they do not have any layout.
B4X:
Dim n As Notification
n.Initialize
n.Icon = "icon"
n.SetInfo("This is the title", "and this is the body.", Main) 'Change Main to "" if this code is in the main module.
n.Notify(1)More powerful is the notificationbuilder class
NB6 - Notifications Builder
Background For a long time there were two ways for B4A developers to show notifications: - Simple notifications with the built-in Notification object. - More complex notifications with barx's NotificationBuilder library. Thank you barx for all your work!!! The notifications features changed a...

NO!
A Notification does not include any other layouts.
You can use an Icon, a text to show and maybe some settings to show a longer text.
there is a possibility to extend a notification with some actionbuttons. But the layout is given by Android.
I can not help on this though. Never needed Notifications with actionbuttons.

No, never build such a layout. You need to do it by yourself

It seems the items are expandable, you could use this, based in xCustomListView too

[B4X] CLVExpandable - Allows expanding or collapsing xCustomListView items
This class replaces the custom CustomListView module (https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-xui-expandable-list-based-on-xcustomlistview.86449/). It works with the standard xCustomListView library. It is compatible with B4A, B4i and B4J. Instructions: An expandable item layout should...

Ok, we assume you are using xCustomList view. This is a nice approach since you can layout one row something like this:
And as per say xCustomListView example, then your code to load up one row will look like:
So, in above, (use the DateUtils library - the above line for label3.text = shows the format I used.
So, the result should look something like this:
So the line for date assumes that myDt has a date. In the above, I just passing "i" in a for next loop, but in your case you would be grabbing data from the database.
So my small loop that feeds the "one row load" routine is this:
(in your case, you could/would pass the row of data.

And as per say xCustomListView example, then your code to load up one row will look like:
B4X:
Sub LoadOneRow(i As Int) As B4XView
Dim p As B4XView = xui.CreatePanel("")
p.SetLayoutAnimated(0 ,0,0,100%x, 180dip)
p.LoadLayout("OneRow")
Label1.Text = Label1.Text & " " & i
Label2.Text = "Hello xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" & CRLF & "Next line of some annoucement text"
Dim myDt As Long = DateTime.Now
Label3.Text = DateUtils.GetDayOfWeekName(myDt) & ", " & DateUtils.GetMonthName(myDt) & " " & DateTime.GetDayOfMonth(myDt)
p.Tag = i
Return p
End SubSo, in above, (use the DateUtils library - the above line for label3.text = shows the format I used.

Next

This is for the layout itself. Correct.
But the question in #13 was about the Dateformat used.
@ProjectGroup19 you need to set the correct DateFormat to get the wanted result
15th is language specific i guess. In germany there is no such thing. it is always "[dayinmonth]." (1. Jan, 2. Jan, 15. Jan)
I guess this is near your wish
B4X:
Dim today As Long = DateTime.Now
DateTime.DateFormat = "EEE d MMM yyyy"
Log($"${DateTime.Date(today)}"$)

Thanks for jumping in - I am still rather new to B4A - but helping out folks is a real great way to learn.
I cobbled together this code for the user:
So the above (certainly a bit messy) will result in the date format as text as noted.
I think the user wanted full week day text, and same for month text.
So this for the new user will give the whole text for month, and whole text for the day of week.
However, how is DateTime.DateFormat localized to the one bit of code?
If this is a global change, then I assume that one "really" better always set the desired format before use then? (or set it back after use?).
Is there a way to scope that dateformat to the one routine? (say create a instance of DateTime?).
As a general rule, I don't like global scoped changes for things like a simple date display, but if that's the B4A way, then I keep this in mind.

You are most welcome. I am relative new here too. The challenge here is what UI choice is a good one? There is overlap in many of the choices. So, what to use? So do I use a listview, tableview, a scollview, or even some panel that expands? Which UI does one choose - that's a real trick! It hard to know the optional choice! (but, I do love how xCustomListView allows one to lay out one row with the designer - so far this is my #1 favorite feature I found in B4A).
I am not used to having to dig so much for a how to do things. However it is great on my part - this means I am not the "know it all" in the room!!
The example layout took me very little time. I actually spent more time searching after I dropped the imageview on the designer, and THEN how come the designer does not show a list of images that I included in the project for a choice? That little side trip took me longer then the whole post and building the example!!!
So I learned that after adding files to the project (main IDE - windows->Files manager). You THEN have to add the files "again" while in the layout designer. And THEN you can use the combo box to select the image for the imageview control. So some extra steps and a few jumps was required to select the image for above! I will not forget how that works after that side track show!!!!
So, I share the "fog" of learning here! - but then again - its still fun to learn new things - and thankfully B4A has a great forum, great people, and I am growing fond of the whole system and approach that B4A uses.

[OT]
To @ProjectGroup19 and all the other New Members I would like to point out just a small note.
Many Expert Users could give the "Ready Code Solution" to nearly every question in minutes.
Often this does not happen, instead the answers are links to other threads that contains the informations needed to solve the problem but yet not the finished code.
It's then expected that the new member post some code to show that he is trying to move some steps to the solution.
That's has 2 major advantages:
- the New Member start to study and code and things will remain impressed in his mind;
- Advanced Users see the effort and are more than happy to explain and correct the code.
Obtaining directly the code needed can put a member in the condition Not To Learn but just to Assemble.
This post is absolutely not a Criticism but a Hint or Guideline to Understand Coding.
