Event Delegate

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

Event Delegate Name	Description
TapTalkDelegate	Listens to general event changes in the application
TapUIRoomListDelegate	Listens to UI-related events in Room List View when UI implementation type is used
TapUIChatRoomDelegate	Listens to UI-related events in Chat Room View when UI implementation type is used
TapUIChatProfileDelegate	Listens to UI-related events in Chat Profile View when UI implementation type is used
TapUIMyAccountDelegate	Listens to UI-related events in My Account View when UI implementation type is used
TapUICustomKeyboardDelegate	Listens to custom keyboard-related events when UI implementation type is used
TAPCoreMessageManagerDelegate	Listens to events when a new/updated message is received by the application
TAPCoreRoomListManagerDelegate	Listens to changes to chat room's state in the room list
TAPCoreChatRoomManagerDelegate	Listens to chat room status events such as typing events and online status
TAPCoreContactManagerDelegate	Listens to contact related events such as block or unblock contact
TapUIRoomListViewControllerLifecycleDelegate	Listens to room list view controller lifecycle methods such as viewDidLoad, viewWillAppear, and many more.

TapTalkDelegate

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

Note: Make sure to add #import <TapTalk/TapTalk.h> before registering the delegate

Objective-C

ViewController.m

//ViewController.m

#import <TapTalk/TapTalk.h>

//Add TapTalkDelegate declaration
@interface ViewController () <TapTalkDelegate>

@end
  
@implementation ViewController
  
- (void)function {
  //Set TapTalk delegate to current
  [[TapTalk sharedInstance] setDelegate:self];
}

#pragma mark - Delegate
#pragma mark TapTalk
- (void)tapTalkRefreshTokenExpired {
  //Authentication is needed
}

- (void)tapTalkDidTappedNotificationWithMessage:(TAPMessageModel *_Nonnull)message fromActiveController:(nullable UIViewController *)currentActiveController {
    //Handle tapped notification message
}


- (void)tapTalkUnreadChatRoomBadgeCountUpdated:(NSInteger)numberOfUnreadRooms {
  // Returns number of unread messages from the application
}

- (void)tapTalkDidRequestRemoteNotification {
  //Register for remote notification
    [[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications];
}
  
@end

Method Name	Invoked When
tapTalkRefreshTokenExpired	User's refresh token has expired. Authentication with a new auth ticket is required.
tapTalkUnreadChatRoomBadgeCountUpdated:	The number of unread messages in the application is updated. Returns the number of unread messages from the application. Call method updateApplicationBadgeCount to update unread badge counter. You can see the function explanation in General section page.
tapTalkDidTappedNotificationWithMessage: fromActiveController:	User tapped the notification.
tapTalkDidRequestRemoteNotification	TapTalk.io needs to request for push notification, usually client needs to add[UIApplication sharedApplication] registerForRemoteNotifications]inside the method.

TapUICustomKeyboardDelegate

TapUICustomKeyboardDelegate 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. TapUICustomKeyboardDelegate can be implemented using the TapUI class.

//Add TapUIChatProfileDelegate declaration
@interface ViewController () <TapUICustomKeyboardDelegate>

@end
  
@implementation ViewController
  
- (void)function {
  //Set TapUI delegate to current
  [[TapUI sharedInstance] setCustomKeyboardDelegate:self];
}

#pragma mark - Delegates
#pragma mark TapUICustomKeyboard

  //Do an action when user taps a custom keyboard item
}


- (NSArray<TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel *> *)setCustomKeyboardItemsForRoom:(TAPRoomModel * _Nonnull)room sender:(TAPUserModel * _Nonnull)sender recipient:(TAPUserModel * _Nullable)recipient {
  //Set custom keyboard option items
  //Return items here if you wish to use custom keyboard in chat room
  return [NSArray array];
}
  
@end

To use custom keyboard in the chat room, return a list of TapCustomKeyboardItemModel on the setCustomKeyboardItemsForSender: method in this delegate. See the example below:

Objective-C

- (NSArray<TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel *> *)setCustomKeyboardItemsForRoom:(TAPRoomModel * _Nonnull)room sender:(TAPUserModel * _Nonnull)sender recipient:(TAPUserModel * _Nullable)recipient {
  
  NSMutableArray *customKeyboardItemArray = [NSMutableArray array];
  
  TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel *customKeyboardItem = [TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel new];
  customKeyboardItem.itemName = @"Item 1";
  customKeyboardItem.iconURL = @"Item Icon URL 1";
  [customKeyboardItemArray addObject:customKeyboardItem];
  
  TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel *customKeyboardItem2 = [TAPCustomKeyboardItemModel new];
  customKeyboardItem2.itemName = @"Item 2";
  customKeyboardItem2.iconURL = @"Item Icon URL 2";
  [customKeyboardItemArray addObject:customKeyboardItem2];
  
  return customKeyboardItemArray;
}

Method Name	Invoked When
customKeyboardItemTappedWithRoom: sender: recipient: keyboardItem:	A custom keyboard item in a chat room is tapped by the user. Returns custom keyboard item, room, sender user, and recipient user (only for personal chat room)
setCustomKeyboardItemsForRoom:sender:recipient:	Chat room is opened. TapTalk.io will request custom keyboard items from the client app to be displayed in the chat room. Returns room, sender user, and the recipient user (only for personal chat room)
