Xamarin Android Customization
How to customize Pushwoosh SDK for Xamarin Android project
In order to track in-app purchases you should call the
SendInappPurchase method of the PushNotificationsManager class when a user buys a product:public virtual void SendInappPurchase (string sku, BigDecimal price, string currency);
sku– the ID of the purchased productprice– the price of the productcurrency– the currency (ex: “USD”)
Example:
PushNotificationsManager.Instance.SendInappPurchase("com.your.app.Marketing", BigDecimal.ValueOf(149.95), "USD");
Add IntentFilter attribute to your activity class that will handle the deep link as follows:
using Android.Content;
using Android.Content.PM;
[Activity(Label = "PromoActivity",
ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.Orientation,
ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Intent.ActionView },
Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryDefault, Intent.CategoryBrowsable },
DataScheme = "com.pushwoosh",
DataHost = "promotion")]
class PromoActivity : Activity
Note that deep link page name (promotion in the example) goes to the host field, notpathPrefix.
In the example above the deep link opens PromoActivity. The basic implementation below displays alert with promo id value for the sake of simplicity.
using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.OS;
using Android.Text;
using Android.Widget;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Content.PM;
namespace PushwooshSample
{
[Activity(Label = "PromoActivity",
ConfigurationChanges = ConfigChanges.Orientation,
ScreenOrientation = ScreenOrientation.Portrait)]
[IntentFilter(new[] { Intent.ActionView },
Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryDefault, Intent.CategoryBrowsable },
DataScheme = "com.pushwoosh",
DataHost = "promotion")]
public class PromoActivity : Activity
{
protected override void OnCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState)
{
base.OnCreate(savedInstanceState);
Title = "Deep link activity";
Intent intent = Intent;
String action = intent.Action;
var data = intent.Data;
if (TextUtils.Equals(action, Intent.ActionView))
{
OpenUrl(data);
}
}
void OpenUrl(Android.Net.Uri uri)
{
String promoId = uri.GetQueryParameter("id");
Toast.MakeText(ApplicationContext, promoId, ToastLength.Long).Show();
}
}
}
To implement Geozones, add Pushwoosh.Geozones.Xamarin.Droid nuget package to your project.
To start location tracking, simply call
PushwooshLocation.StartLocationTracking();
Note that
AccessFineLocation and AccessCoarseLocation must be enabled in the AndroidManifest.xml for Geozones to work.Pushwoosh supports setting badge number on the app icon shortcut for the following Android launchers:
Sony, Samsung, LG, HTC, Xiaomi, ASUS, ADW, APEX, NOVA, HUAWEI, ZUK, OPPO.
Example:
using Pushwoosh.Badge;
PushwooshBadge.BadgeNumber = badgeInt;
If you want to start a particular activity in response to push notifications, add the following IntentFilter to that activity:
[Activity]
[IntentFilter(new[] { "${applicationId}.MESSAGE" }, Categories = new[] { Intent.CategoryDefault })]
public class MyActivity : Activity
In order to assist with debugging and integration, SDK prints all requests to the console by default. When you're ready for the production build, add "PW_LOG_LEVEL" meta-data with value "ERROR" to the AndroidManifest.xml. This way only information about errors will go to the console. Other option could be one of the following:
NONE - No logs from the SDK
ERROR - Display only errors in the console
WARN - Display warnings and errors
INFO - Display informational messages
DEBUG - Even debug information is displayed now
NOISE - Everything SDK can print
<meta-data android:name="com.pushwoosh.log_level" android:value="ERROR" />
Add the following options if you use ProGuard:
-keep class com.pushwoosh.** { *; }
-dontwarn com.pushwoosh.**
If you need to select which activity to display as a result of a push notification, you can create custom NotificationServiceExtension and include fully qualified class name of your NotificationServiceExtension in metadata under “com.pushwoosh.notification_service_extension” value.
using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Content;
using Android.Runtime;
using Pushwoosh.Notification;
[assembly: MetaData("com.pushwoosh.notification_service_extension",
Value = "com.your.package.YourNotificationServiceExtension")]
namespace YourNamespace
{
[Register("com/your/package/YourNotificationServiceExtension")]
public class YourNotificationServiceExtension : NotificationServiceExtension
{
protected override void StartActivityForPushMessage(PushMessage message)
{
// base.StartActivityForPushMessage(message) starts default launcher activity
// or activity marked with ${applicationId}.MESSAGE action.
// Simply do not call it to override this behaviour.
// start your activity instead:
Intent launchIntent = new Intent(ApplicationContext, typeof(YourActivity));
launchIntent.SetFlags(ActivityFlags.NewTask);
ApplicationContext.StartActivity(launchIntent);
}
}
}
To customize the view of push notifications you need to create a custom Factory, you can create custom NotificationFactory and include fully qualified class name of your NotificationFactory in metadata under “com.pushwoosh.notification_factory” value.
<meta-data
android:name="com.pushwoosh.notification_factory"
android:value="com.your.package.YourNotificationFactory" / >
using System;
using Android.App;
using Android.Runtime;
using Pushwoosh.Notification;
[assembly: MetaData("com.pushwoosh.notification_factory",
Value = "com.your.package.YourAppNotificationFactory")]
namespace PushwooshSample
{
[Register("com/your/package/YourAppNotificationFactory")]
public class YourAppNotificationFactory : PushwooshNotificationFactory
{
public override Notification OnGenerateNotification(PushMessage pushData)
{
// TODO: generate and return custom notification
return base.OnGenerateNotification(pushData);
}
}
}
Pushwoosh provides Private endpoints for customers with Custom Plan subscriptions. To set up Private endpoint for SDK you need to add the following to your AndroidManifest.xml file:
<meta-data android:name="com.pushwoosh.base_url" android:value="PUSHWOOSH_PRIVATE_ENDPOINT_URL_PROVIDED" />
