Firebase notification that resolves into a notification and mail button with mail-intent?

[Niklas Karlsson]

Hi I have a intent from a server (Firebase), that only send: "do you want to mail me?"
then I make a notification and add a action-button, yes and no, in the notification.

When I click on the Yes : i want to make a email-intent, using standard Email.

When I click on the no : i want to go to home screen (not to open app..).

but I cant get it to work :-(
when i click on yes or no, the app crash "in the background" and the notification "do nothing in response".

my code snippet:
first the FirebasemessagingService

public class MyFirebasemessagingService extends FirebaseMessagingService{
.......
....
...
    @Override
    public void onMessageReceived(RemoteMessage remoteMessage) {
            if (remoteMessage.getNotification() != null){
            Log.d(TAG,"mess body : " + remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody() );
            //sendNotifigation(remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody());
            // set vibration pattern
            long[] pattern = {500,500,500,500,500};
           // set sound not:
            Uri notificationSound = RingtoneManager.getDefaultUri(RingtoneManager.TYPE_NOTIFICATION);
          sendNotifigation(remoteMessage.getNotification().getTitle(), remoteMessage.getNotification().getBody(),
                    remoteMessage.getNotification().getTag(), pattern, notificationSound);
}

 private void sendNotifigation(String title, String body, String tag, long[] pattern, Uri notificationSound) {
        Intent intent = new Intent(this, MainActivity.class);
        intent.setFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP);
       PendingIntent pendingIntent;
        pendingIntent = PendingIntent.getActivity(this,0/*REQ code*/, intent,PendingIntent.FLAG_ONE_SHOT);

        NotificationCompat.InboxStyle inboxStyle = prepareBigNotificationDetails(body, title);//, tag);

        //Yes intent
        Intent yesReceive = new Intent();
        yesReceive.setAction(AppConstant.YES_ACTION);
        PendingIntent pendingIntentYes = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, yesReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);

//Maybe intent
        Intent maybeReceive = new Intent();
        maybeReceive.setAction(AppConstant.MAYBE_ACTION);
        PendingIntent pendingIntentMaybe = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, maybeReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


//No intent
        Intent noReceive = new Intent();
        noReceive.setAction(AppConstant.NO_ACTION);
        PendingIntent pendingIntentNo = PendingIntent.getBroadcast(this, 12345, noReceive, PendingIntent.FLAG_UPDATE_CURRENT);


        NotificationCompat.Builder notifyBoilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
                .setSmallIcon(R.mipmap.ic_launcher)
                .setAutoCancel(true)
                .setLights(Color.BLACK,1,1)// only the ico surounding area if possible, in login screen..
                .setSound(notificationSound)
                .setVibrate(pattern)
                .setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
                .setVisibility(VISIBILITY_PUBLIC)
                .setStyle(inboxStyle)// ~8 rows MAX, firstLine: body, secondLine: title
                .addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "Yes", pendingIntentYes)
                .addAction(R.mipmap.ic_launcher, "No", pendingIntentNo)
                ;
        NotificationManager notifymanager = (NotificationManager)getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
        notifymanager.notify(0/*ID of notifyer*/, notifyBoilder.build());


    }
private NotificationCompat.InboxStyle prepareBigNotificationDetails(String body, String title){//, String tag) {
        String[] bodyArray = splitIntoLine(body, 15);
        String[] titleArray = splitIntoLine(title, 15);
        //String[] tagArray = splitIntoLine(tag, 15);

        NotificationCompat.InboxStyle result = new NotificationCompat.InboxStyle();

        result.setBigContentTitle(bodyArray[0]);
        if(bodyArray.length>1){
            for (int i = 1 ; i<bodyArray.length ; i++){
                result.addLine(bodyArray[i]);
            }
        }

        if(titleArray.length>=1){
            for (int i = 1 ; i<titleArray.length ; i++){
                result.addLine(titleArray[i]);
            }
        }
public String[] splitIntoLine(String text, int maxCharInLine){ //maximaze textlenth per row..

        StringTokenizer tok = new StringTokenizer(text, " ");
        StringBuilder output = new StringBuilder(text.length());
        int lineLen = 0;
        while (tok.hasMoreTokens()) {
            String word = tok.nextToken();

            while(word.length() > maxCharInLine){
                output.append(word.substring(0, maxCharInLine-lineLen) + "\n");
                word = word.substring(maxCharInLine-lineLen);
                lineLen = 0;
            }

            if (lineLen + word.length() > maxCharInLine) {
                output.append("\n");
                lineLen = 0;
            }
            output.append(word + " ");

            lineLen += word.length() + 1;
        }
        // output.split();
        // return output.toString();
        return output.toString().split("\n");
    }

then the clickerOnNotify (that to do when I click on button):

public class clickerOnNotify extends BroadcastReceiver {
    @Override
        public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
            String action = intent.getAction();
            Bundle answerBundle = intent.getExtras();
            int userAnswer = answerBundle.getInt("userAnswer");
            if(AppConstant.YES_ACTION.equals(action)){
                Log.v("shuffTest","Pressed YES");
                Intent emailIntent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SENDTO, Uri.fromParts(
                        "mailto","[e-mail]", null));
                emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, "Subject-YES");
                emailIntent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, "Body");
                context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(emailIntent , "Send mail..."));
            } else if(AppConstant.NO_ACTION.equals(action)) {
                //NO return to homescreen (?)
            }

        }
    }

and then the Appconstant for the clicker

public class AppConstant
{
    public static final String YES_ACTION = "YES_ACTION";
    public static final String NO_ACTION =  "NO_ACTION";
}

in manifest

Have you tried debugging to see where the button fails?

thank you for your answer,
the strange thing is that I cant demo on a virDevice this ang my mobil do nit work anymore with the USB interface to the PC so i build the apk and install this everytime now :-(

Ouch! That points to larger problems though. But even if it didn't, you really need to be able to debug. Personally, i found this works really well on a laptop with Ubuntu and Studio.

Yes I know, I went from Eclipse to AS, and then the problem begun... :-(

Try a fresh install. AS works really well; slow on some computers, fast on others. But, considering how integral it will be to your development process, i would suggest getting it to work. If the system is messed up and you cannot reinstall it, try a virtual machine.

I think it is a problem some how with the intent and that i cant make a intent in a non application (?)

I do not know enough to answer that question. I would setup a small test case if i wasn't sure about something.

[Niklas Karlsson]

also this don't work:

public class clickerOnNotify extends BroadcastReceiver {
@Override
    public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
        String to = "[e-mail]";
        String subject = "subject";
        String message = "textMessage";

        Intent email = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
        email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, new String[]{ to});
        //email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_CC, new String[]{ to});
        //email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_BCC, new String[]{to});
        email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject);
        email.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, message);

        //need this to prompts email client only
        email.setType("message/rfc822");

        context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(email, "Choose an Email client :"));
    }
}

[Brian Tkatch]

Please post all code inside of code blocks. It makes it so much easier to read.

Before the broadcast receiver is tested, you must make sure the broadcast is being made. Then, have the receiver write to a file or popup a toast message to verify it received the message, before worrying how it is going to start an activity.

Context gets pretty strange when control is passed around. I played with something similar once and it took me a bit to get it straight.

YES, the broadcarreciver recive the "buttonpress.."
but i beleave it is the "sent mail in the broadcastR.." that is the problem..

I would try the email sending code outside of a broadcast receiver, to rule out it causing the issue.

thew code that dont work is the one in the Broadcast Reviser:

public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
  public String toEmail = "[e-mail]";
  Intent intent = null;
  String message = "messages";
  String emailAddressList[] = {toEmail};
  intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_SEND);
  intent.setType("text/html");
  intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_EMAIL, emailAddressList);  
      			   intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_SUBJECT, subject); 
      			   intent.putExtra(Intent.EXTRA_TEXT, Html.fromHtml(message));
      			   context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "chose E-client:"));
    }

is :context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "chose E-client:"));
the issue?

    }

is :context.startActivity(Intent.createChooser(intent, "chose E-client:"));
the issue?

That is beyond what i know, sorry.

I hope someone else can try to help.
