Usage

Integration

CometChatIncomingCall being a custom component, offers versatility in its integration. It can be seamlessly launched via button clicks or any user-triggered action, enhancing the overall user experience and facilitating smoother interactions within the application.

Since CometChatIncomingCall can be launched by adding the following code snippet into the XML layout file.

XML

<com.cometchat.chatuikit.calls.incomingcall.CometChatIncomingCall
    android:id="@+id/incoming_call"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

If you're defining the CometChatIncomingCall within the XML code or in your activity or fragment then you'll need to extract them and set them on the User object using the appropriate method.

Java

CometChatIncomingCall cometchatIncomingCall = binding.incomingCall; // 'binding' is a view binding instance. Initialize it with `binding = YourXmlFileNameBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());` to use views like `binding.incomingCall` after enabling view binding.

User user = new User();
user.setUid(""); //Required
user.setName(""); //Required
user.setAvatar(""); //Required

cometchatIncomingCall.setUser(user); //Required - set the user object

Kotlin

val cometchatIncomingCall: CometChatIncomingCall = binding.incomingCall  // 'binding' is a view binding instance. Initialize it with `binding = YourXmlFileNameBinding.inflate(layoutInflater)` to use views like `binding.incomingCall` after enabling view binding.

val user = User()
user.uid = "" //Required
user.name = "" //Required
user.avatar = "" //Required

cometchatIncomingCall.setUser(user) //Required - set the user object

Activity and Fragment

You can integrate CometChatIncomingCall into your Activity and Fragment by adding the following code snippets into the respective classes.

public View onCreateView(@NonNull LayoutInflater inflater, ViewGroup container, Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    cometchatIncomingCall = new CometChatIncomingCall(requireContext());

    User user = new User();
    user.setUid(""); //Required
    user.setName(""); //Required
    user.setAvatar(""); //Required

    cometchatIncomingCall.setUser(user); //Required - set the user object

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. SetOnAcceptCallClick

The setOnAcceptCallClick action is typically triggered when the user clicks on the accept button, initiating a predefined action. However, by implementing the following code snippet, you can easily customize or override this default behavior to suit your specific requirements.

Java

cometchatIncomingCall.setOnAcceptCallClick(new OnClick() {
    @Override
    public void onClick() {
        //TODO
    }
});

Kotlin

cometchatIncomingCall.setOnAcceptCallClick(OnClick {
    //TODO
})

2. SetOnDeclineCallClick

The SetOnDeclineCallClick action is typically triggered when the user clicks on the reject button, initiating a predefined action. However, by implementing the following code snippet, you can easily customize or override this default behavior to suit your specific requirements.

Java

cometchatIncomingCall.setOnDeclineCallClick(new OnClick() {
    @Override
    public void onClick() {
        //TODO
    }
});

Kotlin

cometchatIncomingCall.setOnDeclineCallClick(OnClick {
    //TODO
})

3. SetOnError

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

Java

cometchatIncomingCall.setOnError(new OnError() {
    @Override
    public void onError(Context context, CometChatException e) {
        //TODO
    }
});

Kotlin
