# Titanium.Android.BigTextStyle

Helper object for generating large-format notifications that include a lot of text.

Extends
Titanium.Proxy

# Overview

If the platform does not provide large-format notifications, this style helper has no effect. The user will always see the normal notification view.

This style object attaches to a Titanium.Android.Notification object and modifies its behavior.

# Examples

# Big text style Example

var bigTextStyle = Titanium.Android.createBigTextStyle({
    bigText: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.",
    bigContentTitle: "Title for big text",
    summaryText: "Summary for big text"
});

// Create big text style notification
var notification = Titanium.Android.createNotification({
    contentTitle: 'Something Happened',
    contentText : 'Click to return to the application.',
    style: bigTextStyle,
    time: Date.now()
});

// Send the notification.
Titanium.Android.NotificationManager.notify(1, notification);

# Properties

# apiName READONLY

Availability
5.4.0
apiName :String

The name of the API that this proxy corresponds to.

The value of this property is the fully qualified name of the API. For example, Titanium.UI.Button returns Ti.UI.Button.

# bigContentTitle

Availability
5.4.0
bigContentTitle :String

Overrides contentTitle in the big form of the notification. This defaults to the value passed to contentTitle.

Default: Titanium.Android.Notification.contentTitle

# bigText

Availability
5.4.0
bigText :String

Sets the longer text to be displayed in the big form of the notification in place of the content text.

# bubbleParent

Availability
5.4.0
bubbleParent :Boolean

Indicates if the proxy will bubble an event to its parent.

Some proxies (most commonly views) have a relationship to other proxies, often established by the add() method. For example, for a button added to a window, a click event on the button would bubble up to the window. Other common parents are table sections to their rows, table views to their sections, and scrollable views to their views. Set this property to false to disable the bubbling to the proxy's parent.

Default: true

# lifecycleContainer

Availability
5.4.0
lifecycleContainer :Titanium.UI.Window | Titanium.UI.TabGroup

The Window or TabGroup whose Activity lifecycle should be triggered on the proxy.

If this property is set to a Window or TabGroup, then the corresponding Activity lifecycle event callbacks will also be called on the proxy. Proxies that require the activity lifecycle will need this property set to the appropriate containing Window or TabGroup.

# summaryText

Availability
5.4.0
summaryText :String

Set the first line of text after the detail section in the big form of the notification.

# Methods

# addEventListener

Availability
5.4.0
addEventListener(name, callback) → void

Adds the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

callback Callback<Titanium.Event>

Callback function to invoke when the event is fired.

Returns

Type
void

# applyProperties

Availability
5.4.0
applyProperties(props) → void

Applies the properties to the proxy.

Properties are supplied as a dictionary. Each key-value pair in the object is applied to the proxy such that myproxy[key] = value.

Parameters

Name Type Description
props Dictionary

A dictionary of properties to apply.

Returns

Type
void

# fireEvent

Availability
5.4.0
fireEvent(name[, event]) → void

Fires a synthesized event to any registered listeners.

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

event Dictionary

A dictionary of keys and values to add to the Titanium.Event object sent to the listeners.

Returns

Type
void

# removeEventListener

Availability
5.4.0
removeEventListener(name, callback) → void

Removes the specified callback as an event listener for the named event.

Multiple listeners can be registered for the same event, so the callback parameter is used to determine which listener to remove.

When adding a listener, you must save a reference to the callback function in order to remove the listener later:

var listener = function() { Ti.API.info("Event listener called."); }
window.addEventListener('click', listener);

To remove the listener, pass in a reference to the callback function:

window.removeEventListener('click', listener);

Parameters

Name Type Description
name String

Name of the event.

callback Callback<Titanium.Event>

Callback function to remove. Must be the same function passed to addEventListener.

Returns

Type
void
