Poll Post

To create a poll post, you need to create a poll first and then attach the newly created poll to a post. SDK keeps all poll-related APIs in AmityPollRepository obtained from AmitySocialClient.newPollRepository and provides a builder design pattern named AmityPollBuilder which can be obtained from pollRepository.createPoll(question: String) .

It allows you to create a poll with these inputs:

• question - a question which can be up to 500 characters

• answers - a set of two to ten answers. Each answer can be up to 200 characters.

• answerType - indicator whether the poll allows multiple choices. Default type is AnswerType.SINGLE .

• closedIn - a time window indicating how long this poll will take. By default, the closedIn value is set to 30 days if the user does not set a value for it.
