Group Members

Overview​

CometChatGroupMembers is a versatile Component designed to showcase all users who are either added to or invited to a group, thereby enabling them to participate in group discussions, access shared content, and engage in collaborative activities. Group members have the capability to communicate in real-time through messaging, voice and video calls, and various other interactions. Additionally, they can interact with each other, share files, and join calls based on the permissions established by the group administrator or owner.

The CometChatGroupMembers 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. experience, facilitating seamless navigation and interaction within the component.

Usage​

Integration​

CometChatGroupMembers, 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 group 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 GroupMembers component into your application.

<com.cometchat.chatuikit.groupmembers.CometChatGroupMembers
    android:id="@+id/group_member"
    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.

CometChatGroupMembers cometchatGroupMembers = binding.groupMember;

Group group = new Group();
group.setGuid("GROUP_ID");
group.setName("GROUP_NAME");

cometchatGroupMembers.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 CometChatGroupMembers, empowering them with greater control and customization options.

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

cometchatGroupMembers.setItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener<GroupMember>() {
    @Override
    public void OnItemClick(GroupMember groupMember, int i) {
        
    }
});
2. SetOnItemLongClick​

This method becomes invaluable when users seek to override long-click functionality within CometChatGroupMembers, offering them enhanced control and flexibility in their interactions.

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

cometchatGroupMembers.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
    @Override
    public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
        return false;
    }
});
3. SetOnError​

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

cometchatGroupMembers.setOnError(new OnError() {
    @Override
    public void onError(Context context, CometChatException e) {
        
    }
});
4. AddOnBackPressListener​

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

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

    }
});
5. 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
cometchatGroupMembers.setSelectionMode(UIKitConstants.SelectionMode.MULTIPLE);
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnSelection(new CometChatGroupMembers.OnSelection() {
    @Override
    public void onSelection(List<GroupMember> list) {
        // Handle selected group members here
    }
});

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 ChatSDK.

1. GroupsRequestBuilder​

The GroupsRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the group list based on available parameters in GroupsRequestBuilder. This feature allows you to create more specific and targeted queries when fetching groups. The following are the parameters available in GroupsRequestBuilder

PropertyDescriptionCode
LimitSets the number of group members that can be fetched in a single request, suitable for pagination..setLimit(int)
Search KeywordUsed for fetching group members matching the passed string..setSearchKeyword(String)
ScopesUsed for fetching group members having matching scopes which may be of participant, moderator, admin, and owner..setScopes(List<String>)

Example

In the example below, we are applying a filter to the Group List based on limit and scope.

GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder groupMembersRequestBuilder= new GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(GUID).setLimit(limit);

cometchatGroupMembers.setGroupMembersRequestBuilder(groupMembersRequestBuilder);
2. SearchRequestBuilder​

The SearchRequestBuilder uses GroupsRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the search list based on available parameters in GroupsRequestBuilder.

This feature allows you to keep uniformity between the displayed Groups List and searched Group List.

Example

GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder groupMembersRequestBuilder= new GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(GUID).setLimit(LIMIT).setSearchKeyword(SEARCH_KEYWORD);

cometchatGroupMembers.setSearchRequestBuilder(groupMembersRequestBuilder);

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
ccGroupMemberBannedTriggers when the group member banned from the group successfully
ccGroupMemberKickedTriggers when the group member kicked from the group successfully
ccGroupMemberScopeChangedTriggers when the group member scope is changed in the group
CometChatGroupEvents.addGroupListener("LISTENER_ID", new CometChatGroupEvents() {
    @Override
    public void ccGroupMemberKicked(Action actionMessage, User kickedUser, User kickedBy, Group kickedFrom) {
        super.ccGroupMemberKicked(actionMessage, kickedUser, kickedBy, kickedFrom);
    }

    @Override
    public void ccGroupMemberBanned(Action actionMessage, User bannedUser, User bannedBy, Group bannedFrom) {
        super.ccGroupMemberBanned(actionMessage, bannedUser, bannedBy, bannedFrom);
    }

    @Override
    public void ccGroupMemberScopeChanged(Action actionMessage, User updatedUser, String scopeChangedTo, String scopeChangedFrom, Group group) {
        super.ccGroupMemberScopeChanged(actionMessage, updatedUser, scopeChangedTo, scopeChangedFrom, group);
    }

});

Remove the added listener

CometChatGroupEvents.removeListener("LISTENER_ID");

Advanced​

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 own views, layouts, and UI elements and then incorporate those into the component.

The Group Memebers component does not provide additional functionalities beyond this level of customization.

SetOptions​

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

cometchatGroupMembers.setOptions((context, groupMember, group) -> {
    // Handle banned member options here (return null for default behavior)
    return null;
});
Example​
YourActivity.java
cometchatGroupMembers.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;
});

SetListItemView​

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

cometchatGroupMembers.setListItemView(new GroupMembersViewHolderListeners() {
    @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

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 GroupsViewHolderListener. 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:

        avatarView.setRadius(100);
        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 conversation item to meet your requirements

cometchatGroupMembers.setSubtitleView(new GroupMembersViewHolderListeners() {
    @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) {

    }
});

});

SetMenu​

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

cometchatGroupMembers.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().

        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();
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setMenu(view);

SetLoadingStateView​

You can set a custom loader view using setLoadingStateView to match the loading view of your app.

cometchatGroupMembers.setLoadingStateView();
