Typing status

Typing status displays a "typing" indicator when the other party is entering a message. The default ChatUI channel page includes built-in logic for sending and displaying typing status.

Limitations

• Supports direct channels (ChannelType.DIRECT) only.
• Typing status is a high-frequency event. Display it only when necessary.

Custom page integration

If you use a custom channel page, use the following nexconn APIs:

• Send typing status: DirectChannel.sendTypingStatus(...)
• Receive typing status: NCEngine.addChannelHandler(...).onTypingStatusChanged(...)

Kotlin

kotlin

val direct = NCChatUI.createChannel(
  ChannelIdentifier(ChannelType.DIRECT, "user_001")
) as DirectChannel

// Send "typing text" status
direct.sendTypingStatus(MessageType.TEXT)

Java

Java

DirectChannel direct = (DirectChannel) NCChatUI.createChannel(
    new ChannelIdentifier(ChannelType.DIRECT, "user_001"));

// Send "typing text" status
direct.sendTypingStatus(MessageType.TEXT);

Kotlin

kotlin

private const val TYPING_HANDLER_ID = "typing_status_listener"

NCEngine.addChannelHandler(
  TYPING_HANDLER_ID,
  object : ChannelHandler {
    override fun onTypingStatusChanged(event: TypingStatusChangedEvent) {
      val id = event.channelIdentifier
      val typingUsers = event.userTypingStatus
      // Filter by current channel and update title bar with "typing" indicator
    }
  }
)

NCEngine.removeChannelHandler(TYPING_HANDLER_ID)

Java

Java

private static final String TYPING_HANDLER_ID = "typing_status_listener";

NCEngine.addChannelHandler(
    TYPING_HANDLER_ID,
    new ChannelHandler() {
        @Override
        public void onTypingStatusChanged(TypingStatusChangedEvent event) {
            ChannelIdentifier id = event.getChannelIdentifier();
            List<ChannelUserTypingStatusInfo> typingUsers = event.getUserTypingStatus();
            // Filter by current channel and update title bar with "typing" indicator
        }
    });

NCEngine.removeChannelHandler(TYPING_HANDLER_ID);
