Usage

Start an Activity - If you don’t need to do any customisation other than global theme customisation, you can use our EkoMessageListActivity.

Use the intent to move from one activity to the EkoChatHomePageActivity as follows:

//replace "channelId" with actual channelID
val messageIntent = EkoMessageListActivity.newIntent(this, "channelId")
startActivity(messageIntent)

Create a Fragment - If you need to customise the user interface, you can use our EkoMessageListFragment

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {

   override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
       super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
       setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val builder = EkoMessageListFragment.Builder("channelId")
        val messageListFragment = builder.build()
        val transaction = supportFragmentManager.beginTransaction()
        transaction.replace(R.id.fragmentContainer, messageListFragment)
        transaction.addToBackStack(null)
        transaction.commit()
   }
}
