This guide instructs you on how to show your chat app.
Note:
Before showing the chat make sure you have initialized this SDK and executed the setIdentity
method.
To check if the chat is available, use the following method:
// Possible errors:
// - sdk_not_initialized - means that you need to perform `initialize` method firstly and then `setIdentity`.
// - chat_already_started - means that you cannot have two chats opened.
fun isChatAvailable(): Result<Unit>
To start the chat, use the start
method in SinchChatSDK.chat.*
:
fun start(context: Context): Result<Unit>
The result will return information if the chat was shown correctly:
do {
val result = SinchChatSDK.chat.start(this)
if (result.isFailure) {
// do some things.
}
You may now set up [push notifications]((/docs/sinch-chat/getting-started/android/push/), if desired.
