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