Libgdx Android Notifications

Newbie & Debugging Questions
#1

First of all, sorry if this is on the wrong board. I posted this topic on the Android section of the forums and it seems to be dead.

Hey guys, i’m using LibGDX to make an android game, and I wan’t to be able to use android notifications to notify the player about progress updates in the game.

Maybe I’m just over thinking, but I can’t figure out how to do it.

The tutorial on the android website (http://developer.android.com/guide/topics/ui/notifiers/notifications.html) provides a good amount of detail on how to do it, but in my LibGDX project none of the required libraries are there, and there aren’t any API’s I can download.

So if anyone could help me out and point me in the right direction I would appreciate it greatly!

Thanks,

The libraries aren’t there because you’re developing LibGDX app, not a pure Android one. If you want notifications the official way, download an Android IDE (Xamarin studio or Android studio) or the plugin for Eclipse, and make an actual Android app, not LibGDX app exported as an Android app. If you want it the LibGDX way (if it’s possible, I’m not sure about that), look around in the LibGDX documentation if there’s something there (or click this link).

And if no-one replies to your topic, it doesn’t necessarily mean the part of the forum is dead, it may likely mean that no-one knows good answer to your question (or there isn’t one).

Also, it’s “want”, not “wan’t”

If your project was set up correctly and you have all the needed Android files on your computer, you should be able to do it…

I cant believe I didn’t notice this. For some reason I was thinking that push notifications were something completely different than regular notifications.
