Usage

You can add this View via XML:

<io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.pinned.list.PinnedMessageListView
android:id="@+id/pinnedMessageListView"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent" />

We recommend using this view with its ViewModel, which supplies it with data from the Stream API.

The basic setup of the ViewModel and connecting it to the View is done the following way:

val viewModel: PinnedMessageListViewModel by viewModels {
PinnedMessageListViewModelFactory(cid = "messaging:123")
}
viewModel.bindView(pinnedMessageListView, viewLifecycleOwner)

From that point, you should be able to see the list of pinned messages.

note

bindView sets listeners on the View and the ViewModel. Any additional listeners should be set after calling bindView.

Handling Actions

PinnedMessageListView allows you to configure certain actions on it:

pinnedMessageListView.setPinnedMessageSelectedListener { message ->
// Handle a pinned message item being clicked
}

The full list of available listeners is available here.
