Creating a Notification Service
These step-by-step procedures show how to create access to INotificationService .
Before you begin, complete the following:
-
Add an Activator class to your plug-in using Eclipse.
-
On the Dependencies tab, add the following required dependencies:
-
com.sabre.edge.platform.core.common
-
com.sabre.edge.platform.optional.notifications
-
org.eclipse.ui
-
org.eclipse.core.runtime
After you add an Activator class, you are required to create access to INotificationService for all types of notifications. These steps show how.
-
Using Eclipse, open Activator.java.
-
Modify the Activator class to handle the new INotificationService service. After you make modifications to the code that is shown below, the service becomes accessible via the Activator.getDefault().getNotificationService() method.
-
Replace PLUGIN_ID with the ID of the plug-in project.
-
Replace PLUGIN_NAME with the name of the plug-in in the Activator.
-
Sample Java Code with Activator Class Modifications to Access INotificationService
package com.sabre.redapp.example.notifications;
import org.osgi.framework.BundleContext;
import com.sabre.edge.platform.core.common.plugin.base.AbstractBaseEdgePlugin;
import com.sabre.edge.platform.optional.notifications.INotificationService;
/**
* The activator class controls the plug-in life cycle
*/
public class Activator extends AbstractEdgeBasePlugin {
public static final String PLUGIN_ID = "com.sabre.redapp.example.notifications";
private INotificationService notifService;
private static Activator plugin;
/**
* The constructor
*/
public Activator() {
}
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
public void start(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
super.start(context);
plugin = this;
}
/**
* {@inheritDoc}
*/
public void stop(BundleContext context) throws Exception {
plugin = null;
super.stop(context);
}
/**
* Returns the shared instance
*
* @return the shared instance
*/
public static Activator getDefault() {
return plugin;
}
/**
* Returns Notification service.
*
* @return INotificationService service
*/
public INotificationService getNotificationService() {
return notifService;
}
}
-
Save your Java code.
