Banned Members

Overview

CometChatBannedMembers is a crucial Component that showcases users who have been restricted from participating in specific groups or conversations. Once banned, users lose access to content and discussions within the affected group. Administrators or owners wield the authority to ban members from groups they oversee, enabling them to monitor user activity and behavior closely. With CometChatBannedMembers, administrators can take swift and appropriate actions to maintain group integrity and uphold community standards.

Image

The BannedMembers component is composed of the following BaseComponents:

ComponentsDescription
CometChatListBaseCometChatListBase serves as a container component equipped with a title (navigationBar), search functionality (search-bar), background settings, and a container for embedding a list view.
CometChatListItemThis component renders information extracted from a User object onto a tile, featuring a title, subtitle, leading view, and trailing view.

Usage

Integration

CometChatBannedMembers, as a Composite Component, offers flexible integration options, allowing it to be launched directly via button clicks or any user-triggered action. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates into tab view controllers. With banned members, users gain access to a wide range of parameters and methods for effortless customization of its user interface.

The following code snippet exemplifies how you can seamlessly integrate the BannedMembers component into your application.

<com.cometchat.chatuikit.bannedmembers.CometChatBannedMembers
android:id="@+id/banned_members"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

If you're defining the Group members within the XML code, you'll need to extract them and set them on the Group object using the appropriate method.

CometChatBannedMembers cometchatBannedMembers = binding.groupMember;
Group group = new Group();
group.setGuid("GROUP_ID");
group.setName("GROUP_NAME");
cometchatBannedMembers.setGroup(group);

Actions

Actions dictate how a component functions. They are divided into two types: Predefined and User-defined. You can override either type, allowing you to tailor the behavior of the component to fit your specific needs.

1. SetOnItemClick

This method proves valuable when users seek to override onItemClick functionality within CometChatBannedMembers, empowering them with greater control and customization options.

The setOnItemClick action doesn't have a predefined behavior. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

cometchatBannedMembers.setItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener<GroupMember>() {
@Override
public void OnItemClick(GroupMember groupMember, int i) {

}
});

2. SetOnError

You can customize this behavior by using the provided code snippet to override the On Error and improve error handling.

cometchatBannedMembers.setOnError(new OnError() {
@Override
public void onError(Context context, CometChatException e) {

}
});

3. OnSelection

The OnSelection event is triggered upon the completion of a selection in SelectionMode. It does not have a default behavior. However, you can override its behavior using the following code snippet.

YourActivity.java
cometchatBannedMembers.setSelectionMode(UIKitConstants.SelectionMode.MULTIPLE);
cometchatBannedMembers.setOnSelection(new CometChatBannedMembers.OnSelection() {
@Override
public void onSelection(List<GroupMember> list) {
// Handle banned member selection here
}
});

4. AddOnBackPressListener

You can customize this behavior by using the provided code snippet to override the addOnBackPressListener and improve error handling.

cometchatBannedMembers.addOnBackPressListener(new CometChatListBase.OnBackPress() {
@Override
public void onBack() {

}

});


Filters

Filters allow you to customize the data displayed in a list within a Component. You can filter the list based on your specific criteria, allowing for a more customized. Filters can be applied using RequestBuilders of Chat SDK.

1. BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder

The BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the Banned Members list based on available parameters in BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder. This feature allows you to create more specific and targeted queries when fetching banned members. The following are the parameters available in BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder

PropertyDescriptionCode
LimitSets the number of banned members that can be fetched in a single request, suitable for pagination.setLimit(Int)
Search KeywordUsed for fetching banned members matching the passed string.setSearchKeyword(String)

Example

In the example below, we are applying a filter to the banned members by setting the limit to 1.

BannedGroupMembersRequest.BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder bannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder = new BannedGroupMembersRequest.BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder("GUID")
.setLimit(1);

cometchatBannedMembers.setBannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder(bannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder);


2. SearchRequestBuilder

The SearchRequestBuilder uses BannedMembersRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the search list based on available parameters in BannedMembersRequestBuilder. This feature allows you to keep uniformity between the displayed Banned Members list and searched Banned Members.

BannedGroupMembersRequest.BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder bannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder = new BannedGroupMembersRequest.BannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder("GUID")
.setLimit(1)
.setSearchKeyword("SEARCH_KEYWORD");

cometchatBannedMembers.setSearchRequestBuilder(bannedGroupMembersRequestBuilder);


Events

Events are emitted by a Component. By using event you can extend existing functionality. Being global events, they can be applied in Multiple Locations and are capable of being Added or Removed.

Events emitted by the Join Group component is as follows.

EventDescription
ccGroupMemberBannedThis method is triggered when the logged-in user successfully bans a user from the group.
ccGroupMemberUnBannedThis method triggers when the logged-in user successfully unbans a previously banned user from the group.
CometChatGroupEvents.addGroupListener("LISTENER_ID", new CometChatGroupEvents() {
@Override
public void ccGroupMemberBanned(Action actionMessage, User bannedUser, User bannedBy, Group bannedFrom) {
super.ccGroupMemberBanned(actionMessage, bannedUser, bannedBy, bannedFrom);
}

@Override
public void ccGroupMemberUnBanned(Action actionMessage, User unbannedUser, User unBannedBy, Group unBannedFrom) {
super.ccGroupMemberUnBanned(actionMessage, unbannedUser, unBannedBy, unBannedFrom);
}

});

Remove the added listener

CometChatGroupEvents.removeListener("LISTENER_ID");Q

Advance

For advanced-level customization, you can set custom views to the component. This lets you tailor each aspect of the component to fit your exact needs and application aesthetics. You can create and define your views, layouts, and UI elements and then incorporate those into the component.

SetListItemView

With this function, you can assign a custom ListItem to the List View Component.

cometchatBannedMembers.setListItemView(new BannedMembersViewHolderListeners() {
@Override
public View createView(Context context, CometChatListItem cometChatListItem) {
return null;
}

@Override
public void bindView(Context context, View view, GroupMember groupMember, Group group, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, List<GroupMember> list, int i) {

}
});

Example

Image

You can indeed create a custom layout file named item_list.xml for more complex or unique list items.

Once this layout file is made, you would inflate it inside the createView() method of the BannedMembersViewHolderListeners. The inflation process prepares the layout for use in your application:

Following this, you would use the bindView() method to initialize and assign values to your individual views. This could include setting text on TextViews, images on ImageViews, and so on based on the properties of the Group object:

TextView nameView = view.findViewById(R.id.txt_item_name);
nameView.setText(groupMember.getName());
avatarView.setImage(groupMember.getAvatar(), groupMember.getName());
}
});

SetSubTitleView

You can customize the subtitle view for each user list item to meet your requirements

cometchatBannedMembers.setSubtitleView(new BannedMembersViewHolderListeners() {
@Override
public View createView(Context context, CometChatListItem cometChatListItem) {
return null;
}

@Override
public void bindView(Context context, View view, GroupMember groupMember, Group group, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, List<GroupMember> list, int i) {

}
});

Example

});
imgVideCall.setOnClickListener(v -> {
Toast.makeText(context, "Video Call Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
});
}
});

SetTailView

Used to generate a custom trailing view for the GroupList item. You can add a Tail view using the following method.

cometchatBannedMembers.setTailView(new BannedMembersViewHolderListeners() {
@Override
public View createView(Context context, CometChatListItem cometChatListItem) {
return null;
}

@Override
public void bindView(Context context, View view, GroupMember groupMember, Group group, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, List<GroupMember> list, int i) {

}
});

Example

Image

You can indeed create a custom layout file named tail_view_layout.xml for more complex or unique list items.

Once this layout file is made, you would inflate it inside the createView() method of the BannedMembersViewHolderListeners. The inflation process prepares the layout for use in your application:

Following this, you would use the bindView() method to initialize and assign values to your individual views. This could include setting text on TextViews, images on ImageViews, and so on based on the properties of the Group object:

@Override
public View createView(Context context, CometChatListItem cometChatListItem) {
View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.subtitle_layout, null);
return view;
}

@Override
public void bindView(Context context, View view, GroupMember groupMember, Group group, RecyclerView.ViewHolder viewHolder, List<GroupMember> list, int i) {
TextView txtSubtitle = view.findViewById(R.id.txt_subtitle);
ImageView imgConversation = view.findViewById(R.id.img_conversation);

});
imgVideCall.setOnClickListener(v -> {
Toast.makeText(context, "Video Call Clicked", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
});
}
});

SetMenu

You can set the Custom Menu view to add more options to the Groups component.

cometchatBannedMembers.setMenu(View v);

Example

Image

You need to create a view_menu.xml as a custom view file. Which we will inflate and pass to .setMenu().

view_menu.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:orientation="horizontal"
tools:context=".MainActivity">

<ImageView
android:id="@+id/img_refresh"
android:layout_width="30dp"
android:layout_height="30dp"
android:src="@drawable/ic_refresh_black" />

</LinearLayout>

You inflate the view and pass it to setMenu. You can get the child view reference and can handle click actions.

YourActivity.java
View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.view_menu, null);
ImageView imgRefresh = view.findViewById(R.id.img_refresh);
imgRefresh.setOnClickListener(v -> {
Toast.makeText(requireContext(), "Clicked on Refresh", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
});
cometchatBannedMembers.setMenu(view);

SetOptions

You can set a List of CometChatOption for a Banned Members to add your custom actions to the Members. These options will be visible when swiping any Banned Members item.

cometchatBannedMembers.setOptions((context, groupMember, group) -> {
// Handle banned member options here (return null for default behavior)
return null;
});
Example
YourActivity.java
cometchatBannedMembers.setOptions((context, groupMember, group) -> {
List<CometChatOption> optionList = new ArrayList<>();

CometChatOption option = new CometChatOption();
option.setId("option_send_photo");
option.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_camera);
option.setBackgroundColor(Color.CYAN);
option.setOnClick(() -> {
// Your Action onClick of option
});
optionList.add(option);

CometChatOption option2 = new CometChatOption();
option2.setId("option_audio_call");
option2.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_call);
option2.setBackgroundColor(Color.BLUE);
option2.setOnClick(() -> {
// Your Action onClick of option
});
optionList.add(option2);

CometChatOption option3 = new CometChatOption();
option3.setId("option_video_call");
option3.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_video);
option3.setBackgroundColor(Color.RED);
option3.setOnClick(() -> {
// Your Action onClick of option
});
optionList.add(option3);

return optionList;

});
