[Free] ⚠ ImageNotifier

[TIMAI2]

1. Introduction

• Description: a sister extension to the AltNotifier, this simple extension has two methods not found in the standard notifier component that allow the developer to display an image in a notifier.
• Latest version: 4.0
• Released: 2021-09-15T23:00:00Z
• Last updated: 2022-08-21T23:00:00Z
• Tested: Android 10 & 11, companion and compiled
• Built: Using the Rush Extension Builder by @ Shreyash

2. Blocks

• In both method blocks the developer can provide a Title and a Caption for the imageNotifier. Use a blank text block if not required.
• Both blocks also offer a maxSize feature. A value of 600 works well for most images, a lower number will provide a smaller image, a higher number a bigger image.

@patel

Can I show a png in asset ?

You will need to define the path to the asset (or copy the asset to the ASD)

@TIMAI2

The developer needs, as a minimum, to provide an absolute file path to the image

Make a procedure with file component:
