Showing the Feed

The Pulsate Inbox is a full message center embedded in your app. It renders campaign feed posts. Since SDK 4.7.0 the Feed is a Web Feed — its content and theme are served by Pulsate, so visual updates don’t require app releases.

Opening the Inbox

Section titled “Opening the Inbox”

showFeed launches the Inbox in its own Activity:

val pulsateManager = PulsateFactory.getInstance()
pulsateManager.showFeed(null)

Pass a listener to know when the user leaves the Feed — a good moment to refresh your unread badge:

pulsateManager.showFeed(object : IPulsateFeedListener {
    override fun onFeedClose() {
        refreshUnreadBadge() // see Badges
    }
})

The user closes the Feed with the back button.

Restricting access

Section titled “Restricting access”

If your app has a login, you can block the Inbox for unauthenticated users — see Feed Authorization.
