I have an app that sends push notifications to the user.
I want to add to every notification 2 buttons (actions), I think it's called Rich Notifications.
I didn't find enough information on how to do it, so I would really appreciate if someone could guide me here.
Thanks!
You need to add a notification category and the category will have notification actions. Those actions will define what the buttons say and what gets passed to your app when the user chooses one.
Googling the keyword you provide return many results. Why don't you pick one and try it out for yourself. One of it can be found on this link

I am building an app and in that am getting access for sending push notification, contacts and photos at three different time. But I don't want to trouble the user by asking it three different times.
How can I show a single alert and get access for all three with single tap?
Please help.
Unfortunately this is not possible, But the most close answer for your question is to present one elegant view that tells the user the benefits of giving permissions then after he clicks OK , show the alerts one after another. Then thank him for his favor :)
Take a look at this great article .
so I'm developing an application where a user might get a notification based on some action but I only want the user to receive one notification of a specific type. An example might illustrate this better:
Say a user on facebook makes a facebook post. If someone likes the post they'll get a notification. However, if 20 different people like that post I don't want 20 separate notifications when they finally check their phone. I want one notification that says '20 people have liked your post.' I also only want to track the new notifications. Say 20 people have liked your post. I don't want the notification for the next 5 who've liked your post to be '25 people have liked your post.' I want it to be '5 new people have liked your post.'
What I don't know how to do is delete a notification that got sent using Parse. An idea I thought of off the top of my head for recording new posts was to keep track of what the user has seen for that post but that seems silly. It's a large amount of data to keep track of, compared to querying for a previous notification to that user for that channel (is that possible?).
Anyways, I was hoping other users of Parse using push notifications might've faced this problem and how you all might've gotten around it. I would like to implement my own backend but I don't have the expertise and I'm currently focused on the client side. Any help or suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The thing is, you have don't have the control to cancel a Push Notification. However, you do have a control when to send even how to send it. If you want to implement something like you say, you have to do custom works on that. You might observe a period of time like 2-3 minutes whether there are more than for example 10 notifications you want to send. If so, send one instead.
Before iOS 8, Push Notification did have so many limitations like we can not have our own custom action. But now, I think Apple will let us do more as time goes by.
This might not be the best way but here's how I plan on implementing the feature. I'm going to add a notifications array to the user ([Notification objects]), this will also allow me to query for notifications for a possible notifications page. Say this were facebook and the user gets a new like notification on a post (1 like total).
I will create a new notification object and add it to the User object's notifications array with properties 'seen' set to false, 'prevNotificationLikes' set to 1, and then send out a notification. The message will be generic for singular/plural #'s of likes.
If someone else likes the post before the user responded to the push notification, I will see that the user hasn't 'seen' (false) the first notification and I will not send out a new notification.
Say 19 people like the post and then the user checks the initial notification and sets the 'seen' property to true. The next notification check on the cloud code for the 21st like will query to see if there are any previous notifications for that post/user. Parse cloud will then find a corresponding notification for that post/like where prevNotificationLikes is equal to 1 and update that number to 21. If the 'seen' property is set to true, then it'll send out a notification '20 new people have liked your post.' I know that the notifications are sent 1 step late with the fact that the user probably already knows that 19 people have liked the post but it'll be a compromise to get the job done.
Any critique is welcome. Sorry for wall of text instead of code. I'm just writing out my idea before writing the code so that I have something to follow along.
Hi i'm creating an iOS 7 app and would like "watch" for user selections and then trigger some event.
It's a mimic of the dictionary app that comes with iOS 7, that you can select a word and it defines it for you, but in this case other action will be taken when a word is selected (after it's selected).
Where can i find documentation on this subject? i have tried searching on google but found nothing...
Thanks, any pointers will be greatly appreciated.
You can use NSNotificationCenter. Post a notification when user selects a word, then having other objects to observe for that specific notification and take your actions
I'm in the middle of planning a project that would utilise the ability to create custom events from within an iOS application.
At the moment i've found plenty of code that allows you to do this but ideally I would like the user to be able to then navigate back into the application once the iCal reminder has fired, in a similar way a push notification does once the user hits the view button.
I've had a detailed look around but cannot find anything, does anyone know if this possible?
If it's not possible, does anyone know of a way to create dynamic push notifications from within the app?
Thanks in advance.
I am trying to make a simple app whereby a user selects a date/time in future and upon that date/time happening that a particular event happens.
How do I get about getting such a thing implemented?
Thanks
You want UILocalNotification.
Are you talking about getting Notification such as Alarm??
If yes, Local Notification is the same that you want. For using it please go through demo explanation : http://www.iostipsandtricks.com/ios-local-notifications-tutorial/
