Hi All,

 

I have been trying to create the custom interactive notification, I have given the below code after UAirship.takeoff

// Define actions for the group
        NotificationActionButton hiButtonAction = new NotificationActionButton.Builder("PAY_CATEGORY")
                .setLabel(R.string.pay_category)
                .setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon_file)
                .setPerformsInForeground(true)
                .build();

        NotificationActionButton byeButtonAction = new NotificationActionButton.Builder("bye")
                .setLabel(R.string.bye)
                .setIcon(R.drawable.your_icon_file)
                .setPerformsInForeground(true)
                .build();

// Define the group
        NotificationActionButtonGroup buttonGroup = new NotificationActionButtonGroup.Builder()
                .addNotificationActionButton(hiButtonAction)
                .addNotificationActionButton(byeButtonAction)
                .build();

// Add the custom group
        airship.getPushManager().addNotificationActionButtonGroup("custom group", buttonGroup);

 

But i am not able to get any interactive buttons, i am able to get only notification

 

The server side i have been sending following format 

{
   "audience": {
        "android_channel": "047108b1-ab55-41e5-8e32-4ca4b8da6e5e"
    },
    "device_types":["android"],
    "notification": {
        "android": {
            "alert": "Hello1",
            "interactive": {
      "type": "PAY_CATEGORY",
      "button_actions": {
         "PAY_IDENTIFIER": {
            "add_tag": "more_cake_please",
            "remove_tag": "lollipop",
            "open": {
               "type": "url",
               "content": "http://www.urbanairship.com"
            }
         }
      }
   }
        }
    }
    
}

    Hi Jagadesh,

    For your code, you'll want to ensure that the resources that the Notification Builder is using are all present within your app.

    Specifically:

    R.string.bye

    R.drawable.your_icon_file

    R.string.pay_category

    Make sure the above are defined within your app. Otherwise, we won't be able to know where to pull those resource files from.

     

    Secondly, you'll want to make some changes to your API request.

    The Interactive Notification type that you have set up is not called "Pay_Category". Instead, in your code, you have it defined as "custom group". You'll want to make sure you're using the correct value for the "type" field. Additionally, since you have two buttons defined for your custom interactive notification, you'll want to define the actions for that button within your API request.

    Marcello,

    Yes, this would be possible. Big Picture is sent in a different field (The "Style" field) that is separate from the Interactive Notification.
