  • Method Details

    • getPreferenceKeys

      LinkedHashMap<String,String> getPreferenceKeys()
      This method is responsible for returning a list of preference key names along with their corresponding labels that get rendered in the UI. For example, if you were creating a NotificationEmailDeliverer class, one of the key preferences that this method would return back would be "email_address" and the label would be "Email Address".
      Returns:
      LinkedHashMap

    • validatePreferenceValues

      void validatePreferenceValues(HashMap<String,String> prefs) throws ErrorList
      This method is responsible for validating preference values when a person saves their preferences for the particular NotificationMessageDeliverer. For example, if "phoneNumber" is one of the preferences for an SMS deliverer, then this method would be responsible for validating the value entered by a particular user such that it was properly constructed with hyphens or not, etc. Errors would be constructed and added to the ErrorList instance and be thrown from the method if any occurred.
      Throws:
      ErrorList

    • getName

    • dismiss

      void dismiss(MessageDelivery messageDelivery, String user, String cause) throws MessageDismissalException
      This method dismisses/removes the NotificationMessageDelivery so that it is no longer being presented to the user via this deliverer. Note, whether this action is meaningful is dependent on the deliverer implementation. If the deliverer cannot control the presentation of the message, then this method need not do anything.
      Parameters:
      messageDelivery - the messageDelivery to dismiss
      user - the user that caused the dismissal; in the case of end-user actions, this will most likely be the user to which the message was delivered (user recipient in the NotificationMessageDelivery object)
      cause - the reason the message was dismissed
      Throws:
      MessageDismissalException
