Update a Group

Update Group

In other words, as a group owner, how can I update the group details?

You can update the existing details of the group using the updateGroup() method.

Java

private String GUID = "GUID";
private String groupName = "Hello Group!";
private String groupType = CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC;
private String password = "";
Group group = new Group(GUID, groupName, groupType, password);

CometChat.updateGroup(group,  new CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>() {
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Group group) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Groups details updated successfully: " + group.toString());
  }
  @Override
  public void onError(CometChatException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Group details update failed with exception: " + e.getMessage());
  }
});

Kotlin

val GUID:String="GUID"
val groupName:String="Hello Group!"
val groupType:String = CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC
val password:String=""

val group=Group(GUID,groupName,groupType,password)

CometChat.updateGroup(group,object :CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>(){
  override fun onSuccess(p0: Group?) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Groups details updated successfully: " + p0?.toString())
  }
  override fun onError(p0: CometChatException?) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Group details update failed with exception: " + p0?.message)
  }
})

This method takes an instance of the Group class as a parameter which should contain the data that you wish to update.
