Notification??

[ahmedinvent24BUSGdU9]

Hello
I was searching for how to make a local notification.
I found this code in the lessons

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   local tCurrentTime, tNotificationTime, tAlertBody, tAlertButton, tAlertMessage, tSound
   put the seconds into tCurrentTime
   
   put field "alertbody" into tAlertBody
   put field "alertbutton" into tAlertButton
   put field "message" into tAlertMessage
   put tCurrentTime + word 1 of field "seconds" into tNotificationTime
   put the hilite of button "sound" into tSound
    
   mobileCreateLocalNotification tAlertBody, tAlertButton, tAlertMessage, tNotificationTime, tSound
end mouseUp

That was great!

But my Question is how to make it notify at a specific day and time for example, 17/4/2013 at 4:07 PM!
And how to change the notification icon

Thanks

Hi Ahmed,
Be careful about format date
17/4/2013 don't exist
use month/day/Year
4/17/2013

I think you need a pending message to check the time
something like that (no tested)

Code: Select all

local sAlertTime
on startCheckTime
   put fld "myAppointment" into sAlertTime
   convert sAlertTime to seconds
   send "doCheckTime" to me in 10 milliseconds
end startCheckTime

on doCheckTime
   if the seconds = sAlertTime then
      -- do what you want
   end if
   if doCheckTime is not in the pendingmessages then
      send doCheckTime to me in 60 seconds
   end if
end doCheckTime

on stopPending pPending
   repeat for each line aLine in the pendingmessages
      if aLine contains pPending then
         cancel item 1 of aLine
      end if
   end repeat
end stopPending

and don't forget

Code: Select all

on closecard 
   stopPending doCheckTime
end closecard

Sorry no idea to change the notification icon
Best regards

Hi Jean-Marc

Hi Ahmed
Something equivalent of your mouseup script I think
and sorry
not

Code: Select all

   if the seconds = sAlertTime then

but

Code: Select all

   if the seconds > sAlertTime then

I'm confused... I suspect this is for mobile, yet it is in the 'Commercial Developers' section of the forum.. So, the question is what's it for 'mobile' or the desktop ?

Hi Ahmed,

Just add an answer dialog when time id over

Code: Select all

on doCheckTime
   if the seconds = sAlertTime then
      answer "Happy birthday Brother"
   end if
   if doCheckTime is not in the pendingmessages then
      send doCheckTime to me in 60 seconds
   end if
end doCheckTime

Best regards
