Remote-Notifications

A simple Program/Library to create popup notifications on one device from another device.

Usage

Commandline

Remote-Notifications can be used in the command line by starting a client with

java -jar Remote-Notifications.jar

and sending a notifications with

java -jar Remote-Notifications.jar -server -header=HEADER -message=MESSAGE -addresses='[{"addr": "RECEIVER_ADDRESS", "udp": RECEIVER_UDP_PORT, "tcp": RECEIVER_TCP_PORT}]'

-tcp=TCP_PORT or -udp=UDP_PORT can be added to the client start command to set the tcp/udp port to listen for notifications on.

To change config options, you can either change them in the config file in the "Remote-Notifications-Config" directory next to the jar file,

or using the Config Window that can be accessed by selecting the config option in the popup that appears when right-clicking the Tray Icon, or a Dialog style notification.

Library

If you want to send notifications from inside another application you will also need ToMe25s-Java-Utilities as Remote-Notifications is based on that library.

After you have sorted out all the dependency stuff, you just need to create a new instance of com.tome25.remotenotifications.client.Client to start a client,

or a new instance of com.tome25.remotenotifications.server.Server to start a server. Both of them will automatically read their config file, and initialize everything they need.

You can use the server like this

Server server = new Server();
server.getSender().send("HEADER", "MESSAGE");

to send a notification to the client set in the config file.

If you for want to change the config with code, you can do that like this

Client client = new Client();
client.getConfig().setConfig("PROPERTY", "VALUE");

for the client and like this

Server server = new Server();
server.getConfig().setConfig("PROPERTY", "VALUE");

for the server. Both of them will automatically write that to the config file.

If you want to get config properties you can do that like this

Client client = new Client();
Object value = client.getConfig().getConfig("PROPERTY");

for the client and like this

Server server = new Server();
Object value = server.getConfig().getConfig("PROPERTY");

for the server.

Client config properties:

• notification-style
• notification-time
• udp-port
• tcp-port
• confirm-exit
• servers

These can also be found as constants in com.tome25.remotenotifications.client.config.ClientConfig.

Server config properties:

• clients
• udp-port
• tcp-port

These can also be found as constants in com.tome25.remotenotifications.server.config.ServerConfig.
