Lunodiamonse · June 26, 2021, 7:23am

If I understood but this block has several values so I don’t know what to put in “values” of the creatFunction block.

The notification Style component doesn’t function properly with the extension, please wait for the fix by today.

IKHSAN_NUR_RAHMAAN_1 · June 26, 2021, 7:38am

@Xoma Ahhh i see… So what extension you are using on Background Tasks extension 3.0 A [STABILIZED] - #136 by Xoma ??

Xoma · June 26, 2021, 8:00am

I am using the Notification component one from Kodular. To enable it you have to Got to account → Settings → And turn on Experimental properties.

IKHSAN_NUR_RAHMAAN_1 · June 26, 2021, 10:25am

@Xoma Thankyou so much it works

But i have a problem, the notification display only 17, but the firebase was 17:19, 17:20, etc. How to fix this?

The_Revenger_Studios · June 26, 2021, 10:41am

So now is it possible to run download in background ?

Xoma · June 26, 2021, 10:41am

Can you please show me you’re firebase DB data?
Also, the foreground service is not required You may turn it off.

Also, make sure you use it correctly. Try to use the URI decode block. The extension just shows the one value got from the Firebase component.

Maybe, I’ve never tried it but.

The_Revenger_Studios · June 26, 2021, 10:52am

I am trying it but it’s not working

IKHSAN_NUR_RAHMAAN_1 · June 26, 2021, 11:04am

@Xoma Here is my firebase DB data

“Waktu” is a string value. But the notification shows “18”.
I dont know whats wrong

iamwsumit · June 26, 2021, 11:10am

It’s because you have not stored the value in a proper way.
If your value contains a special character or the value is a string that it must be stored in this way

"\" Your value\"'

Xoma · June 26, 2021, 11:33am

The notification style component doesn’t work. Just wait, the new version will support it!

IKHSAN_NUR_RAHMAAN_1 · June 26, 2021, 11:38am

@Xoma Owhh my bad, the data was send by arduino. im gonna change the arduino first.
Thankyou so much for your explanation

Extension 3.1 A

The new version is ready and includes the below changes:

Extension is now more likely to work with components like Notification style and other things .

It was my mistake actually… When the Notification style extension has called (.getClassName) while preparing for the start value for the notification, it would be null and it could not function.
Added support towards comparing objects/boolean values (true/false) and others like a string when any registered event is raised.

26.06.2021_17.52.26_REC789×561 25.9 KB

Here is the usage of the new component ExtraFunction. It’s the same as a function that will compare the texts and if the result is true it will call another function. It basically filters values.

Wherever you will use {$0} in the Extra function block that means the event values, its the same as the function block which replaces data.

For the function to know (differentiate) if the function Id is extra functions or the normal functions, you’ll need to add the dollar symbol before that.

To compare strings you should use "anotherstring".equals("comparingstring") or the equals segment. To compare numbers or true or false values you will have to use the = symbol twice like ({$0} == 7). Suppose the {$0} is the event value which means 7 the extension will replace and will compare it like this 7 == 7 and the condition is true so it’ll execute the function.

After the comparison, put a space and put :: with the function inside the function Id, then it’ll call the function, below is an example of how it works.

Also make sure not to put many spaces or the extension will fail to understand it.
The extension can also execute multiple items (provided as list). So you’ll be able to call many functions as well.

0 event value: "77" (this is string and NOT number)
functionId: "show-notification"


"{$0}".equals("77") :: function(show-notification)
"77".equals("77") :: function(show-notification)
true :: function(show-notification)

(now the result is true so it will call the function id 'show-notification')

Download the extension: com.kumaraswamy.tasks.aix (431.1 KB)
Download demo AIA file to work with notification style and with filtering the Firebase data change:

FirebaseFilter.aia (467.8 KB)

Make sure to update firebase token, and api, also the extension will only listen to the only tag text. You can change the value in the extra function block.

How to run a sensor-based app in the background? Like I want to run Accelometer in the background to get values?

Xoma · June 27, 2021, 4:15am

Hello, @gdeveloper

You can take a look to the post above, which includes pedometer sensor running in the Foreground service and accordingly it’ll send the simple steps event value to the firebase.

You may change the event and the component and try running it.

And a note to everyone:

Do not name the function Id with any upper case letters, If you will be using with the ExtraFunction Id, it will not work because of a bug.

IKHSAN_NUR_RAHMAAN_1 · June 27, 2021, 5:06am

Hello. Last time I successfully received the firebase data and displayed it in the notification. Now I want to fetch data from firebase then save in tinydb. But no data is saved. How to fix it?
The notification (data:data) is always " "

Thankyou

Xoma · June 27, 2021, 7:09am

Hi,

I’ve found the following mistakes in you’re blocks.

You have named the initialize function Name initialize which should be Initialize instead.
You’re registering the event late so it might not be triggered at first.

Also you’re blocks looks messy, what are you actually trying to achive?

IKHSAN_NUR_RAHMAAN_1 · June 27, 2021, 8:46am

@Xoma Im trying to save firebase data on tinyDB every data changed. Then show notification from tinyDB every hour.
