Links

Kotlin Chat SDK lets you encode URLs that begin with www, http, or https (plain links) so that they can be rendered as links.

Send message with links

You can attach links to the message and publish it using the sendText() method.

Method signature

Head over to the SendText() method for details.

Basic usage

Include these links in a text message: https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2 and https://admin.pubnub.com/#/login.

chat.getChannel("support").async { result ->
    result.onSuccess { channel ->
        // join the channel
        channel.join().async { joinResult ->
            joinResult.onSuccess {
                // handle success on joining
                
                // define the text links
                val textLinks = listOf(
                    TextLink(
                        startIndex = 14,
                        endIndex = 47,
                        link = "https://www.linkedin.com/mkelly_vp2"
                    ),
                    TextLink(

Get text links

You can access the textLinks property of the Message object to return all text links in a given message.

Method signature

This is how you can access the property:

message.textLinks

Basic usage

Get all text links included in the message with the 16200000000000000 timetoken.

val channel = chat.getChannel("your-channel")

channel.getMessage(16200000000000000).async { result ->
    result.onSuccess { message: Message? ->
        if (message != null) {
            // Access the textLinks property
            val textLinks = message.textLinks
            
            if (textLinks != null && textLinks.isNotEmpty()) {
                println("The message contains the following text links:")
                textLinks.forEach { textLink ->
                    println("Link: ${textLink.link}, Start Index: ${textLink.startIndex}, End Index: ${textLink.endIndex}")
                }
            } else {
                println("The message does not contain any text links.")
