Disappearing Messages

Send messages that automatically disappear after a specified time interval.

Schedule Message for Deletion

Kotlin

val body = JSONObject()
body.put("msgId", ID_OF_THE_SENT_MESSAGE)
body.put("timeInMS", 1633521809051) // Change to a future timestamp

// Once the message is sent successfully, call this.
CometChat.callExtension("disappearing-messages", "DELETE", "/v1/disappear", body,
    object : CometChat.CallbackListener<JSONObject>() {
        override fun onSuccess(responseObject: JSONObject) {
            // Will disappear successfully.
        }
        override fun onError(e: CometChatException) {
            // Some error occurred.
        }
    }
)

Java

JSONObject body = new JSONObject();
body.put("msgId", ID_OF_THE_SENT_MESSAGE);
body.put("timeInMS", 1633521809051); // Change to a future timestamp

// Once the message is sent successfully, call this.
CometChat.callExtension("disappearing-messages", "DELETE", "/v1/disappear", body,
  new CometChat.CallbackListener<JSONObject>() {
    @Override
    public void onSuccess(JSONObject responseObject) {
        // Will disappear successfully.
    }
    @Override
    public void onError(CometChatException e) {
        // Some error occured.
    }
});
