I'm trying show an icon and a text on my notification bar. So I created a new layout for that, however only the text shows up and the icon doesn't.
This is how I create the notification:
val notification = NotificationCompat.Builder(this, notificationChannelId)
.setOngoing(true)
.setContentTitle(getString(R.string.app_name))
.setCustomBigContentView(RemoteViews(packageName, R.layout.notification_view))
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_launcher)
.setPriority(NotificationCompat.PRIORITY_HIGH)
.setContentIntent(pendingIntent)
.build()
And this is my notification layout:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<ImageView
android:id="@ id/ic_someid"
android:layout_width="15dp"
android:layout_height="15dp"
app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_someicon" />
<TextView
android:id="@ id/text_sometext"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Test..." />
</LinearLayout>
My question is why does the icon doesn't show up in the notification bar?
CodePudding user response:
Replace app:srcCompat="@drawable/ic_someicon"
with android:src="@drawable/ic_someicon"
. You cannot use app
-prefixed attributes with any RemoteViews
scenario (custom notifications, app widgets, etc.).
