Adding ChatSDK to an existing project about chat-sdk-android HOT 18 CLOSED

Hello,

First I would like to ask that next time you create a new issue for questions, but I will answer here quickly.

If you want to create the thread between two users, you have two options.

1. Create the thread, but optionally open it later. This is done using the NetworkAdapter and the ChatSDKUiHelper. The methods you should call to do this are createThreadWithUsers(String name, BUser... users) from the network adapter. Then calling startChatActivityForID(long threadId)

2. Create the thread and open the chat at the same time. This requires that the activity used to create and open the chat extends the ChatSDKBaseActivity. If your activity inherits this class, it may then call createAndOpenThreadWithUsers(String name, BUser...users). This will result in opening the chat view that was configured when the ChatSDKUiHelper was initialized.

Hope this helps,

Hello,

Are you looking to launch the activities we have developed as part of the sdk? if so, we use a HelperUtility. The class that this functionality is contained in may be found at
chat-sdk-android/sdk/src/main/java/com/braunster/chatsdk/Utils/helper/ChatSDKUiHelper.java

Let me know if this helps,

Hello Rohit,

I don't recommend this for the creation of a new chat, but for opening an existing chat. Use
startChatActivityForID(long id) from the above mentioned ChatSDKUiHelper.java. The id you are passing in will be from the BThread object. You can retrieve it from an instance of an existing BThread object with thread.getId().

Hello Rohit,

I am wondering if you were able to launch the activity you are looking for with the suggestion.
Also, if you are trying to launch the Chat SDK's login screen, or conversation/thread activity from your own UI.

Hi Rohit,

The API is indeed available for you to use, and we are working on our documentation alongside some refactoring. The chat SDK project is indeed open source, and that makes it possible for you to use our API to build a customized app, but hands on support for your project may require a quote.

However, I can help you with tips and try to point you to the right resources if you are doing it yourself.
For doing the login from your own activities, take a look at how we handle the click of our login and register buttons in the ChatSdkAbstractLogin class. You could even extend this abstract logic class to the activity that you are adding your register and login buttons.

As for the user list, you should be able to retrieve the user's list of contacts with

                    if (DEBUG) Timber.d("Mode - Contacts");
                    sourceUsers = getNetworkAdapter().currentUserModel().getContacts();

Where getNetworkAdapter() is available in any activities and fragments that extend our base activities. If you are not extending our base activities, you will have to find a reference to the network adapter from when you initialized the chatSDK.

You can chat between iOS and Android. I've been testing it and it works fine. Maybe there is some issue in your configuration. When you say that each time you send a message, a new thread is created, can you explain further? If you have two users, A and B, and A sends B a message, we would expect a new thread to be created. Are you saying that if A then sends another message, yet another thread is created?

To upload an image I'd recommend looking at the ChatSDKProfileHelper class and the saveProfilePicToServer method.

With regards to the issue with threads, can you provide me with access to the Firebase account so I can inspect the data? You should invite [email protected].

Hi @rohitvairagkar,

We have recently updated our documentation on how to add the Chat SDK to an existing project here. I would recommend watching the video and going through all the steps.

We have also included how to load the login activity. Hopefully this solves your problem.

We have also recently released the Android on the same Firebase path as the iOS one. This means you should be able to clone them both and test the messaging functionality. When we have done this the messaging works fine. It might be that there is a problem with your configuration, if you can confirm whether the base projects work together this is something we can look into further.

Finally, if you could raise new tickets for each issue this will allow us to keep each individual ticket for one specific problem. Hopefully you have solved the user profile problem but if not then raise a new ticket and we will help you solve it.
