Overview

The CometChatIncomingCall is a Component that serves as a visual representation when the user receives an incoming call, such as a voice call or video call, providing options to answer or decline the call.

Usage

Integration

CometChatIncomingCall being a custom component, offers versatility in its integration. It can be seamlessly launched via button clicks or any user-triggered action, enhancing the overall user experience and facilitating smoother interactions within the application. Since CometChatIncomingCall can be launched by adding the following code snippet into the XML layout file.

<com.cometchat.chatuikit.calls.incomingcall.CometChatIncomingCall
    android:id="@+id/incoming_call"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

If you’re defining the CometChatIncomingCall within the XML code or in your activity or fragment then you’ll need to extract them and set them on the User object using the appropriate method.

CometChatIncomingCall cometchatIncomingCall = binding.incomingCall; // 'binding' is a view binding instance. Initialize it with `binding = YourXmlFileNameBinding.inflate(getLayoutInflater());` to use views like `binding.incomingCall` after enabling view binding.

User user = new User();
user.setUid(""); //Required
user.setName(""); //Required
user.setAvatar(""); //Required

cometchatIncomingCall.setUser(user); //Required - set the user object

    User user = new User();
    user.setUid(""); //Required
    user.setName(""); //Required
    user.setAvatar(""); //Required

    cometchatIncomingCall.setUser(user); //Required - set the user object
