AI Integration Quick Reference

// Update group details
val group = Group("GUID", "New Name", CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC, "")
group.description = "Updated description"
group.icon = "https://example.com/icon.png"

CometChat.updateGroup(group, object : CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>() {
    override fun onSuccess(updatedGroup: Group) { }
    override fun onError(e: CometChatException) { }
})

Note: Only admins and moderators can update group details. See Group Class for editable fields.

Update Group

Use updateGroup() with a Group object containing the fields you want to update.

Java

private String GUID = "GUID";
private String groupName = "Hello Group!";
private String groupType = CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC;
private String password = "";
Group group = new Group(GUID, groupName, groupType, password);

CometChat.updateGroup(group,  new CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>() {
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(Group group) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Groups details updated successfully: " + group.toString());
  }
  @Override
  public void onError(CometChatException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Group details update failed with exception: " + e.getMessage());
  }
});

Kotlin

val GUID:String="GUID"
val groupName:String="Hello Group!"
val groupType:String = CometChatConstants.GROUP_TYPE_PUBLIC
val password:String=""

val group=Group(GUID,groupName,groupType,password)

CometChat.updateGroup(group,object :CometChat.CallbackListener<Group>(){
  override fun onSuccess(p0: Group?) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Groups details updated successfully: " + p0?.toString())
  }
  override fun onError(p0: CometChatException?) {
    Log.d(TAG, "Group details update failed with exception: " + p0?.message)
  }
})

This method takes an instance of the Group class as a parameter, which should contain the data you wish to update.

Parameter	Description
group	An instance of the Group class

After the successful update of the group, you will receive an instance of the Group class containing the updated information of the group.

There is no real-time event listener available to receive updated group details when the updateGroup() method is called. To get the latest group information, you need to fetch the group details again using the appropriate method.
