quickblox Getting started with quickblox
Remarks
This section provides an overview of what quickblox is, and why a developer might want to use it.
It should also mention any large subjects within quickblox, and link out to the related topics. Since the Documentation for quickblox is new, you may need to create initial versions of those related topics.
Create New Chat Dialog (private)
QBChatDialog dialog = DialogUtils.buildPrivateDialog("USER_ID of other user");
QBRestChatService.createChatDialog(dialog).performAsync(new QBEntityCallback<QBChatDialog>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(QBChatDialog result, Bundle params) {
//if dialog created successfully
//result param return all details about that dialog
}
@Override
public void onError(QBResponseException responseException) {
//error creating dialog
}
});
Import quickblox Chat Android SDK
Add repository
repositories {
maven {
url "https://github.com/QuickBlox/quickblox-android-sdk-releases/raw/master/"
}
}
Add in Project Gradle for Chat Functionality
dependencies {
compile("com.quickblox:quickblox-android-sdk-chat:2.6.1")
}
Add in Project Gradle for Video Functionality
dependencies {
compile "com.quickblox:quickblox-android-sdk-videochat-webrtc:2.6.1"
}
Installation or Setup
Detailed instructions on getting quickblox set up or installed.
Go to https://admin.quickblox.com and click on “Register” at the top or just follow the link: https://admin.quickblox.com/register.
Login to Chat
Create session with User & Sign In to QuickBlox Chat
// Initialise Chat service
QBChatService chatService = QBChatService.getInstance();
final QBUser user = new QBUser("garrysantos", "garrysantospass");
QBAuth.createSession(user, new QBEntityCallback<QBSession>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(QBSession session, Bundle params) {
// success, login to chat
user.setId(session.getUserId());
chatService.login(qbUser, new QBEntityCallback() {
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
}
@Override
public void onError(QBResponseException errors) {
}
});
}
@Override
public void onError(QBResponseException errors) {
}
});
To handle different connection states use ConnectionListener:
ConnectionListener connectionListener = new ConnectionListener() {
@Override
public void connected(XMPPConnection connection) {
}
@Override
public void authenticated(XMPPConnection connection) {
}
@Override
public void connectionClosed() {
}
@Override
public void connectionClosedOnError(Exception e) {
// connection closed on error. It will be established soon
}
@Override
public void reconnectingIn(int seconds) {
}
@Override
public void reconnectionSuccessful() {
}
@Override
public void reconnectionFailed(Exception e) {
}
};
QBChatService.getInstance().addConnectionListener(connectionListener);
Prepare Chat service
To initialise chat service use:
QBChatService.setDebugEnabled(true); // enable chat logging
QBChatService.setDefaultPacketReplyTimeout(10000);//set reply timeout in milliseconds for connection's packet. Can be used for events like login, join to dialog to increase waiting response time from server if network is slow.
To configure chat socket use QBChatService.ConfigurationBuilder;
QBChatService.ConfigurationBuilder chatServiceConfigurationBuilder = new QBChatService.ConfigurationBuilder();
chatServiceConfigurationBuilder.setSocketTimeout(60); //Sets chat socket's read timeout in seconds
chatServiceConfigurationBuilder.setKeepAlive(true); //Sets connection socket's keepAlive option.
chatServiceConfigurationBuilder.setUseTls(true); //Sets the TLS security mode used when making the connection. By default TLS is disabled.
QBChatService.setConfigurationBuilder(chatServiceConfigurationBuilder);
Request List Of Dialog Of Logged In User
Code to receive Chat dialogs from Quickblox server of Logged in user (Example with listview)
private void receiveChatList() {
QBRequestGetBuilder requestBuilder = new QBRequestGetBuilder();
requestBuilder.setLimit(100);
QBRestChatService.getChatDialogs(null, requestBuilder).performAsync(
new QBEntityCallback<ArrayList<QBChatDialog>>() {
@Override
public void onSuccess(final ArrayList<QBChatDialog> result, Bundle params) {
int totalEntries = params.getInt("total_entries");
Log.wtf("chat",""+result);
TrumeMsgAdapter adapter=new TrumeMsgAdapter(this,result);
chatlistView.setAdapter(adapter);
chatlistView.setOnItemClickListener(new AdapterView.OnItemClickListener() {
@Override
public void onItemClick(AdapterView<?> parent, View view, int position, long id) {
startActivity(new Intent(this,ChatingActivity.class).putExtra("dialog",result.get(position)));
}
});
}
@Override
public void onError(QBResponseException responseException) {
}
});
}
Adapter Code:-
public class TrumeMsgAdapter extends BaseAdapter {
private ArrayList<QBChatDialog> chatlist;
private Context context;
public TrumeMsgAdapter(Context c,ArrayList<QBChatDialog> chatlist){
this.chatlist=chatlist;
this.context=c;
}
@Override
public int getCount() {
return chatlist.size();
}
@Override
public Object getItem(int position) {
return null;
}
@Override
public long getItemId(int position) {
return 0;
}
@Override
public View getView(int position, View convertView, ViewGroup parent) {
View List;
LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) context
.getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);
if (convertView == null) {
List = inflater.inflate(R.layout.trume_msg_adapter, null);
TextView username=(TextView) List.findViewById(R.id.UserName);
TextView lastmessage=(TextView)List.findViewById(R.id.lastmessage);
username.setText(chatlist.get(position).getName());
lastmessage.setText(chatlist.get(position).getLastMessage());
} else {
List = convertView;
TextView username=(TextView) List.findViewById(R.id.UserName);
TextView lastmessage=(TextView)List.findViewById(R.id.lastmessage);
username.setText(chatlist.get(position).getName());
lastmessage.setText(chatlist.get(position).getLastMessage());
}
return List;
}
}
