The notifications are not shown

SimplesApps · May 2014

Hi @ar2rsawseen,

I'm testing the notification plugin under iOS and they are not shown.
I've followed the instructions under http://giderosmobile.com/labs/notification
The notifications for the Gideros Player are activated in the device.

This is the code:

local note = Notification.new(1)
note:setTitle("MyGame")
note:setMessage("Hello")
note:setSound("audio/hello.wav")
note:dispatchNow()

I'm doing wrong?

Thanks.

@SimplesApps ios behavior is that notifications which are dispatched while app is in foreground does not appear, but rather you receive a Gideros event to handle them.

Try dispatching notifications after 10 seconds and put your app to background by clicking home button.

@ar2rsawseen I tried to dispatch after 10 seconds before but nothing happened.

I'm testing with Gideros player so If I click the home button the player goes to background but makes exit the app.

To build the app I have to add the pluging,etc. every time for every test I make.
How could I test the notifications with the player (without building the app)?

Ok, I see... doubleclick at home button and another click after, then the app are running yet (in background) and the notification appears.

Although the sound is the system default not that you set with "note:setSound("sound")".
Perhaps due to because it runs on the player, because the sound is in the app assets not in the player assets?

Another question: is it necessary to use an external server for the push notifications ?
In the notification docs appears in the example code to register for push notifications.

@SimplesApps its possible, I remember testing sound working with both player and exported app, but that was when there was ios 5, so maybe something's changes, maybe for example, sound format is not supported

SimplesApps · June 2014

@ar2rsawseen The device where I test it is iOS 5.1.

SimplesApps · June 2014

And the sound format is ok.

A possible "bug" I found is that if you set a notification is not possible to delete it.
I mean you can exclude from the notification system of the device but the notification appears again and again.

You have to uninstall the app to delete the notification.

@ar2rsawseen Could you check it?

Thanks.

SimplesApps · June 2014

@ar2rsawseen Adding to the last thing is that if I uninstall Gideros Player and I install it again the notifications will come again.

I tested with a 1 minute notification and now every time I install Gideros Player a new notification appears every minute. I have to uninstall it because is very annoying... but I need to perform tests...

Please help! How could I delete that notification?

Something like this code?

local mngr = NotificationManager.getSharedInstance()
mngr:cancelAllNotifications()
mngr:clearLocalNotifications()

SimplesApps · June 2014

@tkhnoman Thanks a lot! These 3 lines of code solve the problem.

But anyway, why if you exclude the app from the notification system of the device continues appearing?. It seems the notification don't check the exclusion. Maybe is a bug maybe or you could be implement a checking with the available functions.

ar2rsawseen · June 2014

@SimplesApps but other apps behave the same way on my device, no matter how many other games I exclude, they still send notifications
