61.6 Creating the Reply Action

The in-line reply will be accessible within the notification via an action button. This action now needs to be created and configured with an icon, a label to appear on the button, the PendingIntent object and the RemoteInput object. Modify the sendNotification() method to add the code to create this action:

.

.

import android.graphics.drawable.Icon;

import android.app.Notification;

import android.graphics.Color;

import androidx.core.content.ContextCompat;

.

.

public void sendNotification(View view) {

 

    String replyLabel = "Enter your reply here";

    RemoteInput remoteInput =

            new RemoteInput.Builder(KEY_TEXT_REPLY)

            .setLabel(replyLabel)
