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:
Components | Description |
---|---|
CometChatListBase | CometChatListBase serves as a container component equipped with a title (navigationBar), search functionality (search-bar), background settings, and a container for embedding a list view. |
CometChatListItem | This 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.
- XML
<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.
- Java
- Kotlin
CometChatGroupMembers cometchatGroupMembers = binding.groupMember;
Group group = new Group();
group.setGuid("GROUP_ID");
group.setName("GROUP_NAME");
cometchatGroupMembers.setGroup(group);
val cometchatGroupMembers: CometChatGroupMembers = binding.groupMember
val group: Group = 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.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setItemClickListener(new OnItemClickListener<GroupMember>() {
@Override
public void OnItemClick(GroupMember groupMember, int i) {
}
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setItemClickListener(object : OnItemClickListener<GroupMember?>() {
override fun OnItemClick(groupMember: GroupMember?, i: Int) {
}
})
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.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnLongClickListener(new View.OnLongClickListener() {
@Override
public boolean onLongClick(View view) {
return false;
}
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnLongClickListener(OnLongClickListener {
false
})
3. SetOnError
You can customize this behavior by using the provided code snippet to override the On Error
and improve error handling.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnError(new OnError() {
@Override
public void onError(Context context, CometChatException e) {
}
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnError(OnError { context, e ->
})
4. AddOnBackPressListener
You can customize this behavior by using the provided code snippet to override the addOnBackPressListener
and improve error handling.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.addOnBackPressListener(new CometChatListBase.OnBackPress() {
@Override
public void onBack() {
}
});
cometchatGroupMembers.addOnBackPressListener(CometChatListBase.OnBackPress {
})
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.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setSelectionMode(UIKitConstants.SelectionMode.MULTIPLE);
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnSelection(new CometChatGroupMembers.OnSelection() {
@Override
public void onSelection(List<GroupMember> list) {
// Handle selected group members here
}
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setSelectionMode(UIKitConstants.SelectionMode.MULTIPLE)
cometchatGroupMembers.setOnSelection { 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 Chat SDK.
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
Property | Description | Code |
---|---|---|
Limit | Sets the number of group members that can be fetched in a single request, suitable for pagination. | .setLimit(int) |
Search Keyword | Used for fetching group members matching the passed string. | .setSearchKeyword(String) |
Scopes | Used 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.
- Java
- Kotlin
GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder groupMembersRequestBuilder= new GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(GUID).setLimit(limit);
cometchatGroupMembers.setGroupMembersRequestBuilder(groupMembersRequestBuilder);
val groupMembersRequestBuilder = 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
- Java
- Kotlin
GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder groupMembersRequestBuilder= new GroupMembersRequest.GroupMembersRequestBuilder(GUID).setLimit(LIMIT).setSearchKeyword(SEARCH_KEYWORD);
cometchatGroupMembers.setSearchRequestBuilder(groupMembersRequestBuilder);
val groupMembersRequestBuilder = 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.
Event | Description |
---|---|
ccGroupMemberBanned | Triggers when the group member banned from the group successfully |
ccGroupMemberKicked | Triggers when the group member kicked from the group successfully |
ccGroupMemberScopeChanged | Triggers when the group member scope is changed in the group |
- Java
- Kotlin
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);
}
});
CometChatGroupEvents.addGroupListener("LISTENER_ID", object : CometChatGroupEvents() {
override fun ccGroupMemberKicked(
actionMessage: Action,
kickedUser: User,
kickedBy: User,
kickedFrom: Group
) {
super.ccGroupMemberKicked(actionMessage, kickedUser, kickedBy, kickedFrom)
}
override fun ccGroupMemberBanned(
actionMessage: Action,
bannedUser: User,
bannedBy: User,
bannedFrom: Group
) {
super.ccGroupMemberBanned(actionMessage, bannedUser, bannedBy, bannedFrom)
}
override fun ccGroupMemberScopeChanged(
actionMessage: Action,
updatedUser: User,
scopeChangedTo: String,
scopeChangedFrom: String,

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.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setOptions((context, groupMember, group) -> {
// Handle banned member options here (return null for default behavior)
return null;
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setOptions { context, groupMember, group ->
// Handle banned member options here (return null for default behavior)
return null
}
Example
- Java
- Kotlin
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;
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setOptions { context, groupMember, group ->
val optionList = ArrayList<CometChatOption>()
val option1 = CometChatOption().apply {
id = "option_send_photo"
icon = context.resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_camera) // Access drawable using resources
backgroundColor = Color.CYAN
setOnClick {
// Your action on click of option1
}
}
optionList.add(option1)
val option2 = CometChatOption().apply {
id = "option_audio_call"
icon = context.resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_call)
backgroundColor = Color.BLUE
setOnClick {
// Your action on click of option2
}
}
optionList.add(option2)
val option3 = CometChatOption().apply {
id = "option_video_call"
icon = context.resources.getDrawable(R.drawable.ic_video)
backgroundColor = Color.RED
setOnClick {
// Your action on click of option3
}
}
optionList.add(option3)
return optionList
}
SetListItemView
With this function, you can assign a custom ListItem to the Conversations Component.
- Java
- Kotlin
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) {
}
});
cometchatGroupMembers.setListItemView(object : GroupMembersViewHolderListeners() {
override fun createView(context: Context, cometChatListItem: CometChatListItem): View? {
return null
}
override fun bindView(
context: Context,
view: View,
groupMember: GroupMember,
group: Group,
viewHolder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder,
list: List<GroupMember>,
i: Int
) {
}
})
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:

SetMenu
You can set the Custom Menu view to add more options to the Groups component.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setMenu(View v);
cometchatGroupMembers.setMenu(v)
Example
You need to create a view_menu.xml
as a custom view file. Which we will inflate and pass to .setMenu()
.
<?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.
- Java
- Kotlin
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);
val view: View = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.view_menu, null)
val imgRefresh = view.findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.img_refresh)
imgRefresh.setOnClickListener { v: View? ->
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.
- Java

to loading_view_layout.xml
. You can choose any view you prefer. This view should be inflated and passed to the setLoadingStateView()
method.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">
<androidx.core.widget.ContentLoadingProgressBar

cometchatGroupMembers.setLoadingStateView(R.layout.loading_view_layout);
cometchatGroupMembers.setLoadingStateView(R.layout.loading_view_layout)
SetEmptyStateView
You can set a custom EmptyStateView
using setEmptyStateView
to match the empty view of your app.
- Java
- Kotlin
cometchatGroupMembers.setEmptyStateView();
cometchatGroupMembers.setEmptyStateView()
Examples
We have added an error view to empty_view_layout.xml
. You can choose any view you prefer. This view should be inflated and passed to the setEmptyStateView()
method.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
