Get Local Messages from Chat Room

In a chat room, you can retrieve messages that are already stored in the device's local storage by calling getLocalMessages() method.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getLocalMessages(ROOM_ID, new TapCoreGetMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Retrieved messages successfully
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters ROOM_ID: (String) the room ID to retrieve the messages for

Retrieving local messages is fast and reliable, but may not contain all messages available in the selected chat room. To obtain more messages that are available from the server, you may use getOlderMessagesBeforeTimestamp() and getNewerMessagesAfterTimestamp() methods.

Get Older Messages from Chat Room

To retrieve older messages in a chat room from the server, use the getOlderMessagesBeforeTimestamp() method.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getOlderMessagesBeforeTimestamp(ROOM_ID, MAX_CREATED_TIMESTAMP, NUMBER_OF_ITEMS, new TapCoreGetOlderMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages, Boolean hasMoreData) {
        // hasMoreData will return true if more messages that have not been retrieved remain in the chat room
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters ROOM_ID: (String) the room ID to retrieve the messages for MAX_CREATED_TIMESTAMP: (long) the maximum created time of the messages to retrieve, in milliseconds NUMBER_OF_ITEMS: (int) maximum limit of the number of messages to retrieve

Get Newer Messages from Chat Room

To retrieve newer messages in a chat room from the server, use the getNewerMessagesAfterTimestamp() method.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getNewerMessagesAfterTimestamp(ROOM_ID, MIN_CREATED_TIMESTAMP, LAST_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP, new TapCoreGetMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Retrieved messages successfully
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

You can also call getNewerMessages() without providing MIN_CREATED_TIMESTAMP and LAST_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP, only providing ROOM_ID as the parameter. With this method, MIN_CREATED_TIMESTAMP will automatically be set to the oldest existing message's created time in the room, and LAST_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP will be obtained from local cache.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getNewerMessages(ROOM_ID, new TapCoreGetMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Retrieved messages successfully
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters ROOM_ID: (String) the room ID to retrieve the messages for MIN_CREATED_TIMESTAMP: (long) the minimum created time of the messages to retrieve, in millisecond LAST_UPDATE_TIMESTAMP: (long) the minimum updated time of the messages to retrieve, in milliseconds NUMBER_OF_ITEMS: (int) maximum limit of the number of messages to retrieve

Get All Messages from Chat Room

You may also retrieve all available messages from a chat room using the getAllMessagesFromRoom() method.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getAllMessagesFromRoom(ROOM_ID, new TapCoreGetAllMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onGetLocalMessagesCompleted(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Retrieved local messages from room
    }
    
    @Override
    public void onGetAllMessagesCompleted(List<TAPMessageModel> allMessages, List<TAPMessageModel> olderMessages, List<TAPMessageModel> newerMessages) {
        // Successfully retrieved all messages from room
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters ROOM_ID: (String) the room ID to retrieve the messages from

getAllMessagesFromRoom() is convenient to obtain all existing chat room messages since the beginning of the room creation, but the process will take longer depending on the number of messages contained in the selected room. TapCoreGetAllMessageListener will trigger two callbacks sequentially during the process of retrieving messages: • onGetLocalMessagesCompleted() will be triggered first once local messages are retrieved, the process will then continue to retrieve more messages from the server. • onGetAllMessagesCompleted() will be triggered after all messages from the server are successfully retrieved, this callback contains three parameters containing all messages, older messages (that did not exist in local storage), and newer messages that have recently been updated), the latter two parameters might be empty depending on the situation.

Get Unread Messages from Chat Room

You can retrieve unread messages from the device's local storage by calling getUnreadMessagesFromRoom() method.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getUnreadMessagesFromRoom(ROOM_ID, new TapCoreGetMessageListener() {

    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Retrieved messages successfully
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters ROOM_ID: (String) the room ID to retrieve the messages from

Get Media Messages from Chat Room

You can also retrieve media messages from the device's local storage, which consists of image, video, and documents, by calling getMediaMessagesFromRoom() method.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().getUnreadMessagesFromRoom(ROOM_ID, LAST_TIMESTAMP, NUMBER_OF_ITEM, new TapCoreGetMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Retrieved messages successfully
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters ROOM_ID: (String) the room ID to retrieve the messages from LAST_TIMESTAMP: (long) the maximum created time of the messages to retrieve, in milliseconds NUMBER_OF_ITEM: (int) maximum limit of the number of messages to retrieve

Search Local Message

Call this method to search messages from the device's local storage with a keyword. Provided keyword will be used to filter message body in the search result.

Java

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().searchLocalMessageWithKeyword(KEYWORD, new TapCoreGetMessageListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(List<TAPMessageModel> messages) {
        // Returns filtered messages obtained from local storage
    }

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

    }
});

Kotlin

Parameters KEYWORD: (String) search keyword to filter message body

TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().starMessage(ROOM_ID, MESSAGE_ID, new TapCoreGetStringArrayListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(ArrayList<String> arrayList) {
        // Returns list of messageID of starred messages
    }

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

    }
});

// Star multiple messages
TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().starMessages(ROOM_ID, MESSAGE_IDS, new TapCoreGetStringArrayListener() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(ArrayList<String> arrayList) {
        // Returns list of messageID of starred messages
    }

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

    }
});

// Unstar single message
TapCoreMessageManager.getInstance().unstarMessage(ROOM_ID, MESSAGE_ID, new TapCoreGetStringArrayListener() {
    @Override
