Delete A Conversation

Remove a single conversation for the current user on Android, with the required UID or GUID and type, plus a link to delete it for everyone via the REST API.

In case you want to delete a conversation, you can use the deleteConversation() method.

This method takes two parameters. The unique id (UID/GUID) of the conversation to be deleted & the type (user/group) of conversation to be deleted.

Deleting a conversation needs a connection — with offline support enabled, deleteConversation() is not queued for later. On success the conversation and its cached messages are removed from the on-device cache. See Send While Offline.

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 method deletes the conversation only for the logged-in user. To delete a conversation for all the users of the conversation, please refer to our REST API documentation here.

Parameter	Description	Required
