iOS Local Push Notifications

[GhostDZ9]

Hi Guys,

I have read the documentation on developer.apple.com about the push notifications however I still can seem to get it right, is there someone I can talk to who can guide me on how to build local push notifications for my app?

Regards,

Ghost

Local *push* notifications? You mean local notifications? Sure, here ya go:

UILocalNotification* note = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
note.fireDate = [NSDate date];
note.timeZone = [NSTimeZone defaultTimeZone];
note.repeatInterval = NSDayCalendarUnit;
note.alertBody = NSLocalizedString(@"It's a notification!",@"");
note.alertAction = NSLocalizedString(@"Hi there",@"");
[[UIApplication sharedApplication] scheduleLocalNotification:note];
[note release];

appdelegate =

- (void)application:(UIApplication *)application didReceiveLocalNotification:(UILocalNotification *)notification {
    NSLog(@"This was fired off");
}

viewDidload

UIApplication *app                = [UIApplication sharedApplication];
    UILocalNotification *notification = [[UILocalNotification alloc] init];
    NSArray *oldNotifications         = [app scheduledLocalNotifications];
    
    if ([oldNotifications count] > 0) {
        [app cancelAllLocalNotifications];
    }
    
    if (notification == nil)
        return;
    
    NSDate *notificationDate = [NSDate dateWithTimeIntervalSinceNow:10];
    
    notification.fireDate  = notificationDate;
    notification.timeZone  = [NSTimeZone systemTimeZone];
    notification.alertBody = @"Woop example";
    
    [app scheduleLocalNotification:notification];
    
    [notification release];

If the viewDidload is called, minus ur app, and wait 10 secs gl

Great thanks guys, Ill try these out now, do you guys know if alerts work outside the app when it isn't launched?

Afaik, u need the push notifications from Apple then, which is something totally different.. Sorry, no experience with that.

Well I want to have it so when the user sets a time for when they have to be back it shows a notification with the notes that they have entered in, how can i customize the code that you have given me?
