# User

You can obtain current TapTalk.io active user data by using these methods:

### Get TapTalk.io Active User

Obtain current TapTalk.io active user from cache by calling `getTaptalkActiveUser()`.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Helper.TapTalk;
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Model.TAPUserModel;

...

TAPUserModel activeUser = TapTalk.getTapTalkActiveUser();
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}

```kotlin
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Helper.TapTalk
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Model.TAPUserModel

...

val activeUser = TapTalk.getTapTalkActiveUser()
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Refresh TapTalk.io Active User

You can retrieve the latest TapTalk.io active user data from the server with the `refreshActiveUser()` method.

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Helper.TapTalk;
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Listener.TapCommonListener;

...

TapTalk.refreshActiveUser(new TapCommonListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(String successMessage) {
        // Successfully updated active user data
        TAPUserModel activeUser = TapTalk.getTapTalkActiveUser();
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMessage) {
    
    }
});
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}

```kotlin
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Helper.TapTalk;
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Listener.TapCommonListener;

...

TapTalk.refreshActiveUser(object : TapCommonListener() {
    override fun onSuccess(successMessage: String?) {
        // Successfully updated active user data
        val activeUser = TapTalk.getTapTalkActiveUser()
    }

    override fun onError(errorCode: String?, errorMessage: String?) {

    }
})
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

### Update Active User Bio

You are able to update the active user's bio with a custom string by calling `updateActiveUserBio()` from **TapCoreContactManager** class.

Successful update will be reflected in the **bio** field of the updated active user's data (`TAPUserModel.getBio()`).

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Manager.TapCoreContactManager;
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Listener.TapCoreGetContactListener;
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Model.TAPUserModel;

...

TapCoreContactManager.getInstance().updateActiveUserBio(BIO_STRING, new TapCoreGetContactListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(TAPUserModel user) {
        // Successfully updated active user bio
    }

    @Override
    public void onError(String errorCode, String errorMessage) {
    
    }
});
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Kotlin" %}

```kotlin
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Manager.TapCoreContactManager
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Listener.TapCoreGetContactListener
import io.taptalk.TapTalk.Model.TAPUserModel

...

TapCoreContactManager.getInstance().updateActiveUserBio(BIO_STRING, object : TapCoreGetContactListener() {
    override fun onSuccess(user: TAPUserModel?) {
        // Successfully loaded latest user data 
    }

    override fun onError(errorCode: String?, errorMessage: String?) {

    }
})
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Parameters**\
BIO\_STRING: (String) custom string for active user bio
{% endhint %}
