Does not display medication in notification

Open sphh opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

When I add more than one medication at the same time, the notification just shows, that (let's say) 3 meds are due, but does not tell you which one.

The app should tell you, which medication is due and not just the number of meds to take. For me, this is a serious bug, because if you rely on RxDroid, it would not tell you, which pill to take.

This is not a bug, because it works as was intended when the app was developed. Back then (more than 10 years ago), Android didn't allow you to display nearly as much info in a notification as it does now.

I'll keep it in mind as a feature request.

@jclehner, thanks for the explanation. I'm looking forward to see this implemented.

I don't know, if it is possible to design the notification in such a way, that confirmation for taking just one med is possible (but it's always possible to open the app from the notification and make the confirmation there, so this is of a very low importance).

Just to add to this, I track two different medications with RxDroid, which I take at two different times. Today I vagued out and took the wrong one. It would be great to have the name of the medication in the notification, but to aid further in differentiation, if possible it would also be helpful to have the custom icon of the medication in the notification too.

Because of private reasons, what is displayed on the lock screen should probably be configurable:

  • Show details of medications.
  • Show a summary (as it is shown now).
  • Just show a reminder to take your meds (without summary or details).
  • Do not show anything.

When unlocked the details should be shown.

Is that possible?

This makes sense to me.

  • Do not show anything.

I think this is already possible in Android? I never use it, but I think there's a function to configure what notifications are shown on the lock screen?
