Delete Conversation

Delete user or group conversations using the CometChat Android SDK.

AI Integration Quick Reference

// Delete user conversation
CometChat.deleteConversation("UID", CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_USER,
    object : CallbackListener<String>() {
        override fun onSuccess(message: String) { }
        override fun onError(e: CometChatException) { }
    })

// Delete group conversation
CometChat.deleteConversation("GUID", CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_GROUP, callback)

Note: This deletes the conversation only for the logged-in user. To delete for all users, use the REST API.

Java (User)

CometChat.deleteConversation(UID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_USER, new CometChat.CallbackListener<String>() {
  @Override
  public void onSuccess(String s) {
    Log.d(TAG, s);
  }

  @Override
  public void onError(CometChatException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage());
  }
});

Java (Group)

CometChat.deleteConversation(GUID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_GROUP, new CometChat.CallbackListener<String>() {
  @Override
    public void onSuccess(String s) {
    Log.d(TAG, s);
  }

  @Override
    public void onError(CometChatException e) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.getMessage());
  }
});

Kotlin (User)

CometChat.deleteConversation(UID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_USER, object : CallbackListener<String?>() {
  override fun onSuccess(s: String?) {
    Log.d(TAG, s)
  }

  override fun onError(e: CometChatException) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.message)
  }
})

Kotlin (Group)

CometChat.deleteConversation(GUID, CometChatConstants.RECEIVER_TYPE_GROUP, object : CallbackListener<String?>() {
  override fun onSuccess(s: String?) {
    Log.d(TAG, s)
  }

  override fun onError(e: CometChatException) {
    Log.d(TAG, e.message)
  }
})

This deletes the conversation only for the logged-in user. To delete for all participants, use the REST API.
