Compose or a sample App for that

Colton Idle · Answer

What are you looking for specifically Notifications are handled with an api that doesn t touch View code or compose code AFAIK I think you used to be able to use remote views or something but I think those were removed in Android 12 13

Colton Idle · Answer

FWIW I just implemented push notifications like last week in my pure compose app but you don t touch UI code at all It s just a builder where you set text and body essentially and the OS handles the rest for you

Jessica Ernst · Answer

okay yes I ve seen notifications are a new topic for me did the codelab here the source code <https github com googlecodelabs android kotlin notifications> okay fine But I m asking me how to implement that in compose without fragments so I m having a clean project architecture and notthing messy in a pure compose app and do you really need the Intents in cmpose

Colton Idle · Answer

Notifications have nothing to do with compose From that example above I think all you need is a compose button that triggers a notificaiton but the compose button on click code is identical to what you d do in the view fragment world

Colton Idle · Answer

In your compose button click event you basically just need to post the notification as the docs show here <https developer android com training notify user build notification>

Jessica Ernst · Answer

the button is not the point but where to go with the code from fragment for the channel build in my mainactivity I just call my navHost

Colton Idle · Answer

If you show some code I could hopefully be more helpful I m just guessing at what you need help with based off the original question Sorry

Jessica Ernst · Answer

look at the codelab code I m now having an receiver package and utils but look in the fragment there they are creating the channel in the Fragment for the notifications I don t know where to put that part without fragments

Colton Idle · Answer

Do you have a link to the exact spot you re looking at in the codelab I haven t done that codelab before

Jessica Ernst · Answer

Jessica Ernst · Answer

they are creating the notification channel in the Fragment but where should I do this in a pure compose multi page with single activity should I do that then In the ViewModel what would there be the best Style

Colton Idle · Answer

Since you need a context you basically only have a few choices fragment context which just gives you hostings activity context activity context application context service context idk if you use services but its popular when receiving a push notification from something like Firebase Cloud Messaging but yeah just throw that method into your activity or application class no biggie

Colton Idle · Answer

If I were you I d throw it in my activity and call it a day smile

Jessica Ernst · Answer

okay

Jessica Ernst · Answer

upside down face

Jessica Ernst · Answer

no no services at the end the notification has to go on exact time every day for an reminder that is set through an timepicker

Colton Idle · Answer
