Update typing status

Set focus to true when typing starts. Set it to false when typing ends, the input field loses focus, or the conversation screen closes.

conversationManager.changeInputState(
    new OnBase<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(String data) {
            // The typing state has been reported
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(int code, String error) {
            // code and error describe why the report failed.
        }
    },
    conversationID,
    true
);

Clear the state promptly when typing ends:

conversationManager.changeInputState(callback, conversationID, false);

Avoid repeatedly reporting the same state. A successful callback means that the report request completed.

Other clients receive typing-state changes through OnConversationListener.onConversationUserInputStatusChanged. The Android SDK returns the event payload as a string, so validate the JSON before parsing it:

@Override
public void onConversationUserInputStatusChanged(String payload) {
    InputStatesChangedData state = JsonUtil.toObj(
        payload,
        InputStatesChangedData.class
    );
    if (state == null || state.getConversationID() == null) {
        return;
    }
    // state contains the conversation, user, and active typing platforms.
}

The callback's conversationID, userID, and platformIDs identify the conversation, user, and platforms on which the user is typing. ConversationManager can retain only one OnConversationListener. If the application handles other conversation events, implement their callbacks in the same listener.

To query whether a specified user is currently typing, use Retrieve typing status.
