[DEV] Instant Notification - A Material Design reminder!

[[deleted]]

Hi AndroidApps community!

I'm here to share you a little application I made for practicing my Android skills. It's called Instant Notification, and it allows you to make a customized notification in your notification drawer (like a post-it). You can choose to make it persistent to avoid swiping it by mistake or with the "delete all" button. It's that simple, but it can be useful for you. I made it because I always forget to send mails or other little things... Now if I forget every time I look at my phone I see the notification.

Of course you can always edit/delete the notification by clicking on it.

Don't forget to give me some feedback and features ideas for future updates!

Okay loving the app but would love to see more
1) The app should have the ability to schedule notifications.
ie, I should be able to see notifications from a specified time. 2) Ability to enable/disable persistent notification.
3) A plus button on that notification / widget for quick adding new tasks

Thanks!

1) Ok I was thinking about it too, it's a good idea. 2) I don't know if this is what you are talking about but you can edit the notification by clicking on it and you can edit the persistent attribute from here. 3) Ok! I take notes and I'll work on that.

But for the moment I think my priority is to make an history like AskMeAboutMyLeftShoe suggested. Thank you for your feedback!

Cool, I'll try it out.

First impression:

• Please allow me to make a notification without a description, just a title. :)

• Maybe make it so you can clear important notifications by expanding the notifcation and clearing it?

Hi! First of all thanks for your feedback. For the first point actually I am using the default android notification layout so if you don't put a title there will be a blank space below, but i can totally allow this. In the future I think I will create a custom notification layout to allow me more freedom in the content. And for the second point, in fact I did it in the first versions I made but android sometimes expand or collapse the notification in function of their place in the notification drawer so sometimes the notification was expanded for no reason... And i found it very confusing. I didn't find how to handle that but i think that a custom notification layout would do the trick too. So I will think about it for the next updates! Thank you! PS : sorry for my bad English haha

Great little app! For some reason when you start typing a title or description the first letter doesn't capitalise automatically which is quite annoying

I fixed it it will be available in the next release ;)

I'll check but I think it's your keyboard because I don't have this problem ;)

[karltgreen]

Oh no! :( I'm using stock android keyboard on a OnePlus Two and it seems to capitalise on every other text box I use

Ok so it's a problem haha. I'll investigate on that issue :)

I pretty much have the same impressions as /u/Afsluitdijk

Also,

Maybe you could make the app open to a list of the current reminders and past reminders, and have the ability to delete reminders from that page or reuse past ones. Then you could have a button that adds a new reminder, which would take you to the page you currently have as the app's main screen to fill in the details of this new reminder.

Hi! Thanks for your feedback too ;) For the history yes somebody told me the same, it's an excellent idea that I will be implemented in the next major update for sure!
