Connection

Connect to TapTalk.io server

You can manually connect to TapTalk.io by calling connect() method.

Note: Please make sure that you have finished authentication by calling authenticate()method, otherwise, it will return an error

Java

TapTalk.connect(new TapCommonListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(String successMessage) {
        // Successfully connected to TapTalk.io server
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

TapTalk.connect(object : TapCommonListener() {
    override fun onSuccess(successMessage: String?) {
        // Successfully connected to TapTalk.io server
    }

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

    }
})

Disconnect from TapTalk.io server

You can disconnect from TapTalk.io when the user no longer needs to receive messages from an online state. But the user can still receive push notifications for new messages when the app is closed.

When the user is disconnected from the server, all event delegates will stop receiving event callbacks from the server.

Java

TapTalk.disconnect();

Kotlin

TapTalk.disconnect()     

Check Connection Status

You can check whether you are connected to TapTalk.io server by calling isConnected() method.

Java

boolean isConnected = TapTalk.isConnected();

Kotlin

var isConnected = TapTalk.isConnected()

Enable / Disable Auto Connect

You can choose to enable or disable auto connect by calling these methods. TapTalk.io will automatically connect to the server every time the user opens the app from the background when auto connect is enabled. Please note that the default value is enabled.

Java

@Override
public void onCreate() {
    ...
    
    // Call this method to enable or disable auto connect
    // The default value is set to enabled if you do not set this method
    TapTalk.setAutoConnectEnabled(IS_ENABLED);
}

Kotlin

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    ...
    
    // Call this method to enable or disable auto connect
    // The default value is set to enabled if you do not set this method
    TapTalk.setAutoConnectEnabled(IS_ENABLED)
}

Parameters

IS_ENABLED: (BOOL) set to true to enable auto connect to TapTalk server

Get Auto Connect Status

Use this method to obtain auto connect status. This method will return true if auto connect is enabled

Java

boolean isAutoConnectEnabled = TapTalk.isAutoConnectEnabled();

Kotlin

var isAutoConnectEnabled = TapTalk.isAutoConnectEnabled()
