Channel Header View

The ChannelHeaderView displays useful information about the current channel. Typically it will show:

• A back navigation button

• Channel name

• Last time the channel was active

• Online indicator about other users

You can add a ChannelHeaderView to your layout like this:

The view can be bound to the default ChannelHeaderViewModel, which is responsible to keep the view up to date, using ChannelHeaderViewModelBinding:

The ChannelHeaderViewModel provides the ChannelHeaderView with:

• Channel state to show the channel title

• Channel members to configure header and last active indicator

The following listeners can be set:

• setHeaderOptionsClickListener

• setHeaderAvatarGroupClickListener

• onBackClick

The channels header view exposes multiple variables and methods which might be helpful if you decide not to use ChannelHeaderViewModel but create your own controller instead:

• currentChannel

• setHeaderTitle()

• setHeaderLastActive()

• setActiveBadge()

• configureHeaderAvatar()

You must use the following properties in your XML to change your ChannelHeaderView:
