is it possible to use custom sounds in xamarin android for background notification? I didnt find any examples.
Yep! Here's an example:
var pathToPushSound = $"android.resource://com.your.package/raw/{soundName}";
var soundUri = Android.Net.Uri.Parse(pathToPushSound);
var builder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(_context)
.SetContentTitle("TITLE")
.SetContentText("TEXT")
.SetPriority(1)
.SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.TransparentLogo)
.SetOngoing(true)
.SetSound(soundUri);
builder.Build();
The URI is the path to the resource where your sound file lives, then you set that URI in your NotificationBuilder using the SetSound method.

Microsoft official UWP vpn sample: UwpVpnPluginSample, in CreateAppProfile() part function as bellow.
// Hard coding parameters for the profile
VpnPlugInProfile profile = new VpnPlugInProfile();
...
**profile.ServerUris.Add(new Uri("http://10.137.192.135"));**
var returnedStatus = await agent.AddProfileFromObjectAsync(profile);
...
I don't kown what url to fill into "ServerUris" property, and what content should be provide in that url.
And :
var connectStatus = await agent.ConnectProfileAsync(pluginProfile);
the connectStatus always return Other or CannotFindProfile.
I have a Xamarin Android application in which I've bundled up some files as assets and I can access them like this: Android.App.Application.Context.Assets.Open(fileName)).
How would I go about doing this in an iOS application?
The NSBundle class is the closest equivalent with using a BundleResource build action:
Example:
var path = NSBundle.MainBundle.BundlePath;
var filePath = Path.Combine(path, "someDataFile.xml");
var someFileContents = File.ReadAllBytes(filePath);
There are also FromBundle overloads on some classes:
var image = UIImage.FromBundle("myimage.png");
I've been having some trouble moving Notification to the Compat library version: In the main library, I used to just convert an icon to a bitmap (api 23 and up) and do SetSmallIcon(icon) to show a dynamic notification icon.
But the Compat version has only an int argument (I assume it is the resource ID), and I cannot find any information as to how to generate/convert/add my bitmap and/or icon in it.
The bitmap Is basically generated text converted into a bitmap via a canvas which show the most vital information.
My question is: Is there a way to make a class variable into a resource, or get its ID that works like a resoource ID, or some other hack that will allow me to actually add my bitmap that I create at runtime?
You can use this code. Refer the line where icon is being used
var notificationBuilder = new NotificationCompat.Builder(this)
.SetSmallIcon(Resource.Drawable.NotifIconSis).SetColor(Android.Graphics.Color.Rgb(33, 150, 243))
.SetContentTitle(user.Organization)
.SetSubText(user.ModuleName).SetStyle(new NotificationCompat.BigTextStyle().BigText(user.BodyText))
.SetContentText(user.BodyText)
.SetAutoCancel(true)
.SetContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.Build();
var notificationManager = NotificationManagerCompat.From(Application.Context);
//var notification = RingtoneManager.GetDefaultUri(RingtoneType.Notification);
//var mp = MediaPlayer.Create(ApplicationContext, notification);
//mp.Start();
//notificationManager.Notify(redomId, notificationBuilder);
I am creating a Cortana skill on the Cortana canvas, I have a button.
I wanted to know if it possible to have an 'imback' type of button to open a webpage.
Ye, for example
var message = context.MakeMessage() as IMessageActivity;
message.ChannelData = JObject.FromObject(new
{
action = new { type = "LaunchUri", uri = "skype:echo123?call" }
});
await context.PostAsync(message);
this code will start a call with echo123 user on skype
Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/cortana/tutorials/bot-skills/bot-entity-channel-data
You can supply an openUrl to a card action, or even use ChannelData to send a LaunchUri command, deep linking to an application. (I haven't tried this, but I assume 'http://websitename.com' will launch in the Cortana host platform's default browser.)
activity.ChannelData = new {
action = new { type = "LaunchUri", uri = "http://websitename.com"}
};
I use WebClient for most of my requests from my WP7 app.
According to Google App Engine logs, the UserAgent is "NativeHost".
I would like to use appname, appversion + phone instead.
Is it possible to change this string when using a WebClient, or a GZip WebClient?
Okay, current working solution:
var headers = new WebHeaderCollection();
// http://dotnetbyexample.blogspot.fi/2011/03/easy-access-to-wmappmanifestxml-app.html
var am = new Util.AppManifest(); // gets appmanifest as per link above
var maker = Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceStatus.DeviceManufacturer;
var model = Microsoft.Phone.Info.DeviceStatus.DeviceName;
headers["user-agent"] = string.Format("{0} {1} {2} AppVersion {3}",
maker, model, "WP7.5", am.Version);
WebClient c = new WebClient();
c.Headers = headers;
Now, let's see how much info I can get on what make of phone the app is running on...
Yes, you will have to manually specify the UserAgent string on the WebClient class.
WebClient client = new WebClient ();
client.Headers.Add ("user-agent", "My App; V=2.1, PhoneType");
Obviously you will need to specify/derive the values you want to use in the UserAgent (AppName, Version and Phone).
