Are sounds implemented yet?

HI,

anything I am missing to get sounds to work?

here’s my init:

Push.init({

            bagde: true,
            sound: true,
            alert: true
        });

BTW, they seem to work fine on iOS if I am using one with push simulators.

The cordova-build-override folder might help http://guide.meteor.com/mobile.html#advanced-build

I can confirm that this solution worked for me on Android.

1. In root of your project create path /cordova-build-override folder
2. Place your audio file in a folder structure like this /cordova-build-override/platforms/android/res/raw/sound.mp3 Don’t use special characters and hyphens in sound file name
3. In config.push.json say “sound”: true
4. When sending push say sound: “sound” (sound.mp3 referred WITHOUT extension)

@raix can you add this into the docs and update the example app?

Possible solution for iOS (NOT TESTED): I assume for iOS you can use similar workflow but place the sound file in public folder and refer the file with full path of cordova build:

Push.send({
  ...
  apn:{
    //this should work because we added audio files in the public folder
    //so this file will be copied to cordova build into the path below
    sound: "www/application/app/sound.wav",
    ...
  },
  gcm: {
    //this will refer to the audio file we placed in /cordova-build-override
    sound: "sound",
    ...
  }
})

@mvgalle Great! Thanks for sharing, this works. If anyone is still having issues with this problem, here’s a summary of what worked for me, from start to finish, using a custom modification of raix:push [1]:

Create myalert.mp3 and myalert.wav. Load myalert.wav into this package via package.js:

...
api.addAssets('lib/public/myalert.wav','client');
api.export('Push')
...

Next, we need to add myalert.mp3 into a special folder to work with android. see @mvgalle’s post

#in your project's root
mkdir .meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/android/res/raw
cp path/to/myalertmp3 .meteor/local/cordova-build/platforms/android/res/raw/myalert.mp3

Your config.push.json should look like this:

{
  ...
  "sound":true
}

Your calls to Push.send should look like this:

Push.send({
  ...
  apn:{
    //this works because we added 'myalert.wav' as an asset to the custom push package.
    sound: "www/application/packages/yourname_push/lib/public/myalert.wav",
    ...
  },
  gcm: {
    //this will refer to the file we placed in '.meteor/local/.../android/res/raw'
    sound: "myalert",
    ...
  }
})

[1] To create a custom modification of raix:push, use git clone to pipe the source code of raix:push into yourproject/packages/push. Then modify the name in package.js to yourname:push. I did this because I needed to modify some source code of raix:push. If you don’t need to modify the source, then you can just put myalert.wav into yourproject/public, and meteor should load it into the www/application/... directory during the build.
