Event Listener

The Android SDK provides interfaces to listen to various events on the client app. Through these interfaces, TapTalk.io notifies the client app of events that happen on your app. You will need to register the listener objects to receive event callbacks from TapTalk.io.

Event Listener

Description

Listens to general event changes in the application

Listens to UI-related events in Room List View when UI implementation type is used

Listens to UI-related events in Chat Room View when UI implementation type is used

Listens to UI-related events in Chat Profile View when UI implementation type is used

Listens to UI-related events in My Account View when UI implementation type is used

Listens to custom keyboard-related events when UI implementation type is used

Listens to events when a new/updated message is received by the application

Listens to changes to chat room's state in the room list

Listens to room status events such as typing events and online status

Listens to contact related events such as block or unblock contact

TapListener

General events such as notifications will be notified through TapListener. A TapListener instance is required when initializing TapTalk.

We strongly suggest to override onTapTalkRefreshTokenExpired to handle authentication when the user's session has expired.

TapListener tapListener = new TapListener() {
    @Override
    public void onInitializationCompleted(String instanceKey) {
        // Initialization process has finished
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onTapTalkRefreshTokenExpired() {
        // Authentication is needed
    }

    @Override
    public void onTapTalkUnreadChatRoomBadgeCountUpdated(int unreadCount) {
        // Returns number of unread messages from the application
    }

    @Override
    public void onNotificationReceived(TAPMessageModel message) {
        // A new message from TapTalk.io is received
    }

    @Override
    public void onUserLogout() {
        // User has finished logging out from TapUI or TapTalk.logoutAndClearAllTapTalkData() process has completed
    }
  
    @Override
    public void onTaskRootChatRoomClosed(Activity activity) {
        // A chat room activity was closed by user when no other activity in the application is present
        // You may start another activity to keep the app open, otherwise the app will stay closed
    }
};

TapTalk.init(
  CONTEXT, 
  APP_KEY_ID, 
  APP_KEY_SECRET,            
  APP_ICON, 
  APP_NAME, 
  APP_BASE_URL,            
  IMPLEMENTATION_TYPE, 
  tapListener);

TapListener listens to changes in the following methods:

        // Calling super will open search chat page by default
        super.onSearchChatBarTapped(activity, mainRoomListFragment);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onCloseRoomListTapped(Activity activity) {
        // Calling super will close TapTalk's room list activity by default
        super.onCloseRoomListTapped(activity);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onTapTalkAccountButtonTapped(Activity activity) {
        // Calling super will open TapTalk user account page by default
        super.onTapTalkAccountButtonTapped(activity);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onNewChatButtonTapped(Activity activity) {

TapCustomKeyboardListener bridges the custom keyboard-related events between TapTalk.io and the client app when UI implementation type is used. TapTalk.io will request custom keyboard items from the client app through this listener when a chat room is opened by the user. TapCustomKeyboardListener can be implemented using the TapUI class.

TapUI.getInstance().addCustomKeyboardListener(new TapCustomKeyboardListener() {
    @Override
    public List<TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel> setCustomKeyboardItems(TAPRoomModel room, TAPUserModel activeUser, @Nullable TAPUserModel recipientUser) {

    @Override
    public void onCustomKeyboardItemTapped(Activity activity, TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel customKeyboardItem, TAPRoomModel room, TAPUserModel activeUser, @Nullable TAPUserModel recipientUser) {
        // Do an action when user taps a custom keyboard item
    }
});

To use custom keyboard in the chat room, return a list of TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel on the setCustomKeyboardItems() method in this listener. See the example below:JavaKotlin

TapCustomKeyboardManager.getInstance().addCustomKeyboardListener(new TapCustomKeyboardListener() {
    @Override
    public List<TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel> setCustomKeyboardItems(TAPRoomModel room, TAPUserModel activeUser, @Nullable TAPUserModel recipientUser) {
        List<TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel> customKeyboardItems = new ArrayList<>();
        TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel customKeyboardItem1 = new TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel(
                "customKeyboardItem1",
                getDrawable(R.drawable.keyboard_icon_1),
                "Hello, " + room.getRoomName()
        );
        TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel customKeyboardItem2 = new TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel(
                "customKeyboardItem2",
                "https://www.yoururl.com/image2.png",
                "Hello, my name is " + activeUser.getName()
        );
        customKeyboardItems.add(customKeyboardItem1);
        customKeyboardItems.add(customKeyboardItem2);
        return customKeyboardItems;
    }

    @Override
    public void onCustomKeyboardItemTapped(Activity activity, TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel customKeyboardItem, TAPRoomModel room, TAPUserModel activeUser, @Nullable TAPUserModel recipientUser) {
        if (customKeyboardItem.getItemID().equals("customKeyboardItem1")) {
            // Custom keyboard item 1 was tapped by user
        } else if (customKeyboardItem.getItemID().equals("customKeyboardItem2")) {
            // Custom keyboard item 2 was tapped by user
        }
    }
});

TapCoreMessageListener

TapCoreMessageListener listens to message-related events, such as receiving new or updated message. TapCoreMessageListener can be registered through the TapCoreMessageManager class.JavaKotlin

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().addMessageListener(new TapCoreMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onReceiveNewMessage(TAPMessageModel message) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onReceiveUpdatedMessage(TAPMessageModel message) {

    }
    
    @Override
    public void onMessageDeleted(TAPMessageModel message) {
    
    }

    @Override
    public void onRequestMessageFileUpload(TAPMessageModel message, Uri fileUri) {

onRequestMessageFileUpload()

Active user sends a message with file, such as image, video, or document. Returns the message to be sent and the uri of the file to be uploaded by the client.

Note: the callback onRequestMessageFileUpload() will only be invoked when the user calls setUploadMessageFileToExternalServerEnabled(true) in TapCoreMessageManager. Enabling this will prevent the SDK from uploading message files, which are image, video, or document, to TapTalk servers, means the message will not be sent until the client returns the uploaded file's URL to the SDK through the onFileUploadCompleted method in TapCoreMessageManager.

TapCoreRoomListListener

Changes to a chat room's state, such as pin and mute events are notified through TapCoreRoomListListener. An instance of TapCoreRoomListListener can be registered from the TapCoreRoomListManager class.
