File Post

To create a file post, the file must be uploaded first. SDK provides a convenient class AmityFileRepository to handle uploading and downloading of files. The repository contains uploadFile method which takes Uri and provides you with an array of AmityUploadResult for successful upload or failed uploads. AmityUploadResult could return four possible types of data.

• AmityUploadResult.PROGRESS indicates an uploading state of the current upload and returns AmityUploadInfo to track the progress of the upload.

• AmityUploadResult.COMPLETE indicates a successful state of the current upload and returns AmityFile to attach.

• AmityUploadResult.ERROR(exception) indicates a failure state of the current upload and attach Exception.

• AmityUploadResult.CANCELLED indicates a canceled state of the current upload.

Now to create the image post. We can build the post first by using AmityFilePostCreator.Builder. Then use the same createPost method in AmityFeedRepository to create an image post.

Note. A post can consist of either a list of images or a list of files but not both.

Create a file post with mention

When creating a file post with mention, you can provide the JsonObject for the metadata parameter and provide the list of userId for the mentionUsers parameter.
