# Transfer Ownership

> Transfer Ownership — CometChat documentation.

## Overview

`CometChatTransferOwnership` is a [Component](/ui-kit/android/v4/components-overview#components) that allows the current owner or administrator of a group to transfer the ownership rights and administrative control of that group to another user. By transferring ownership, the original owner can designate a new user as the group owner, giving them full control and administrative privileges over the group.

`CometChatTransferOwnership` is a [Component](/ui-kit/android/v4/components-overview#components) that allows the current owner or administrator of a group to transfer the ownership rights and administrative control of that group to another user. By transferring ownership, the original owner can designate a new user as the group owner, giving them full control and administrative privileges over the group.

Here are some key points regarding the transfer ownership feature in CometChat:

1. **Administrative Control**: The current owner or administrator of the group has the authority to initiate the transfer of ownership. This feature is typically available to ensure flexibility and allow smooth transitions of group ownership.
2. **New Group Owner**: During the transfer process, the current owner can select a specific user from the group members to become the new owner. This new owner will then assume the responsibilities and privileges associated with being the group owner.
3. **Administrative Privileges**: As the new owner, the designated user will gain full administrative control over the group. They will have the ability to manage group settings, add or remove members, moderate conversations, and perform other administrative actions.
4. **Group Continuity**: Transferring ownership does not disrupt the existing group or its content. The transfer ensures the continuity of the group while transferring the administrative control to a new owner.

## Usage

### Integration

`CometChatTransferOwnership`, as a composed of the [CometChatGroupMembers](/ui-kit/android/v4/group-members), offers flexible integration options, allowing it to be launched directly via button clicks or any user-triggered action. Additionally, it seamlessly integrates into activity and Fragment. With transfer ownership, users gain access to a wide range of parameters and methods for effortless customization of its user interface.

Since `CometChatTransferOwnership` is a custom view, It can be launched by adding the following code snippet into the XML layout file.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="XML">
    ```xml theme={null}
    <com.cometchat.chatuikit.transferownership.CometChatTransferOwnership
        android:id="@+id/transfer_ownership"
        android:layout_width="match_parent"
        android:layout_height="match_parent" />
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

If you're defining the Group members within the XML code, you'll need to extract them and set them on the Group object using the appropriate method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    CometChatTransferOwnership cometchatTransferOwnership = binding.groupMember;

    Group group = new Group();
    group.setGuid("GROUP_ID");
    group.setName("GROUP_NAME");

    cometchatTransferOwnership.setGroup(group);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    val cometchatTransferOwnership: CometChatTransferOwnership = binding.groupMember

### Advance

For advanced-level customization, you can set custom views to the component. This lets you tailor each aspect of the component to fit your exact needs and application aesthetics. You can create and define your views, layouts, and UI elements and then incorporate those into the component.

#### ListItemView

Utilize this property to assign a custom ListItem to the TransferOwnership Component, allowing for enhanced customization and flexibility in its rendering.

You can indeed create a custom layout file named `item_list.xml` for more complex or unique list items.

Once this layout file is made, you would inflate it inside the `createView()` method of the `GroupMembersViewHolderListeners.`. The inflation process prepares the layout for use in your application:

Following this, you would use the `bindView()` method to initialize and assign values to your individual views. This could include setting text on TextViews, images on ImageViews, and so on based on the properties of the Group object:

#### SetMenu

You can set the Custom Menu view to add more options to the Groups component.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setMenu(View v);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setMenu(v)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Example**

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cometchat-22654f5b/bUk-WwSNpBXF92Yc/images/db638ccc-transfer_ownership_set_menu_cometchat_screens-0a774798e20c6cca32be62d0025e7618.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=bUk-WwSNpBXF92Yc&q=85&s=7b2b17600e0877b59d22e5a5587056f0" width="4498" height="3120" data-path="images/db638ccc-transfer_ownership_set_menu_cometchat_screens-0a774798e20c6cca32be62d0025e7618.png" />
</Frame>

You need to create a `view_menu.xml` as a custom view file. Which we will inflate and pass to `.setMenu()`.

```xml view_menu.xml theme={null}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    xmlns:app="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res-auto"
    xmlns:tools="http://schemas.android.com/tools"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:orientation="horizontal"
    tools:context=".MainActivity">

    <ImageView
        android:id="@+id/img_refresh"
        android:layout_width="30dp"
        android:layout_height="30dp"
        android:src="@drawable/ic_refresh_black" />

</LinearLayout>
```

You inflate the view and pass it to `setMenu`. You can get the child view reference and can handle click actions.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java YourActivity.java theme={null}
    View view = getLayoutInflater().inflate(R.layout.view_menu, null);
    ImageView imgRefresh = view.findViewById(R.id.img_refresh);
    imgRefresh.setOnClickListener(v -> {
        Toast.makeText(requireContext(), "Clicked on Refresh", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
    });
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setMenu(view);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin YourActivity.kt theme={null}
    val view: View = layoutInflater.inflate(R.layout.view_menu, null)
    val imgRefresh = view.findViewById<ImageView>(R.id.img_refresh)
    imgRefresh.setOnClickListener { v: View? ->
        Toast.makeText(requireContext(), "Clicked on Refresh", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setMenu(view)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### SetLoadingStateView

You can set a custom loader view using `setLoadingStateView` to match the loading view of your app.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setLoadingStateView();
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setLoadingStateView()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Example**

<Frame>
  <img src="https://mintcdn.com/cometchat-22654f5b/vk8kXY4T6hhH4l00/images/6c520f6c-transfer_ownership_set_loading_state_view_cometchat_screens-0933d34e035b668048989c1234884944.png?fit=max&auto=format&n=vk8kXY4T6hhH4l00&q=85&s=57966a8839933cb2f555a3767a3fda95" width="4498" height="3120" data-path="images/6c520f6c-transfer_ownership_set_loading_state_view_cometchat_screens-0933d34e035b668048989c1234884944.png" />
</Frame>

We have added a `ContentLoadingProgressBar` to `loading_view_layout.xml`. You can choose any view you prefer. This view should be inflated and passed to the `setLoadingStateView()` method.

```xml loading_view_layout.xml theme={null}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FrameLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent"
    android:layout_gravity="center_vertical">

    <androidx.core.widget.ContentLoadingProgressBar
        style="?android:attr/progressBarStyleLarge"
        android:layout_width="wrap_content"
        android:layout_height="wrap_content"
        android:layout_gravity="center_horizontal" />

</FrameLayout>
```

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java YourActivity.java theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setLoadingStateView(R.layout.loading_view_layout);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin YourActivity.kt theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setLoadingStateView(R.layout.loading_view_layout)
    ```
  </Tab>

#### SetEmptyStateView

You can set a custom `EmptyStateView` using `setEmptyStateView` to match the empty view of your app.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setEmptyStateView();
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    cometchatTransferOwnership.setEmptyStateView()
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Examples**

We have added an error view to `empty_view_layout.xml`. You can choose any view you prefer. This view should be inflated and passed to the `setEmptyStateView()` method.

```xml empty_view_layout.xml theme={null}
