I am trying to get local/scheduled notifications working. With push messages (using Parse) working fine I though local would be easy, but even though the registration seems to go fine (didRegisterUserNotificationSettings is fired) and the scheduling seems to work too, the notification does not show up. I have tested on iOS 7 (iphone 4) and iOS 9 (iphone simulator). What am I missing?
here is my code:
@Override
public boolean didFinishLaunching(UIApplication application,UIApplicationLaunchOptions launchOptions)
{
boolean retval = super.didFinishLaunching(application, launchOptions);
//some other stuff happens here regarding parse push. But since this works I have cut it out
registerForPush();
return retval;
}
public void registerForPush()
{
if (IOSLauncher.getOSMajorVersion() >= 8)
{
UIUserNotificationType userNotificationTypes = UIUserNotificationType.with(UIUserNotificationType.Alert, UIUserNotificationType.Badge, UIUserNotificationType.Sound);
UIUserNotificationSettings settings = new UIUserNotificationSettings(userNotificationTypes, null);
application.registerUserNotificationSettings(settings);
application.registerForRemoteNotifications();
}
else
{
UIRemoteNotificationType type = UIRemoteNotificationType.with(UIRemoteNotificationType.Alert, UIRemoteNotificationType.Badge, UIRemoteNotificationType.Sound);
application.registerForRemoteNotificationTypes(type);
}
}
public void scheduleNotification(String title, String text, Date date, int ID)
{
UILocalNotification notification = new UILocalNotification();
if(getOSMajorVersion() >= 8 && getOSMinorVersion() >= 2)
notification.setAlertTitle(title);
notification.setAlertBody(text);
notification.setFireDate(new NSDate(date));
NSMutableDictionary<NSObject, NSObject> dict = new NSMutableDictionary<>();
dict.put("id",NSNumber.valueOf(ID));
notification.setUserInfo(dict);
UIApplication.getSharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification);
}
Edit: After settting the notification it is present in the array returned by:
UIApplication.getSharedApplication.getScheduledLocalNotifications();
The problem was resolved after Adding:
notification.setTimeZone(NSTimeZone.getLocalTimeZone());
and setting the expire time of my test timer from 1 minute to 5 minutes I'm not sure which is the actual solution, but the problem is gone, so I'm happy!
EDIT:
UILocalNotification notification = new UILocalNotification();
notification.setAlertTitle("title");
notification.setAlertBody("text");
NSMutableDictionary<NSObject, NSObject> dict = new NSMutableDictionary<>();
//add any customer stuff to your dictionary here
notification.setUserInfo(dict);
notification.setFireDate(new NSDate(date)); //date is some date in the future. Make sure it is in the correct TZ. If it does not work, try to make it at least 5 minutes in the future. I remember this helping my situation
notification.setTimeZone(NSTimeZone.getLocalTimeZone());
UIApplication.getSharedApplication().scheduleLocalNotification(notification);
