Create the Multi-Tab Chat UI:
Update your lib/multi_tab_chat_ui_guid.dart file with the following code: 
import 'package:cometchat_chat_uikit/cometchat_chat_uikit.dart';
import 'package:flutter/material.dart';

class MultiTabUIGuideExample extends StatefulWidget {
  const MultiTabUIGuideExample({super.key});

  @override
  State<MultiTabUIGuideExample> createState() => _MultiTabUIGuideExampleState();
}

class _MultiTabUIGuideExampleState extends State<MultiTabUIGuideExample> {

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return DefaultTabController(
      length: 3,
      child: Scaffold(
        appBar: AppBar(
          title: const Text('Multi Tab UI Guide'),
          backgroundColor: Colors.white,
          leading: null,
          automaticallyImplyLeading: false,
          bottom: const TabBar(
            tabs: [
              Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.chat), text: 'Conversation'),
              Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.person), text: 'Users'),
              Tab(icon: Icon(Icons.group), text: 'Groups'),
            ],
          ),
        ),
        body: const TabBarView(
          children: [
            CometChatConversationsWithMessages(
                conversationsConfiguration: ConversationsConfiguration(
                    hideAppbar: true
                )
            ),
            CometChatUsersWithMessages(
                usersConfiguration: UsersConfiguration(
                    hideAppbar: true,
                    hideSearch: true
                )
            ),
            CometChatGroupsWithMessages(
                groupsConfiguration: GroupsConfiguration(
                    hideAppbar: true,
                    hideSearch: true
                )
            ),
          ],
        ),
      ),
    );
  }
