Vibrate and Sound defaults on notification in android
Its work fine to me,You can try it.
protected void displayNotification() {
Log.i("Start", "notification");
// Invoking the default notification service //
NotificationCompat.Builder mBuilder =
new NotificationCompat.Builder(this);
mBuilder.setAutoCancel(true);
mBuilder.setContentTitle("New Message");
mBuilder.setContentText("You have "+unMber_unRead_sms +" new message.");
mBuilder.setTicker("New message from PayMe..");
mBuilder.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.icon2);
// Increase notification number every time a new notification arrives //
mBuilder.setNumber(unMber_unRead_sms);
// Creates an explicit intent for an Activity in your app //
Intent resultIntent = new Intent(this, FreesmsLog.class);
TaskStackBuilder stackBuilder = TaskStackBuilder.create(this);
stackBuilder.addParentStack(FreesmsLog.class);
// Adds the Intent that starts the Activity to the top of the stack //
stackBuilder.addNextIntent(resultIntent);
PendingIntent resultPendingIntent =
stackBuilder.getPendingIntent(
0,
PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT
);
mBuilder.setContentIntent(resultPendingIntent);
// mBuilder.setOngoing(true);
Notification note = mBuilder.build();
note.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_VIBRATE;
note.defaults |= Notification.DEFAULT_SOUND;
mNotificationManager =
(NotificationManager) getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
// notificationID allows you to update the notification later on. //
mNotificationManager.notify(notificationID, mBuilder.build());
}
Fragment Navigation Drawer in android
In Common Navigation Paradigms cliffnotes, we discuss the various navigational structures available within Android apps. One of the most flexible is the Navigation Drawer. During the I/O Conference 2015, Google released NavigationView, which makes it far easier to create it than the previously documented instructions.
With the release of Android 5.0 Lollipop, the new material design style navigation drawer spans the full height of the screen and is displayed over the
ActionBar
and overlaps the translucent StatusBar
. Read the material design style navigation drawer document for specs on styling your navigation drawer.Usage
This guide explains how to setup a basic material design style drawer filled with navigation items that switch different fragments into the content area. In this way, you can define multiple fragments, and then define the list of options which will display in the drawers items list. Each item when clicked will switch the relevant fragment into the activity's container view.
Setup
Make sure to setup the Google Design Support Library before using Google's newNavigationView, announced as part of the Android M release. The NavigationView should be backwards compatible with all versions down to Android 2.1.
Download Nav Drawer Item icons
Download the following icons and add them to your drawable folders by copying and pasting them into the drawable folder or using the
New Image Asset
dialog to create versions for each density.
If you use the
New Image Asset
dialog, choose a black foreground color and change the resource name.Setup Drawer Resources
Create a
menu/drawer_view.xml
file:<menu xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<group android:checkableBehavior="single">
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_first_fragment"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_one"
android:title="First" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_second_fragment"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_two"
android:title="Second" />
<item
android:id="@+id/nav_third_fragment"
android:icon="@drawable/ic_three"
android:title="Third" />
</group>
</menu>
Note that you can set one of these elements to be default selected by using
android:checked="true"
.
You can also create subheaders too and group elements together:
<item android:title="Sub items">
<menu>
<item
android:icon="@drawable/ic_dashboard"
android:title="Sub item 1" />
<item
android:icon="@drawable/ic_forum"
android:title="Sub item 2" />
</menu>
</item>
Define Fragments
Next, you need to define your fragments that will be displayed within the drawer. These can be any support fragments you define within your application. Make sure that all the fragments extend from android.support.v4.app.Fragment.
Setup Toolbar
In order to slide our navigation drawer over the ActionBar, we need to use the newToolbar widget as defined in the AppCompat v21 library. The
Toolbar
can be embedded into your view hierarchy which makes sure that the drawer slides over the ActionBar
.
Create a new layout file
res/layout/toolbar.xml
with the following code:<android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/toolbar"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:fitsSystemWindows="true"
android:minHeight="?attr/actionBarSize"
app:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark.ActionBar"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark">
</android.support.v7.widget.Toolbar>
Note that when the
android:fitsSystemWindows
attribute is set to true for a view, the view would be laid out as if the StatusBar
and the ActionBar
were present i.e. the UI on top gets padding enough to not be obscured by the navigation bar. Without this attribute, there is not enough padding factored into consideration for the ToolBar
:
We want our main content view to have the navigation bar and hence
android:fitsSystemWindows
is set to true for the Toolbar
.
To use the
Toolbar
as an ActionBar
, you need to disable the default ActionBar
. This can be done by setting the app theme in styles.xml
file.<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<item name="colorPrimary">#673AB7</item>
<item name="colorPrimaryDark">#512DA8</item>
<item name="colorAccent">#FF4081</item>
</style>
</resources>
Also note that normally you should decide on your color scheme by going to Material Palette and choosing a primary and dark primary color. For this example, we will pick purple-based colors as shown in the screenshot.
Note: If you forget to disable the ActionBar in
styles.xml
, you are likely to see ajava.lang.IllegalStateException
with an error message that reads This Activity already has an action bar supplied by the window decor. Do not request Window.FEATURE_ACTION_BAR and set windowActionBar to false in your theme to use a Toolbar instead.
If you see this message, you need to make sure to follow the previous steps.Setup Drawer in Activity
Next, let's setup a basic navigation drawer based on the following layout file which has the entire drawer setup in
res/layout/activity_main.xml
. Note that the Toolbar
is added as the first child of the main content view by adding the include tag.<!-- This DrawerLayout has two children at the root -->
<android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout
xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:id="@+id/drawer_layout"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<!-- This LinearLayout represents the contents of the screen -->
<LinearLayout
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="vertical">
<!-- The ActionBar displayed at the top -->
<include
layout="@layout/toolbar"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
<!-- The main content view where fragments are loaded -->
<FrameLayout
android:id="@+id/flContent"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />
</LinearLayout>
<!-- The navigation drawer that comes from the left -->
<!-- Note that `android:layout_gravity` needs to be set to 'start' -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
android:id="@+id/nvView"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="start"
android:background="@android:color/white"
app:menu="@menu/drawer_view" />
</android.support.v4.widget.DrawerLayout>
Add Gradle dependency support, and sync with gradle:
compile 'com.android.support:design:22.2.0'
Now, let's setup the drawer in our activity. We can also setup the menu icon too.
Note: Make sure you implement the correct
onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
method. There are 2 signatures and only this one shows the hamburger icon.public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity {
private DrawerLayout mDrawer;
private Toolbar toolbar;
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
// Set a Toolbar to replace the ActionBar.
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Find our drawer view
mDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
}
@Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
// The action bar home/up action should open or close the drawer.
switch (item.getItemId()) {
case android.R.id.home:
mDrawer.openDrawer(GravityCompat.START);
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
// Make sure this is the method with just `Bundle` as the signature
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
}
}
Navigating between Menu Items
Setup a handler to respond to click events on the navigation elements and swap out the fragment.
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Find our drawer view
nvDrawer = (NavigationView) findViewById(R.id.nvView);
// Setup drawer view
setupDrawerContent(nvDrawer);
}
private void setupDrawerContent(NavigationView navigationView) {
navigationView.setNavigationItemSelectedListener(
new NavigationView.OnNavigationItemSelectedListener() {
@Override
public boolean onNavigationItemSelected(MenuItem menuItem) {
selectDrawerItem(menuItem);
return true;
}
});
}
public void selectDrawerItem(MenuItem menuItem) {
// Create a new fragment and specify the planet to show based on
// position
Fragment fragment = null;
Class fragmentClass;
switch(menuItem.getItemId()) {
case R.id.nav_first_fragment:
fragmentClass = FirstFragment.class;
break;
case R.id.nav_second_fragment:
fragmentClass = SecondFragment.class;
break;
case R.id.nav_third_fragment:
fragmentClass = ThirdFragment.class;
break;
default:
fragmentClass = FirstFragment.class;
}
try {
fragment = (Fragment) fragmentClass.newInstance();
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
// Insert the fragment by replacing any existing fragment
FragmentManager fragmentManager = getSupportFragmentManager();
fragmentManager.beginTransaction().replace(R.id.flContent, fragment).commit();
// Highlight the selected item, update the title, and close the drawer
menuItem.setChecked(true);
setTitle(menuItem.getTitle());
mDrawer.closeDrawers();
}
Add Navigation Header
The NavigationView also accepts a custom attribute that can reference a layout that provides a header of our layout. For instance, you can create a
layout/nav_header.xml
similar to the following:<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="192dp"
android:background="?attr/colorPrimaryDark"
android:padding="16dp"
android:theme="@style/ThemeOverlay.AppCompat.Dark"
android:orientation="vertical"
android:gravity="bottom">
<TextView
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Header"
android:textColor="@android:color/white"
android:textAppearance="@style/TextAppearance.AppCompat.Body1"/>
</LinearLayout>
You would then reference this in the layout
res/layout/activity_main.xml
in theNavigationView
with the app:headerLayout
custom attribute:<!-- res/layout/activity_main.xml -->
<!-- The navigation drawer -->
<android.support.design.widget.NavigationView
...
app:headerLayout="@layout/nav_header">
</android.support.design.widget.NavigationView>
Animate the Hamburger Icon
In order for the hamburger icon to animate to indicate the drawer is being opened and closed, we need to use the ActionBarDrawerToggle class.
In your
res/values/strings.xml
add the following:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
<string name="drawer_open">Open navigation drawer</string>
<string name="drawer_close">Close navigation drawer</string>
</resources>
We need to tie the DrawerLayout and Toolbar together:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
// Set a Toolbar to replace the ActionBar.
toolbar = (Toolbar) findViewById(R.id.toolbar);
setSupportActionBar(toolbar);
// Find our drawer view
dlDrawer = (DrawerLayout) findViewById(R.id.drawer_layout);
drawerToggle = setupDrawerToggle();
// Tie DrawerLayout events to the ActionBarToggle
dlDrawer.setDrawerListener(drawerToggle);
}
private ActionBarDrawerToggle setupDrawerToggle() {
return new ActionBarDrawerToggle(this, dlDrawer, toolbar, R.string.drawer_open, R.string.drawer_close);
}
Next, we need to make sure we synchronize the state whenever the screen is restored or there is a configuration change (i.e screen rotation):
@Override
protected void onPostCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onPostCreate(savedInstanceState);
// Sync the toggle state after onRestoreInstanceState has occurred.
drawerToggle.syncState();
}
@Override
public void onConfigurationChanged(Configuration newConfig) {
super.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
// Pass any configuration change to the drawer toggles
drawerToggle.onConfigurationChanged(newConfig);
}
We also need to change the
onOptionsItemSelected()
method and allow the ActionBarToggle to handle the events. @Override
public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
if (drawerToggle.onOptionsItemSelected(item)) {
return true;
}
return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
}
The ActionBarToggle will perform the same function done previously but adds a bit more checks and allows mouse clicks on the icon to open and close the drawer. See the source code for more context.
One thing to note is that the ActionBarDrawerToggle renders a customDrawerArrowDrawable for you for the hamburger icon.
Making Status Bar Translucent
To have the status bar translucent and have our drawer slide over it, we need to set
android:windowTranslucentStatus
to true. Because this style is not available for pre Kitkat devices, we'll add res/values-v19/styles.xml
file for API version 19 and onwards. Note: If you modify your res/values/styles.xml
directly with thisandroid:windowTranslucentStatus
line, you are likely to need to build only for SDK versions 19 or higher, which will obviously limit you from supporting many older devices.
In
res/values-v19/styles.xml
we can add the following:<resources>
<!-- Base application theme. -->
<style name="AppTheme" parent="Theme.AppCompat.Light.NoActionBar">
<!-- Customize your theme here. -->
<item name="android:windowTranslucentStatus">true</item>
</style>
</resources>
Now if you run your app, you should see the navigation drawer and be able to select between your fragments.
Persistent Navigation Drawer
In certain situations, especially on tablets, the navigation drawer should be a permanent fixture on the activity acting as a sidebar:
