Message List

Overview

MessageList is a Composite Component that displays a list of messages and effectively manages real-time operations. It includes various types of messages such as Text Messages, Media Messages, Stickers, and more.

MessageList is primarily a list of the base component MessageBubble. The MessageBubble Component is utilized to create different types of chat bubbles depending on the message type.

Usage

Integration

The following code snippet illustrates how you can directly incorporate the MessageList component into your layout.xml file.

<com.cometchat.chatuikit.messagelist.CometChatMessageList
                android:id="@+id/message_list"
                android:layout_width="match_parent"
                android:layout_height="match_parent"
                android:layout_marginStart="16dp"
                android:layout_marginEnd="16dp"
                android:background="@android:color/transparent" />

warning

Simply adding the MessageList component to the layout will only display the loading indicator. To fetch messages for a specific entity, you need to supplement it with User or Group 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. onThreadRepliesClick

onThreadRepliesClick is triggered when you click on the threaded message bubble. The onThreadRepliesClick action doesn't have a predefined behavior. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

Java
Kotlin

cometchatMessageList.setOnThreadRepliesClick((context, baseMessage, cometchatMessageTemplate) -> {

        });

cometchatMessageList.onThreadRepliesClick =
            ThreadReplyClick { context, baseMessage, cometchatMessageTemplate -> }

2. onError

This action doesn't change the behavior of the component but rather listens for any errors that occur in the MessageList component.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnError(new OnError() {
    @Override
    public void onError(CometChatException e) {
        //Your Exception Handling code.
    }
});

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.setOnError(object : OnError {
    override fun onError(e: CometChatException) {
        // Your Exception Handling code.
    }
})

setOnLoad

Invoked when the list is successfully fetched and loaded, helping track component readiness.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnLoad(list -> {

});

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.setOnLoad(object : OnLoad<BaseMessage?> {
    override fun onLoad(list: MutableList<BaseMessage?>?) {

    }
})

setOnEmpty

Called when the list is empty, enabling custom handling such as showing a placeholder message.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnEmpty(() -> {
            
    });

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.setOnEmpty{
            
    }

onReactionLongClick

Function triggered when a user long presses on a reaction pill, allowing developers to override the default behavior.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnReactionLongClick((emoji, baseMessage) -> {

    });

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.onReactionLongClick = OnReactionLongClick { emoji, baseMessage -> }

onAddMoreReactionsClick

Function triggered when a user clicks on the 'Add More Reactions' button, allowing developers to handle this action.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnAddMoreReactionsClick(baseMessage -> {
            
    });

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.onAddMoreReactionsClick =
        OnAddMoreReactionsClick { 
                
    }

onReactionClick

Function triggered when a reaction is clicked, enabling developers to customize reaction interactions.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnReactionClick((emoji, baseMessage) -> {

    });

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.onReactionClick = OnReactionClick { emoji, baseMessage -> }

setOnReactionListItemClick

Function triggered when a reaction list item is clicked, allowing developers to override its behavior in CometChatReactionsList.

Java
Kotlin

YourActivity.java
cometchatMessageList.setOnReactionListItemClick((reaction, message) -> {

    });

YourActivity.kt
cometchatMessageList.onReactionListItemClick =
            OnReactionListItemClick { reaction, message -> } 

Filters

You can adjust the MessagesRequestBuilder in the MessageList Component to customize your message list. Numerous options are available to alter the builder to meet your specific needs. For additional details on MessagesRequestBuilder, please visit MessagesRequestBuilder.

In the example below, we are applying a filter to the messages based on a search substring and for a specific user. This means that only messages that contain the search term and are associated with the specified user will be displayed

Java
Kotlin

MessagesRequest.MessagesRequestBuilder messagesRequest = new MessagesRequest.MessagesRequestBuilder()
    .setSearchKeyword("your search keyword")
    .setUID("user uid");

messageList.setMessagesRequestBuilder(messagesRequest);

val messagesRequest = MessagesRequest.MessagesRequestBuilder()
    .setSearchKeyword("your search keyword")
    .setUID("user uid")
    .build()

messageList.messagesRequestBuilder = messagesRequest

info

The following parameters in messageRequestBuilder will always be altered inside the message list

UID
GUID
types
categories

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.

The MessageList Component does not emit any events of its own.

Customization

To fit your app's design requirements, you can customize the appearance of the conversation component. We provide exposed methods that allow you to modify the experience and behavior according to your specific needs.

Style

Using Style you can customize the look and feel of the component in your app, These parameters typically control elements such as the color, size, shape, and fonts used within the component.

    <style name="CustomOutgoingMessageBubbleStyle" parent="CometChatOutgoingMessageBubbleStyle">
        <item name="cometchatMessageBubbleBackgroundColor">#F76808</item>
    </style>

    <style name="CustomCometChatMessageListStyle" parent="CometChatMessageListStyle">
        <item name="cometchatMessageListBackgroundColor">#FEEDE1</item>
        <item name="cometchatMessageListOutgoingMessageBubbleStyle">@style/CustomOutgoingMessageBubbleStyle</item>
    </style>

Java
Kotlin

cometChatMessageList.setStyle(R.style.CustomCometChatMessageListStyle);

cometChatMessageList.setStyle(R.style.CustomCometChatMessageListStyle);

To know more such attributes, visit the attributes file.

Functionality

These are a set of small functional customizations that allow you to fine-tune the overall experience of the component. With these, you can change text, set custom icons, and toggle the visibility of UI elements.

Java
Kotlin

CometChatMessageList cometChatMessageList = findViewById(R.id.message_list);
cometChatMessageList.setUser(user);
cometChatMessageList.hideError(true);
cometChatMessageList.hideReceipt(true);

val cometChatMessageList = findViewById<CometChatMessageList>(R.id.message_list)
