All Real-time Listeners

CometChat provides 4 listeners viz.

1. UserListener
2. GroupListener
3. MessageListener
4. CallListener

User Listener

The UserListener class provides you with live events related to users. Below are the callback methods provided by the UserListener class.

Method	Information
onUserOnline(User user)	This method is triggered when a user comes online and is available to chat. The details of the user can be obtained from the user object received as the method parameter.
onUserOffline(User user)	This method is triggered when a user goes offline. The details of the user can be obtained from the User object received as the parameter.

To add the UserListener, you need to use the addUserListener() method provided by the CometChat class.

Java

CometChat.addUserListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID, new CometChat.UserListener() {
  @Override
    public void onUserOnline(User user) {
      
  }

  @Override
    public void onUserOffline(User user) {
    
  }
});

Kotlin

CometChat.addUserListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID, object : CometChat.UserListener() {
    override fun onUserOnline(user: User) {
    }

    override fun onUserOffline(user: User) {
    }
})

where UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID is the unique identifier for the listener. Please make sure that no two listeners are added with the same listener id as this could lead to unexpected behavior resulting in loss of events.

Once the activity/fragment where the UserListener is declared is not in use, you need to remove the listener using the removeUserListener() method which takes the id of the listener to be removed as the parameter. We suggest you call this method in the onPause() method of the activity/fragment.

Java

CometChat.removeUserListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID);

Kotlin

CometChat.removeUserListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID)

Group Listener

The GroupListener class provides you with all the real-time events related to groups. Below are the callback methods provided by the GroupListener class.

Method	Information
onGroupMemberJoined(Action action, User joinedUser, Group joinedGroup)	This method is triggered when a user joins any group. All the members present in the group will receive this event.
onGroupMemberLeft(Action action, User leftUser, Group leftGroup)	This method is triggered when a user who was a member of any group leaves the group. All the members of the group receive this event.
onGroupMemberKicked(Action action, User kickedUser, User kickedBy, Group kickedFrom)	This method is triggered when a user is kicked from a group. All the members including the user receive this event
onGroupMemberBanned(Action action, User bannedUser, User bannedBy, Group bannedFrom)	This method is triggered when a user is banned from a group. All the members including the user receive this event
onGroupMemberUnbanned(Action action, User unbannedUser, User unbannedBy, Group unbannedFrom)	This method is triggered when a user is banned from a group. All the members of the group receive this event.
onGroupMemberScopeChanged(Action action, User updatedBy, User updatedUser, String scopeChangedTo, String scopeChangedFrom, Group group)	This method is triggered when the scope of any Group Member has been changed. All the members that are a part of that group receive this event
onMemberAddedToGroup(Action action, User addedby, User userAdded, Group addedTo)	This method is triggered when a user is added to any group. All the members including the user himself receive this event.

To add the GroupListener, you need to use the addGroupListener() method provided by the CometChat class.

Java

CometChat.addGroupListener("abc", new CometChat.GroupListener() {
  @Override
  public void onGroupMemberJoined(Action action, User joinedUser, Group joinedGroup) {
   
  }

  @Override
  public void onGroupMemberLeft(Action action, User leftUser, Group leftGroup) {

  }

   @Override 
   public void onGroupMemberKicked(Action action, User kickedUser, User kickedBy, Group kickedFrom) {

   }

  @Override 
  public void onGroupMemberBanned(Action action, User bannedUser, User bannedBy, Group bannedFrom) {

  }

  @Override 
  public void onGroupMemberUnbanned(Action action, User unbannedUser, User unbannedBy, Group unbannedFrom) {

  }

  @Override 
  public void onGroupMemberScopeChanged(Action action, User updatedBy, User updatedUser, String scopeChangedTo, String scopeChangedFrom, Group group) {

  }

  @Override 
  public void onMemberAddedToGroup(Action action, User addedby, User userAdded, Group addedTo) {

  }
});

Kotlin

CometChat.addGroupListener("abc", object : CometChat.GroupListener() {
    override fun onGroupMemberJoined(action: Action, joinedUser: User, joinedGroup: Group) {
    }

    override fun onGroupMemberLeft(action: Action, leftUser: User, leftGroup: Group) {
    }

    override fun onGroupMemberKicked(action: Action, kickedUser: User, kickedBy: User, kickedFrom: Group) {
    }

    override fun onGroupMemberBanned(action: Action, bannedUser: User, bannedBy: User, bannedFrom: Group) {
    }

    override fun onGroupMemberUnbanned(action: Action, unbannedUser: User, unbannedBy: User, unbannedFrom: Group) {
    }

    override fun onGroupMemberScopeChanged(action: Action, updatedBy: User, updatedUser: User, scopeChangedTo: String, scopeChangedFrom: String, group: Group) {
    }

    override fun onMemberAddedToGroup(action: Action, addedby: User, userAdded: User, addedTo: Group) {
    }
})

where UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID is the unique identifier for the listener. Please make sure that no two listeners are added with the same listener id as this could lead to unexpected behavior resulting in loss of events.

Once the activity/fragment where the GroupListener is declared is not in use, you need to remove the listener using the removeGroupListener() method which takes the id of the listener to be removed as the parameter. We suggest you call this method in the onPause() method of the activity/fragment.

Java

CometChat.removeGroupListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID);

Kotlin

CometChat.removeGroupListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID)

Message Listener

The MessageListener class provides you with live events related to messages. Below are the callback methods provided by the MessageListener class.

Method	Information
onTextMessageReceived(TextMessage message)	This event is triggered when a Text Message is received.
onMediaMessageReceived(MediaMessage message)	This event is triggered when a Media Message is received.
onCustomMessageReceived(CustomMessage message)	This event is triggered when a Custom Message is received.
onTypingStarted(TypingIndicator typingIndicator)	This event is triggered when a user starts typing in a user/group conversation
onTypingEnded(TypingIndicator typingIndicator)	This event is triggered when a user stops typing in a user/group conversation.
onMessagesDelivered(MessageReceipt messageReceipt)	This event is triggered when a set of messages are marked as delivered for any particular conversation.
onMessagesRead(MessageReceipt messageReceipt)	This event is triggered when a set of messages are marked as read for any particular conversation.
onMessageEdited(BaseMessage message)	This method is triggered when a particular message has been edited in a user/group conversation.
onMessageDeleted(BaseMessage message)	This event is triggered when a particular message is deleted in a user/group conversation.

To add the MessageListener, you need to use the addMessageListener() method provided by the CometChat class.

Java

CometChat.addMessageListener(UNIQUE_LISTENER_ID, new CometChat.MessageListener() {
  @Override
  public void onTextMessageReceived(TextMessage message) {
                
  }

  @Override
  public void onMediaMessageReceived(MediaMessage message) {

Call Listener

The CallListener class provides you with live events related to calls. Below are the callback methods provided by the CallListener class.

onIncomingCallCancelled(Call call)	This event is triggered when an incoming call is canceled by the initiator of the call. The details of the call can be obtained from the Call object received as the method parameter

To add the CallListener, you need to use the addCallListener() method provided by the CometChat class.
