Once authenticated, users can send or receive messages, which are tied to a Conversation
A Conversation is created by calling:
stringeeclient.createConversation(participants, options, new CallbackListener<Conversation>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(final Conversation conv) {
}
@Override
public void onError(final StringeeError error) {
}
});
In which:
participants: A list of participants:
List<User> participants;
options: Conversation options to use when constructing the conversation:
ConversationOptions options;
CallbackListener: The result callback.
To create a Chat 1-1 Conversation, you must pass participants with only one user and options as below:
ConversationOptions options = new ConversationOptions();
options.setName(conversation's name);
options.setGroup(false);
options.setDistinct(true);
A Chat 1-1 Conversation is a distinct Conversation by default. You can not add participants to a Chat 1-1 Conversation.
If you pass participants with more than one user, the Conversation is created as a Group Chat Conversation.
To create a Group Chat Conversation, you pass options as:
ConversationOptions options = new ConversationOptions();
options.setGroup(true);
You can add or remove participants to/from a Group Chat Conversation.
If a Conversation is created as a distinct Conversation, it's unique on Stringee server. This means, multiple users independently create distinct Conversations with the same set of users, the server will automatically merge the conversations.
Once a Distinct Conversation has been created between User A and User B, any further attempts by either of these users to create a new Distinct Conversation with these participants will get resolved to the existing Conversation.
Conversations are created as non-distinct Conversations by default.
Creating a distinct Conversation by set isDistinct option:
Conversations are stored on Stringee server and cached on local database as well. You can get conversations as follows:
To get local conversations, you call:
stringeeClient.getLocalConversations(userId, new CallbackListener<List<Conversation>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(final List<Conversation> conversations) {
}
});
In which:
To get latest conversations from Stringee server, you call:
stringeeClient.getLastConversations(count, new CallbackListener<List<Conversation>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(final List<Conversation> conversations) {
}
});
In which:
To get a list of conversations which have updated time greater than a datetime from server, you call:
stringeeClient.getConversationsAfter(datetime, count, new CallbackListener<List<Conversation>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(final List<Conversation> conversations) {
}
});
In which:
To get a list of conversations which have updated time smaller than datetime from server, you call:
stringeeClient.getConversationsBefore(datetime, count, new CallbackListener<List<Conversation>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(final List<Conversation> conversations) {
}
});
In which:
Participants in a Conversation. Any participant can add users into a Conversation or leave a Conversation. Only the participant who created the Conversation can remove other participants from the Conversation:
// Add
conversation.addParticipants(stringeeClient, participants, new CallbackListener<List<User>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(List<User> users) {
// return added users here
}
@Override
public void onError(StringeeError error) {
}
});
// Remove
conversation.removeParticipants(stringeeClient, participants, new CallbackListener<List<User>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(List<User> users) {
// return removed users here
}
@Override
public void onError(StringeeError error) {
}
});
To leave a Conversation, you remove yourself from the Conversation.
In case the Conversation is Chat 1-1, you can delete the Conversation by calling:
conversation.delete(stringeeClient, new StatusListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
}
@Override
public void onError(StringeeError error) {
}
});
In case the Conversation is Group Chat, you must leave the Conversation before deleting.
