Conversation List

This article will guide you through the process of building a conversation list interface.

Display Effect

The effect of the conversation list is shown below:



Environment Requirements

Android Studio-Giraffe
Gradle-7.2
Android Gradle Plugin Version-7.0.0
kotlin-gradle-plugin-1.5.31

Preconditions

Before building the interface, please ensure that you have completed the following 4 things:
1. Created an application in the console.
2. Created some user accounts in the console.
3. Integrated with TUIKit or TUIConversation.
4. Called the login API in TUILogin to log in to the component.
Note:
1. All components use this API to log in. You can log in once every time you start the application.
2. Please make sure that the login is successful, and we recommend that you do the following in the callback of successful login.
If you haven't completed the above 4 steps, please refer to the corresponding steps in Getting Started first, otherwise you may encounter obstacles when implementing the following features.
If you have already completed them, please continue reading below.

Step Instructions

To build a conversation list, you just need to add the Fragment corresponding to the conversation list to your Activity. Once added, the Fragment will automatically load recent conversations. If TUIChat is also integrated, when a user clicks on a line in the conversation list, it will automatically redirect to the corresponding chat interface.
MainActivity layout file:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"> <FrameLayout android:id="@+id/conversation_view" android:layout_width="match_parent" android:layout_height="match_parent"/> </FrameLayout>
MainActivity Java file:
Minimalist version
Classic version
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main_activity); TUIConversationMinimalistFragment fragment = new TUIConversationMinimalistFragment(); getSupportFragmentManager() .beginTransaction() .add(R.id.conversation_view, fragment) .commitAllowingStateLoss(); } }
public class MainActivity extends AppCompatActivity { @Override protected void onCreate(@Nullable Bundle savedInstanceState) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState); setContentView(R.layout.main_activity); TUIConversationFragment fragment = new TUIConversationFragment(); getSupportFragmentManager() .beginTransaction() .add(R.id.conversation_view, fragment) .commitAllowingStateLoss(); } }
Note:
If you haven't sent messages to any person or group before, no conversation will be generated. In this case, loading the TUIConversationMinimalistFragment will show an empty list. For a better experience, it's recommended to send messages to some accounts first to trigger the creation of conversations. If you want to know how to send messages in the chat interface, please refer to the document: Build Chat Interface.
