RemoteInput

class RemoteInput : Parcelable
kotlin.Any
   ↳ android.app.RemoteInput

A RemoteInput object specifies input to be collected from a user to be passed along with an intent inside a android.app.PendingIntent that is sent. Always use RemoteInput.Builder to create instances of this class.

See Replying to notifications for more information on how to use this class.

The following example adds a RemoteInput to a Notification.Action, sets the result key as quick_reply, and sets the label as Quick reply. Users are prompted to input a response when they trigger the action. The results are sent along with the intent and can be retrieved with the result key (provided to the Builder constructor) from the Bundle returned by getResultsFromIntent.

public static final String KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT = "quick_reply";
  Notification.Action action = new Notification.Action.Builder(
          R.drawable.reply, "Reply", actionIntent)
          <b>.addRemoteInput(new RemoteInput.Builder(KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT)
                  .setLabel("Quick reply").build()</b>)
          .build();

When the android.app.PendingIntent is fired, the intent inside will contain the input results if collected. To access these results, use the getResultsFromIntent function. The result values will present under the result key passed to the Builder constructor.

public static final String KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT = "quick_reply";
  Bundle results = RemoteInput.getResultsFromIntent(intent);
  if (results != null) {
      CharSequence quickReplyResult = results.getCharSequence(KEY_QUICK_REPLY_TEXT);
  }

Public methods

addDataResultToIntent

Added in API level 26
static fun addDataResultToIntent(
    remoteInput: RemoteInput!,
    intent: Intent!,
    results: MutableMap<String!, Uri!>!
): Unit

Same as addResultsToIntent but for setting data results. This is used for inputs that accept non-textual results (see Builder#setAllowDataType). Only one result can be provided for every mime type accepted by the RemoteInput. If multiple inputs of the same mime type are expected then multiple RemoteInputs should be used.

Parameters
remoteInput RemoteInput!: The remote input for which results are being provided
intent Intent!: The intent to add remote input results to. The ClipData field of the intent will be modified to contain the results.
results MutableMap<String!, Uri!>!: A map of mime type to the Uri result for that mime type.

addResultsToIntent

Added in API level 20
static fun addResultsToIntent(
    remoteInputs: Array<RemoteInput!>!,
    intent: Intent!,
    results: Bundle!
): Unit

Populate an intent object with the text results gathered from remote input. This method should only be called by remote input collection services when sending results to a pending intent.

Parameters
remoteInputs Array<RemoteInput!>!: The remote inputs for which results are being provided
intent Intent!: The intent to add remote inputs to. The ClipData field of the intent will be modified to contain the results.
results Bundle!: A bundle holding the remote input results. This bundle should be populated with keys matching the result keys specified in remoteInputs with values being the CharSequence results per key.

describeContents

Added in API level 20
fun describeContents(): Int
Return
Int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance. Value is either 0 or android.os.Parcelable#CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR

getAllowFreeFormInput

Added in API level 20
fun getAllowFreeFormInput(): Boolean

Get whether or not users can provide an arbitrary value for input. If you set this to false, users must select one of the choices in getChoices. An IllegalArgumentException is thrown if you set this to false and getChoices returns null or empty.

getAllowedDataTypes

Added in API level 26
fun getAllowedDataTypes(): MutableSet<String!>!

Get possible non-textual inputs that are accepted. This can be null if the input does not accept non-textual values. See Builder#setAllowDataType.

getChoices

Added in API level 20
fun getChoices(): Array<CharSequence!>!

Get possible input choices. This can be null if there are no choices to present.

getDataResultsFromIntent

Added in API level 26
static fun getDataResultsFromIntent(
    intent: Intent!,
    remoteInputResultKey: String!
): MutableMap<String!, Uri!>!

Similar as getResultsFromIntent but retrieves data results for a specific RemoteInput result. To retrieve a value use:

<code>Map&lt;String, Uri&gt; results =
      RemoteInput.getDataResultsFromIntent(intent, REMOTE_INPUT_KEY);
  if (results != null) {
    Uri data = results.get(MIME_TYPE_OF_INTEREST);
  }
  </code>

Parameters
intent Intent!: The intent object that fired in response to an action or content intent which also had one or more remote input requested.
remoteInputResultKey String!: The result key for the RemoteInput you want results for.
