Carousel Push

Carousel Push functionality allows you to show your notification with a slideshow.

Requirements

Android SDK 2.0.0+

Before you start, you need to define your receiver in your manifest file.

Defining Custom Receiver

<receiver android:name=".MyReceiver"  
  android:exported="false">   <!-- change NotificationReceiver to .MyReceiver -->
<intent-filter>
        <action android:name="com.dengage.push.intent.RECEIVE" />
        <action android:name="com.dengage.push.intent.OPEN" />
        <action android:name="com.dengage.push.intent.DELETE" />
        <action android:name="com.dengage.push.intent.ITEM_CLICK" /> <!-- add this line-->
        <action android:name="com.dengage.push.intent.CAROUSEL_ITEM_CLICK" /><!-- add this line-->
        <action android:name="com.dengage.push.intent.ACTION_CLICK" />
      </intent-filter>
 </receiver>

Preparing Custom Layouts

The SDK uses a custom layout for the functionality. It means you need to set your layout first in your res folder. At the same time, We prepared 2 pre-build layouts that you can easily use;

Landscape
Portrait

To use them, Please add _den_carousel_landscape.xml or dencarousel_portrait.xml file to your layouts directory.

den_carousel_landscape.xml

Note: You will need to change drawable items with yours.

Please note that you can always edit these layouts or create a new one.

Building Notification

To use a custom layout for the notification requires building a message by the developer with the layout.

First, please create your receiver class extends from NotificationReceiver and override the methods below;

onRender
onReRender

class PushNotificationReceiver : NotificationReceiver() {
    override fun onCarouselRender(context: Context, intent: Intent?, message: Message?) {
        // build carousel message with a custom layout. In this case, we will use dengage_carousel_landscape.xml and dengage_carousel_portrait.xml files.
    }
    override fun onCarouselReRender(context: Context, intent: Intent?, message: Message?) {
        // Re-build carousel message with a custom layout to slide item next/prev. 
    }
}

Building Carousel

Copy the codes below to your receiver class.

class PushNotificationReceiver : NotificationReceiver() {

    override fun onCarouselRender(
        context: Context,
        intent: Intent,
        message: Message,
        leftCarouselItem: CarouselItem,
        currentCarouselItem: CarouselItem,
        rightCarouselItem: CarouselItem
    ) {
        super.onCarouselRender(
            context,
            intent,
            message,
            leftCarouselItem,
            currentCarouselItem,
