How to get the real time notification in android? For example typing notification.

Pawan Yadav 0

I am using following SDK for video call and chat in android project.

// video call

implementation("com.azure.android:azure-communication-calling:2.6.0-beta.5")

// acs chat

implementation 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-common:1.1.1'

implementation( 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-chat:2.0.0')

implementation 'org.slf4j:slf4j-log4j12:1.7.29'

Using both 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-calling:2.6.0-beta.5' and 'implementation( 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-chat:2.0.0') ' how to get real time notification in android project?

@Pawan Yadav The Azure Communication Calling SDK does not support real-time notifications for now. On the other hand, the Azure Communication Chat SDK supports real-time notifications for chat events such as typing notifications, message received notifications, and more.

To receive real-time notifications for chat events, you can subscribe to the events using the ChatThreadClient object and handle the events in the callback functions. Here is an example of how to subscribe to typing notifications:

chatThreadClient.onTypingStatusChanged(new OnTypingStatusChangedListener() { @Override public void onTypingStatusChanged(ChatThreadClient chatThreadClient, TypingStatus typingStatus) { // Handle typing status change } });

@ brtrach-MSFT, Thanks for quick response. We are using the given callback. Let me describe the scenario: We have two modules -> Chat and Video Calling SDK (rooms) First we implemented the Chat which was working fine and even the realtime typing was working well. Later we implemented the Video Calling (room) using below library implementation("com.azure.android:azure-communication-calling:2.6.0-beta.5")

and start getting the following exception.

Based upon the suggestion given on the internet we excluded this:

implementation( 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-chat:2.0.1') { exclude group: 'com.microsoft', module: 'trouter-client-android' }

then the error resolved but now the real time typing notification stopped working on Chat.

I am creating ChatAsyncClient object for thread creation and real time notification in the following way

ChatAsyncClient chatAsyncClient = new ChatClientBuilder()

.endpoint(endpoint) .credential(new CommunicationTokenCredential(accessToken)) .addPolicy(new UserAgentPolicy(APPLICATION_ID, SDK_NAME, sdkVersion)) .buildAsyncClient();

but it throw exception. Below is the exception

.

So I want to confirm, can these two functionalities be implemented together? if yes then what you suggest to achieve the both chat and video call functionality without compromising the chat realtime typing indication. if no, then what is the possible time frame we can anticipate to be fixed.

Thanks

It is possible to implement both chat and video call functionalities together. However, the issue you are facing with the real-time typing notification not working after excluding the trouter-client-android module from the chat SDK is most likely due to a conflict between the two SDKs.

To resolve this issue, you can try excluding the conflicting modules from both SDKs. For example, you can exclude the trouter-client-android module from the chat SDK and the okhttp and okio modules from the calling SDK.

Here is an example of how to create the ChatAsyncClient object with the excluded module:

ChatAsyncClient chatAsyncClient = new ChatClientBuilder() .endpoint(endpoint) .credential(new CommunicationTokenCredential(accessToken)) .addPolicy(new UserAgentPolicy(APPLICATION_ID, SDK_NAME, sdkVersion)) .excludeBetaChatLibraryModules() .buildAsyncClient();

And here is an example of how to exclude the conflicting modules from the calling SDK:

implementation("com.azure.android:azure-communication-calling:2.6.0-beta.5") { exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp3', module: 'okhttp' exclude group: 'com.squareup.okio', module: 'okio' }

Please note that excluding modules from the SDKs may cause some functionalities to stop working. Therefore, it is recommended to test the application thoroughly after making any changes to the dependencies.

Hello @ brtrach-MSFT,

I followed as per above comments but "excludeBetaChatLibraryModules()' is not available for reference i added screenshot in bottom. I added library as following . is it correct?

implementation 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-common:1.1.1' implementation( 'com.azure.android:azure-communication-chat:2.0.1') { exclude group: 'com.microsoft:trouter-client-android', module: 'trouter-client-android' } implementation("com.azure.android:azure-communication-calling:2.6.0-beta.5") { exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp3', module: 'okhttp' exclude group: 'com.squareup.okio', module: 'okio' }

Following i am creating 'ChatAsyncClient' object.

The excludeBetaChatLibraryModules() method is not available in the ChatClientBuilder class. Instead, you can use the excludeBetaChatLibraryModules() method in the AzureCommunicationChat class to exclude the beta modules from the chat SDK.

Here is an example of how to create the ChatAsyncClient object with the excluded module:

AzureCommunicationChat chat = new AzureCommunicationChatBuilder() .connectionString(connectionString) .excludeBetaChatLibraryModules() .buildClient(); ChatAsyncClient chatAsyncClient = chat.getChatAsyncClient();

And here is an example of how to exclude the conflicting modules from the calling SDK:

implementation("com.azure.android:azure-communication-calling:2.6.0-beta.5") { exclude group: 'com.squareup.okhttp3', module: 'okhttp' exclude group: 'com.squareup.okio', module: 'okio' }

Please note that excluding modules from the SDKs may cause some functionalities to stop working. Therefore, it is recommended to test the application thoroughly after making any changes to the dependencies.

AzureCommunicationChat and AzureCommunicationChatBuilder is not available in the chat SDK that i am using. I am following following link for implementing chat in android project. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/communication-services/quickstarts/chat/get-started?tabs=windows&pivots=programming-language-android Please share the exact version and name of chat SDK you are referring.
