Badge Notification

[marcelloe]

I want to use the badge notification to put a number next to the icon if there is an image in one of the Graphics. Do I need to use the Push notification that is used in the lesson?

Thanks

Mark

HI Mark,

All you would need to do is use the iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue command to set this number when an image is imported.

You can test this by creating a button and then placing the following script-

on mouseUp
iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue 10
end mouseUp

You should notice the number "10" next to your iOS app icon.

Kind Regards

This is what i am trying to do to set the badge notification. Am I on the right path?

Code: Select all

function iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue ()
 repeat with x = 1 to 5
if image x is not empty then
 iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue to x
end repeat
end if
end iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue

Hi Mark,

You were almost there

A few things i noted were-

- You were trying to call the iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue as a function. For simplicity I have turned this into a handler.
- You are not setting iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue in your script so you need to remove the "to"
- the end if was in the wrong place (swapped with end repeat)

Code: Select all

on iphoneSetBadge
   repeat with x = 1 to 5
      if image x is not empty then
         iphoneSetNotificationBadgeValue x
      end if
   end repeat
end iphoneSetBadge

Kind Regards
