Longer timeout or SMS messages #45

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
SMS messages are currently displayed for too short an amount o time to
read, a longer timeout or maybe even leaving the message on screen on xbmc
until it is read would be more better.

It would also be cool if sms were shown regardless of if the app was open
but I know this isn't a small addition, something to think about for the
future along with now playing in the android notifications bar.

Regarding the client code for the event server we use, it is not possible to 
set an
timeout for a notification. So there is no way to show it longer than it is 
right now.
So the notification is just what it is... a notification ;)
Sorry about that.

Don't know if it's really that cool to show it no matter if the app is open or 
not. A
few reasons I think about:
- everytime you receive an sms an extra thread has to be opened, trying to 
reach your
xbmc. I think most people won't be at home watching TV most of the time, so 
about 90%
it fails and just uses battery and bandwidth (over 3G or whatever)
- working on including more then one connection set for xbmc remote, so multiple
backends could be controlled. On which backend should the sms show up? Plus it
multiplies the first point ;)

Sorry thought about this feature too, but my 2 big negative points are up 
there...

I had feared that might be the case with the timeout, consider the issue closed
unless maybe email notifications and other notifications babbler for example are
possible. 

Still one of my favourite features of the remote always impresses people lol
