​
Conversation Status

To get the current ASAPPConversationStatus, implement the conversationStatusHandler callback: 
ASAPP.instance.conversationStatusHandler = { conversationStatus ->
    // Handle conversationStatus.isLiveChat and conversationStatus.unreadMessages
}
  • If isLiveChat is true, the customer is currently connected to a live support agent or in a queue.
  • The unreadMessages integer indicates the number of new messages received since last entering Chat.

​
Trigger the Conversation Status Handler

You can trigger this handler in two ways:
  1. Manually trigger it with:
ASAPP.instance.fetchConversationStatus()
The Chat SDK fetches the status asynchronously and calls back to conversationStatusHandler once it becomes available.
  1. The system may trigger the handler when you receive a push notification if the application is in the foreground. If your application handles Firebase push notifications, use:
class MyFirebaseMessagingService : FirebaseMessagingService() {
    override fun onMessageReceived(message: RemoteMessage) {
        super.onMessageReceived(message)
        val wasFromAsapp = ASAPP.instance.onFirebaseMessageReceived(message)
        // Additional handling...
    }
}
The Chat SDK only looks for conversation status data in the payload and doesn’t cache or persist analytics. If ASAPP sent the push notification, the SDK returns true and triggers the conversationStatusHandler callback.

​
Debug Logs

By default, the SDK only prints error logs to the console output. To allow the SDK to log warnings and debug information, use setDebugLoggingEnabled. 
ASAPP.instance.setDebugLoggingEnabled(BuildConfig.DEBUG)
Disable debug logs for production use.

​
Clear the Persisted Session

To clear the ASAPP session persisted on disk: 
ASAPP.instance.clearSession()
Only use this when an identified user signs out. Don’t use for anonymous users, as it will cause chat history loss.

​
Setting an Intent

​
Open Chat with an Initial Intent

ASAPP.instance.openChat(context, asappIntent = mapOf("Code" to "EXAMPLE_INTENT"))
To set the intent while chat is open, use ASAPP.instance.setASAPPIntent(). Only call this if chat is already open. Use ASAPP.instance.doesASAPPActivityExist to verify if the user is in chat.

​
Handling Chat Events

Implement the ASAPPChatEventHandler interface to react to specific chat events: 
ASAPP.instance.chatEventHandler = object : ASAPPChatEventHandler {
    override fun handle(name: String, data: Map<String, Any>?) {
        // Handle chat event
    }
}
These events relate to user flows inside chat, not user behavior like button clicks.

​
Implement Chat end, New Issue, and Agent Assigned

To track the end of a chat, or add custom codes on new issue and agent assigned, implement the following custom events
In this example, the system shows event messages as Toasts. But you can add any custom code here.
chatEventHandler = object : ASAPPChatEventHandler {
                override fun handle(name: String, data: Map<String, Any>?) {
                    if (name == CustomEvent.CHAT_CLOSED.name) {
                        Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
                            "Chat is closed",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                    } else if (name == CustomEvent.NEW_ISSUE.name) {
                        Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
                            "New Issue event received",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                    } else if (name == CustomEvent.AGENT_ASSIGNED.name) {
                        Toast.makeText(applicationContext,
                            "Agent is assigned",
                            Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
                    }
                }
            }
Chat end implementation is available for the SDK version 10.3.1 and above.
