Notification.BigTextStyle | API reference | Android Developers (original) (raw)

public static class Notification.BigTextStyle
` extends [Notification.Style](/reference/android/app/Notification.Style) `

Helper class for generating large-format notifications that include a lot of text.

Here's how you'd set the BigTextStyle on a notification:

Notification notif = new Notification.Builder(mContext) .setContentTitle("New mail from " + sender.toString()) .setContentText(subject) .setSmallIcon(R.drawable.new_mail) .setLargeIcon(aBitmap) .setStyle(new Notification.BigTextStyle() .bigText(aVeryLongString)) .build();
