RemoteInput Class

Definition

Namespace:

Android.App

Assembly:

Mono.Android.dll

A RemoteInput object specifies input to be collected from a user to be passed along with an intent inside a android.app.PendingIntent that is sent.

Remarks

A RemoteInput object specifies input to be collected from a user to be passed along with an intent inside a android.app.PendingIntent that is sent. Always use RemoteInput.Builder to create instances of this class. <p class="note"> See Replying to notifications for more information on how to use this class.

The following example adds a RemoteInput to a Notification.Action, sets the result key as quick_reply, and sets the label as Quick reply. Users are prompted to input a response when they trigger the action. The results are sent along with the intent and can be retrieved with the result key (provided to the Builder constructor) from the Bundle returned by #getResultsFromIntent.

public static final String KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT = "quick_reply";
            Notification.Action action = new Notification.Action.Builder(
                    R.drawable.reply, "Reply", actionIntent)
<b>.addRemoteInput(new RemoteInput.Builder(KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT)
                            .setLabel("Quick reply").build()</b>)
                    .build();

When the android.app.PendingIntent is fired, the intent inside will contain the input results if collected. To access these results, use the #getResultsFromIntent function. The result values will present under the result key passed to the Builder constructor.

public static final String KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT = "quick_reply";
            Bundle results = RemoteInput.getResultsFromIntent(intent);
            if (results != null) {
                CharSequence quickReplyResult = results.getCharSequence(KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT);
            }

Fields

EditChoicesBeforeSendingAuto	Obsolete. The platform will determine whether choices will be edited before being sent to the app.
EditChoicesBeforeSendingDisabled	Obsolete. Tapping on a choice should send the input immediately, without letting the user edit it.
EditChoicesBeforeSendingEnabled	Obsolete. Tapping on a choice should let the user edit the input before it is sent to the app.
ExtraResultsData	Extra added to a clip data intent object to hold the text results bundle.
ResultsClipLabel	Label used to denote the clip data type used for remote input transport
SourceChoice	Obsolete. The user selected one of the choices from #getChoices.
SourceFreeFormInput	Obsolete. The user manually entered the data.

Properties

AllowedDataTypes	Get possible non-textual inputs that are accepted.
AllowFreeFormInput	Get whether or not users can provide an arbitrary value for input.
Class	Returns the runtime class of this Object. (Inherited from Object)
Creator
EditChoicesBeforeSending	Gets whether tapping on a choice should let the user edit the input before it is sent to the app.
Extras	Get additional metadata carried around with this remote input.
Handle	The handle to the underlying Android instance. (Inherited from Object)
IsDataOnly	Returns true if the input only accepts data, meaning #getAllowFreeFormInput is false, #getChoices is null or empty, and #getAllowedDataTypes is non-null and not empty.
JniIdentityHashCode	(Inherited from Object)
JniPeerMembers
Label
LabelFormatted	Get the label to display to users when collecting this input.
PeerReference	(Inherited from Object)
ResultKey	Get the key that the result of this input will be set in from the Bundle returned by #getResultsFromIntent when the android.app.PendingIntent is sent.
