Android Question Notification Listener from "Example of #Extends in Service"

wes58 · May 3, 2019

I have been trying to use #Extends Attribute, and I found this thread with Notification Listener library https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/example-of-extends-in-service.74880/#content
I added to the example a code to clear one notification:

B4X:

Sub Clear(sbn As StatusBarNotification)
    listener.ClearNotification(sbn)
End Sub

Where sbn is a StatusBarNotification received in sub Listener_NotificationPosted(SBN As StatusBarNotification)
When I try to clear one notification, I get this error:

B4X:

notificationservice_clear (java line: 130)
java.lang.RuntimeException: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Expected receiver of type android.service.notification.NotificationListenerService, but got anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.NotificationListenerWrapper$NotificationListener
    at anywheresoftware.b4a.objects.NotificationListenerWrapper$NotificationListener.ClearNotification(NotificationListenerWrapper.java:90)
    at b4a.notificationlistener.notificationservice._clear(notificationservice.java:130)

It's probably a question for Erel, since he made this library for this example. But anyone is welcome with any suggestions.

Is this the full error message?

I though that this is the most important part.
But here is the full message.

B4X:

    ... 11 more

And here is the code just for testing, that calls the sub in the Notificationservice:
sbnlist is a List to which sbn notifications posted are added to in the Listener_NotificationPosted sub

B4X:

Sub btnClear_Click
    Dim i As Int
    Dim j As Int
    j = EditText1.Text
    Log("size " & sbnlist.Size)
    If sbnlist.Size > 0 Then
        For i = 0 To sbnlist.Size-1
            Dim sbn As StatusBarNotification
            sbn = sbnlist.Get(i)
            Log("i " & i & " j " & j & " sbnid " & sbn.Id & " " & sbn.PackageName)
            If j = sbn.Id Then
                CallSubDelayed2(NotificationService, "Clear", sbn)
                Exit
            End If
        Next
    End If
End Sub

Is there any advantage of clearing the way you do in your java library - i.e. ClearNotification(sbn), instead of clearing by an sbn.id like this?

B4X:

    /**
     * clear one notification with ID
     */
    public  void  ClearNotificationID(int id){
            Context context = BA.applicationContext;
            NotificationManager notificationManager = (NotificationManager) context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
            notificationManager.cancel(id);
    }

This code works.

I still would like to know how to fix this error, if possible.

What is the output of:

B4X:

Sub Clear(sbn As StatusBarNotification)
    Log(sbn)
    Log(GetType(sbn))
    listener.ClearNotification(sbn)
End Sub

Here it is:

Might be a bug in the library. Can you upload the project?

It is just your example in this thread https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/example-of-extends-in-service.74880/#content. with added sub to clear single sbn.
I am working on something else with trying to extend the service, but when I came across your example, I wanted to try it first and that's where I found the problem.

If possible please upload the project.

Since I didn't get a solution and the method of clearing the notification that I posted in post #4, only allows you to clear your own notifications I had to find the solution to the bug in the library posted in https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/example-of-extends-in-service.74880/#content myself.
Unfortunately to do it I had to decompile the library to see the source code. The function to clear notification - public void ClearNotification(StatusBarNotificationWrapper SBN) - is located in NotificationListener class.
The function is like this:

B4X:

public void ClearNotification(StatusBarNotificationWrapper SBN) {
        StatusBarNotification sbn = (StatusBarNotification) SBN.getObject();
        if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
            try {
                String key = (String) sbn.getClass().getMethod("getKey").invoke(sbn);
                this.owner.getClass().getMethod("cancelNotification", String.class).invoke(this, key);
            } catch (Exception var4) {
                throw new RuntimeException(var4);
            }
        } else {
            this.owner.cancelNotification(sbn.getPackageName(), sbn.getTag(), sbn.getId());
        }

    }

The error message indicated RuntimeException that occurred in try-catch.
This meant that the problem was, that this function should be in NotificationListenerWrapper extends NotificationListenerService class.
So to fix it, I put in NotificationListenerWrapper extends NotificationListenerService class, function

B4X:

public void ClearNotification(StatusBarNotification SBN) {                             //changed from StatusBarNotificationWrapper to StatusBarNotification
        StatusBarNotification sbn = (StatusBarNotification) SBN.getObject();
        if (VERSION.SDK_INT >= 21) {
            try {
                String key = (String) sbn.getClass().getMethod("getKey").invoke(sbn);
                this.getClass().getMethod("cancelNotification", String.class).invoke(this, key);
            } catch (Exception var4) {
                throw new RuntimeException(var4);
            }
        } else {
            this.cancelNotification(sbn.getPackageName(), sbn.getTag(), sbn.getId());
        }

    }

and in NotificationListener class function:

B4X:

public void ClearNotification(StatusBarNotificationWrapper SBN) {
        StatusBarNotification sbn = (StatusBarNotification) SBN.getObject();
        owner.ClearNotification(SBN);
    }

That's it.
