Help Textra Notifications

[El Presidente]

I've seen a few folk recommend it, so I recently switched from QKSMS to Textra.

On QKSMS, when an SMS came through, I had the option to Reply, Read (Dismiss) or Call via the entry in the notification pull down.

I can't see a similar function or option on Textra unless I'm missing something?

If it's not there, is there an xposed module that could potentially add that functionality?

I like Textra because it's lightweight and Spartan.

Perhaps what you really want is its big brother.

Check out "chomp SMS"

Same dev, same quality.

Only pretty sure it already does what you want - but, you know, pretty sure except in a pop-up. Not sure about notifications, don't remember.

I'll have a look. I'm not a fan of the in your face notification popup (especially if I'm watching something), but I'll have a play about and see what it can do.

Cheers .

No dice, unfortunately.

 

[EarlyMon]

Sorry.

 

[El Presidente]

Lol, not your fault.

It's not an essential, I just grew accustomed to having the buttons there and in the words of Cinderella, you don't know what you got till it's gone.

I went to Textra because it has "just enough" features to get the job done, fast and efficiently and it is pleasant to look at.

I used to use Chomp SMS, but it is too cluttered for my tastes.

 

[EarlyMon]

So you don't have an answer either.

I have a half assed workaround. If I set the "Tap Notification to Open" option to "Quick Reply with or without Keyboard" (it doesn't matter either way), I'll get a reply box when I press the floating notification banner. From there, I can reply, press the contact icon to call the number messaging me, or just press back to dismiss/read.

Not exactly what I was after, but it does the same in roughly the same amount of finger work.

Agree re. Chomp though, it looks nice, but it's a little cluttered for my liking.

I've been using yaata while it's still in beta. Tons of features and looks great.
