Delete A Conversation

Delete A Conversation — CometChat documentation.

In case you want to delete a conversation, you can use the deleteConversation() method.

This method takes two parameters. The unique id (UID/GUID) of the conversation to be deleted & the type (user/group) of conversation to be deleted.

Java (User)

CometChat.deleteConversation(UID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_USER, new CometChat.CallbackListener<String>() {
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(String s) {
    Log.d(TAG, s);
  }

  @Override
  public void onError(CometChatException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage());
  }
});

Java (Group)

CometChat.deleteConversation(GUID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_GROUP, new CometChat.CallbackListener<String>() {
  @Override
    public void onSuccess(String s) {
    Log.d(TAG, s);
  }

  @Override
    public void onError(CometChatException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage());
  }
});

Kotlin (User)

CometChat.deleteConversation(UID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_USER, object : CallbackListener<String?>() {
  override fun onSuccess(s: String?) {
    Log.d(TAG, s)
  }

  override fun onError(e: CometChatException) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.message)
  }
})

  override fun onError(e: CometChatException) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.message)
