Users

Users represent users within your application. They are used to:

• Identify a user to Stringee
• Provide users's information to your application to help render each user

Each user should contain:

• A user ID: Allows you to map a user to your own user management system.
• A display name: Helps you render a user name.
• An avatar url: Helps you render a user's avatar.

Create a participant by using its user ID, then optionally set display information:

User user = new User("USER_ID");
user.setName("Display name");
user.setAvatarUrl("https://example.com/avatar.png");

Get a user already stored in the local database by calling getUser(...) on the StringeeClient object:

User cachedUser = client.getUser("USER_ID");

To refresh one or more users from Stringee Server, call getUserInfo(...) on the StringeeClient object:

List<String> userIds = Collections.singletonList("USER_ID");
client.getUserInfo(userIds, new CallbackListener<List<User>>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<User> users) {
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(StringeeError error) {
    }
});
