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

[Colton Idle]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Do you have a link to the exact spot you're looking at in the codelab. I haven't done that codelab before.

https://github.com/googlecodelabs/android-kotlin-notifications/blob/master/app/src[…]om/example/android/eggtimernotifications/ui/EggTimerFragment.kt

[Jessica Ernst]

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]

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]

If I were you, I'd throw it in my activity and call it a day. 😄

[Jessica Ernst]

okay

[Jessica Ernst]

🙃

[Jessica Ernst]

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]

Gotcha. I've never done that. Usually just post notifications based on when my server tells me theres something new (new tweet, etc)

[Jessica Ernst]

yeah and I’m thinking now about using alarms instead

[Colton Idle]

good luck!

[Jessica Ernst]

of notifications 🤣
