Default XML for Status Notification

Question

I am looking to use custom XML to notify the status bar.

To use as a starting point, is there somewhere to find the default notification xml?

Thankyou.

Try the following :-)

https://github.com/android/platform_frameworks_base/blob/master/core/res/res/layout/status_bar_latest_event_content.xml

Have fun with that. --> <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:id="@+id/status_bar_latest_event_content" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" android:background="#FFFF00FF" <include layout="@layout/notification_template_material_base" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="wrap_content" /> </FrameLayout> 

Answer 2

See Create a custom advanced view on the Android Developers site.

I quote:

Create an XML Layout for an Advanced View. For example, create a layout file called custom_notification_layout.xml and build it like this:

 <LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:orientation="horizontal" android:layout_width="fill_parent" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:padding="3dp" > <ImageView android:id="@+id/image" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:layout_marginRight="10dp" /> <TextView android:id="@+id/text" android:layout_width="wrap_content" android:layout_height="fill_parent" android:textColor="#000" /> </LinearLayout> 

This layout is used for advanced but the contents of ImageView and TextView still need to be determined by application. RemoteViews offers some convenient methods that allow you to define this content ...
