[Android] notification with inline reply

[lluis-sancho]

Summary

Added an action "ReplyInput" that will show in the notification a button with an inline reply (an input to write in).

Changes Introduced

When configuring the actions from React Native it is required to register an action named "ReplyInput", then schedule the notification with the action parameter as "ReplyInput" and two more parameters:

• reply_placeholder_text (Text shown in the placeholder of the input)
• reply_button_text (Action button text)

When the user writes in the input and press the send button, a parameter is added in the bundle to pass it to React Native. To get the text, you will receive it in "action.dataJSON" as "reply_text".

Updated Readme with a code explanation

@zo0r : Waiting for this PR to be merged. It's long pending, almost a year now. Would be nice to have this in-line reply feature of push notifications implemented for android.

@lluis-sancho : There seems to be conflict with the branch. It would be good to have it resolved and raise the PR again so that it can be merged.

Thanks.

Any update on this when this pull request is going to merge?
It's quite important when building a chat application.

Updated from master and resolved conflicts.

@lluis-sancho I have seen that you have mentioned the library https://github.com/holmesal/react-native-ios-notification-actions

But the admin has archived it and not maintaining it.

Do you have any other suggestions?

Hi @vikasg603
Take a look to the RNC/push-notification-ios library, actions are now included. (from 1.7.0)

[vikasg603]

Yeah, just checked.

[MadCoderme]

When will it be merged? This is really a cool feature! Would love to know the time 😃
