Hi,
I am planning to add more functionality to my app by sending random notifications in a daily base, with messages from an existing database in the app itself. In my Samsung Galaxy SII I can see a small icon on the top of the screen, which indicates that a new message has just arrived. I can then swipe downwards and see the notification in more detail, so that I can click on it and then the device displays the whole message in a new screen (see screenshots).
I have no idea how to do this with MobiOne, if possible. Does somebody have any hint/idea ??
Thanks.
Hi Alonso,
MobiOne does not yet provide a notification api or push notification services. These are high on our todo list. In most cases users have requested push notifications. As I understand it, you want your app to signal the user. I am sharing your scenario with the dev team for evaluation.
Hello,
thanks for information and hopefully the functionality is soon available, as well as much more (HTML table, tabs) but I think this is not exactly a push notification. According to what I read in Wikipedia, we need an internet conection and a server which sends the notifications to users and this is not what I meant.
What I pretend is that, in a future app, there will be a database in itself with any number of messages. The application will select randomly every day a message which is sent to the smartphone itself, as I show in the screenshots. User can then click on it for displaying the whole message. In other words, internet conection is need only once: when they download the app for installation.
You might be able to do that using javascript. You could create an array of messages then use a random script to present them in an alert. This would only work if the app is open and you called the function using the onload handler.
If you want the message to appear when the app is closed you’ll need the push notification server to post the message to Apple & Google’s pn service.
