Treehouse Moderator 145,860 Points**[SOLVED]** Always the simplest thing to trip me up... So, some help, please.
Task 5 of 5.
I've tried many things and have read the Docs so many times, I can probably recite them.
No hints, please. I know the problem is the last line of included code... I know it's something simple I am missing... I just can't figure what.
public class DistressCallReceiver extends BroadcastReceiver {
private NotificationManager notificationManager;
@Override
public void onReceive(Context context, Intent intent) {
// Add your code here!
Notification.Builder notificationBuilder = new Notification.Builder(context)
.setSmallIcon(R.drawable.ic_distress)
.setContentTitle("Incoming Distress Signal")
.setContentText("A distress call has been received from somewhere in space and time.");
Notification notification = notificationBuilder.build();
context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
notification.notify(32, notificationBuilder); //the problem is here
}
}

Treehouse Moderator 145,860 PointsWell,
After more than a few hours on Google and Stack Overflow, I figured the problem comes from Task 4. What I had entered for Task 4 should not have passed the challenge, as it was NOT the correct code. Where I had
context.getSystemService(Context.NOTIFICATION_SERVICE);
It should have been
As we specifically needed a
NotificationManager
variable to use for the next Challenge.From there, Task 5 is simple! Call the method to notify with an
int
as the first argument andnotification
for the second (Straight from the Docs). Once you actually have anotificationManager
variable to use... You getnotificationManager.notify(0, notification);
Simple solution that I understand, but only when you have the right code after the 4th Task
Ben Jakuben, could you please check Task 4...and why my (now obvious) incorrect code passed... it could've saved me about 3 hours of banging my head against the wall. Lol. :)
