App Inbox

The CleverTap React Native SDK provides the capability to create App Inbox notifications for your users.
You can use the App Inbox provided by CleverTap or create your own.
You can design App Inbox notifications right from the dashboard.

Android

On the Android side, add the following inbox dependencies in your app's build.gradle.

//MANDATORY for App Inbox

implementation 'androidx.appcompat:appcompat:1.3.1'
implementation 'androidx.recyclerview:recyclerview:1.2.1'
implementation 'androidx.viewpager:viewpager:1.0.0'
implementation 'com.google.android.material:material:1.4.0'
implementation 'com.github.bumptech.glide:glide:4.12.0'

//Optional ExoPlayer Libraries for Audio/Video Inbox Messages. Audio/Video messages will be dropped without these dependencies

implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer:2.15.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-hls:2.15.1'
implementation 'com.google.android.exoplayer:exoplayer-ui:2.15.1'

React-Native

Initializing the Inbox provides a callback to two methods inboxDidInitialize() and inboxMessagesDidUpdate()

CleverTap.initializeInbox();

Configure styling and show the inbox by:

Customize the config object and call the Inbox in the inboxDidInitialize() method
Call this method on the button click which opens the CleverTap Inbox for your App

CleverTap.addListener(CleverTap.CleverTapInboxDidInitialize, (event) => {
        _handleCleverTapInbox(CleverTap.CleverTapInboxDidInitialize, event);
    });

function _handleCleverTapInbox(eventName, event) {
    console.log('CleverTap Inbox Event - ', eventName, event);
    CleverTap.showInbox({
        'tabs': ['Offers', 'Promotions'],
        'navBarTitle': 'My App Inbox',
        'navBarTitleColor': '#FF0000',
        'navBarColor': '#FFFFFF',
        'inboxBackgroundColor': '#AED6F1',
        'backButtonColor': '#00FF00',
        'unselectedTabColor': '#0000FF',
        'selectedTabColor': '#FF0000',
        'selectedTabIndicatorColor': '#000000',
        'noMessageText': 'No message(s)',
        'noMessageTextColor': '#FF0000'
    });
}

When a new inbox message arrives, the SDK provides the inboxMessagesDidUpdate() callback

CleverTap.addListener(CleverTap.CleverTapInboxMessagesDidUpdate, (event) => {
        _handleCleverTapInbox(CleverTap.CleverTapInboxMessagesDidUpdate, event);
    });

function _handleCleverTapInbox(eventName, event) {
    console.log('CleverTap Inbox Event - ', eventName, event);
}
