RemoteInput

public final class RemoteInput
extends Object implements Parcelable

java.lang.Object
   ↳ android.app.RemoteInput


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

See Receiving Voice Input from a Notification 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 RemoteInput.Builder constructor) from the Bundle returned by getResultsFromIntent(Intent).

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

When the PendingIntent is fired, the intent inside will contain the input results if collected. To access these results, use the getResultsFromIntent(Intent) function. The result values will present under the result key passed to the RemoteInput.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);
 }

EXTRA_RESULTS_DATA

Added in API level 20
String EXTRA_RESULTS_DATA

Extra added to a clip data intent object to hold the results bundle.

Constant Value: "android.remoteinput.resultsData"

RESULTS_CLIP_LABEL

Constant Value: "android.remoteinput.results"

Public methods

addResultsToIntent

Added in API level 20
void addResultsToIntent (RemoteInput[] remoteInputs, 
                Intent intent, 
                Bundle results)

Populate an intent object with the 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 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 result per key.

describeContents

Added in API level 20
int describeContents ()

Describe the kinds of special objects contained in this Parcelable instance's marshaled representation. For example, if the object will include a file descriptor in the output of writeToParcel(Parcel, int), the return value of this method must include the CONTENTS_FILE_DESCRIPTOR bit.

Returns
int a bitmask indicating the set of special object types marshaled by this Parcelable object instance.

getAllowFreeFormInput

Added in API level 20
boolean getAllowFreeFormInput ()

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.

Returns
boolean

getChoices

Added in API level 20
CharSequence[] getChoices ()

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

Returns
CharSequence[]

getExtras

Added in API level 20
Bundle getExtras ()

Get additional metadata carried around with this remote input.

Returns
Bundle

getLabel

Added in API level 20
CharSequence getLabel ()

Get the label to display to users when collecting this input.

Returns
CharSequence

getResultKey

Added in API level 20
String getResultKey ()

Get the key that the result of this input will be set in from the Bundle returned by getResultsFromIntent(Intent) when the PendingIntent is sent.

Returns
String

getResultsFromIntent

Added in API level 20
Bundle getResultsFromIntent (Intent intent)

Get the remote input results bundle from an intent. The returned Bundle will contain a key/value for every result key populated by remote input collector. Use the getCharSequence(String) method to retrieve a value.

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.
Returns
Bundle

writeToParcel

Added in API level 20
void writeToParcel (Parcel out, 
                int flags)

Flatten this object in to a Parcel.

Parameters
out Parcel: The Parcel in which the object should be written.
flags int: Additional flags about how the object should be written. May be 0 or PARCELABLE_WRITE_RETURN_VALUE.

Hooray!
