Implement 1-on-1 Messaging
1-on-1 messaging requires two users. JIVER identifies each user by User ID. The sample project provides a feature for 1-on-1 messaging where a user can invite another user by obtaining User ID in the open chat channel.
Start Messaging
You need target's User ID in order to start 1-on-1 messaging. Each message in an open chat contains sender's User ID, which can be used to create 1-on-1 messaging.
Open OpenChatChattingViewController.m in Xcode.
Implement tableView:didSelectRowAtIndexPath: to obtain the User ID of the message's sender.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
UIAlertController *messageSubMenu;
UIAlertAction *messageAction;
UIAlertAction *messageCancelAction;
if ([[messages objectAtIndex:indexPath.row] isKindOfClass:[JiverMessage class]]) {
JiverMessage *message = (JiverMessage *)[messages objectAtIndex:indexPath.row];
if ([[[message sender] guestId] isEqualToString:[Jiver getUserId]]) {
return;
}
NSString *actionTitle = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Start messaging with %@", [message getSenderName]];
messageSubMenu = [UIAlertController alertControllerWithTitle:nil message:nil preferredStyle:UIAlertControllerStyleActionSheet];
messageAction = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:actionTitle style:UIAlertActionStyleDefault handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {
[Jiver startMessagingWithUserId:[[message sender] guestId]];
}];
messageCancelAction = [UIAlertAction actionWithTitle:@"Cancel" style:UIAlertActionStyleCancel handler:^(UIAlertAction * _Nonnull action) {}];
[messageSubMenu addAction:messageAction];
[messageSubMenu addAction:messageCancelAction];
[self presentViewController:messageSubMenu animated:YES completion:nil];
}
else {
return;
}
}
You can see UIAlertController when you click other's messages in the open chat like this:
If you click "Start messaging with OPPONENT_NAME", then Jiver startMessagingWithUserId: is invoked. When it is invoked, the callback messagingStartedBlock: will be invoked as well. The callback returns JiverMessagingChannel object, which allows the user to join the 1-on-1 messaging channel.
You should insert codes for joining a channel in messagingStartedBlock:. Refer to the codes in messagingStartedBlock: for details.
- (void)startChattingWithPreviousMessage:(BOOL)tf

scrollLocked = NO;
[Jiver connectWithMessageTs:LLONG_MAX];
} endBlock:^(NSError *error) {
}];
}
else {
[Jiver connect];
}
}
These lines of code get a view controller for messaging from the storyboard and the view controller is set with the channel returned from the block. As a result, the view controller is initialized.
Implement Messaging
MessagingViewController.m is invoked by messagingStartedBlock: in OpenChatChattingViewController.m. Open MessagingViewController.m in Xcode to implement messaging features including a message transfer, a typing indicator and an unread message count. When the current channel is updated registerNotificationHandlerMessagingChannelUpdatedBlock: will be invoked, then you have to update the infomation and message's read status of the channel.
Modify viewDidLoad method to initialze the messaging system.
- (void)viewDidLoad {
// ...
[Jiver loginWithUserId:[Jiver deviceUniqueID] andUserName:[MyUtils getUserName] andUserImageUrl:[MyUtils getUserProfileImage] andAccessToken:@""];
[Jiver registerNotificationHandlerMessagingChannelUpdatedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
if ([Jiver getCurrentChannel] != nil && [[Jiver getCurrentChannel] channelId] == [channel getId]) {
[self updateMessagingChannel:channel];
}

if ([message isPast]) {
[messages insertObject:message atIndex:0];

if (lastMessageTimestamp < [message getMessageTimestamp]) {
lastMessageTimestamp = [message getMessageTimestamp];
}
if (firstMessageTimestamp > [message getMessageTimestamp]) {
firstMessageTimestamp = [message getMessageTimestamp];
}
if ([message isPast]) {
[messages insertObject:message atIndex:0];
}
else {
[messages addObject:message];
}
[self scrollToBottomWithReloading:YES animated:NO];
[Jiver markAsRead];

}
else {
[messages addObject:fileLink];
}
[self scrollToBottomWithReloading:YES animated:NO];
[Jiver markAsRead];
} messagingStartedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {

}

[Jiver joinChannel:[currentChannel getUrl]];
scrollLocked = NO;
[Jiver connectWithMessageTs:LLONG_MAX];
} endBlock:^(NSError *error) {
}];
} messagingUpdatedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
currentChannel = channel;
[self updateMessagingChannel:channel];
} messagingEndedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
} allMessagingEndedBlock:^{
} messagingHiddenBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {

} readReceivedBlock:^(JiverReadStatus *status) {
[self setReadStatus:[[status user] guestId] andTimestamp:[status timestamp]];
[self.messagingTableView reloadData];
} typeStartReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
[self setTypeStatus:[[status user] guestId] andTimestamp:[status timestamp]];
[self showTyping];

[Jiver joinMessagingWithChannelUrl:[currentChannel getUrl]];
}
We must manage the timestamp of the last and the first message. The timestamp of the last message will be used for loading next messages and the timestamp of the first will be used for loading the previous messages.
In the above code we used LLONG_MAX value for prevWithMessageTs: which means that the latest messages can be fetched from JIVER server. The messaging channel, however, can receive new message while it is fetching other messages from the server. So we invoke [Jiver connectWithMessageTs:LLONG_MAX] in resultBlock:. Any new message will be passed to messageReceivedBlock: of [Jiver setEventHandlerConnectBlock:...] like as a real-time message.
Load Previous Messages
Modify loadPreviosMessage method to fetch previous messages.
- (void) loadPreviousMessages {
if (isLoadingMessage) {
return;
}
isLoadingMessage = YES;
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator setHidden:NO];
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator startAnimating];
[[Jiver queryMessageListInChannel:[currentChannel getUrl]] prevWithMessageTs:firstMessageTimestamp andLimit:50 resultBlock:^(NSMutableArray *queryResult) {
NSMutableArray *newMessages = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
for (JiverMessage *message in queryResult) {
if ([message isPast]) {
[newMessages insertObject:message atIndex:0];
}
else {
[newMessages addObject:message];
}
if (lastMessageTimestamp < [message getMessageTimestamp]) {
lastMessageTimestamp = [message getMessageTimestamp];
}
if (firstMessageTimestamp > [message getMessageTimestamp]) {
firstMessageTimestamp = [message getMessageTimestamp];
}
}
NSUInteger newMsgCount = [newMessages count];
if (newMsgCount > 0) {
[messages insertObjects:newMessages atIndexes:[NSIndexSet indexSetWithIndexesInRange:NSMakeRange(0, newMsgCount)]];
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(1.0 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
[self.messagingTableView reloadData];
if ([newMessages count] > 0) {
[self.messagingTableView scrollToRowAtIndexPath:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:([newMessages count] - 1) inSection:0] atScrollPosition:UITableViewScrollPositionTop animated:NO];
}
isLoadingMessage = NO;
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator setHidden:YES];
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator stopAnimating];
});
}
else {
isLoadingMessage = NO;
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator setHidden:YES];
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator stopAnimating];
}
} endBlock:^(NSError *error) {
isLoadingMessage = NO;
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator setHidden:YES];
[self.prevMessageLoadingIndicator stopAnimating];
}];
}
Send a Message to a Channel
To send a message, modify sendMessage: method. This method is invoked by clicking the Send button or pressing the return key. Jiver sendMessage: method sends message in real-time.
- (void) sendMessage
{
NSString *message = [self.messageTextField text];
if ([message length] > 0) {
[self.messageTextField setText:@""];
[Jiver sendMessage:message];
[Jiver typeEnd];
}
scrollLocked = NO;
}
If you click the File button, clickSendFileButton: method will be invoked to open UIImagePickerController. Since UIImagePickerController is used to select an image to send, modify the following method - Jiver uploadFile:type:hasSizeOfFile:withCustomField:uploadBlock: which uploads imageFileData to JIVER server. This method returns JiverFileInfo object which can be sent through Jiver Jiver sendFile:.
- (void)imagePickerController:(UIImagePickerController *)picker didFinishPickingMediaWithInfo:(NSDictionary *)info
{
__block NSString *mediaType = [info objectForKey: UIImagePickerControllerMediaType];
__block UIImage *originalImage, *editedImage, *imageToUse;
__block NSURL *imagePath;
__block NSString *imageName;
[picker dismissViewControllerAnimated:YES completion:^{
if (CFStringCompare ((CFStringRef) mediaType, kUTTypeImage, 0) == kCFCompareEqualTo) {
editedImage = (UIImage *) [info objectForKey:
UIImagePickerControllerEditedImage];
originalImage = (UIImage *) [info objectForKey:
UIImagePickerControllerOriginalImage];
if (originalImage) {
imageToUse = originalImage;
} else {
imageToUse = editedImage;
}
NSData *imageFileData = UIImagePNGRepresentation(imageToUse);
imagePath = [info objectForKey:@"UIImagePickerControllerReferenceURL"];
imageName = [imagePath lastPathComponent];
[Jiver uploadFile:imageFileData type:@"image/jpg" hasSizeOfFile:[imageFileData length] withCustomField:@"" uploadBlock:^(JiverFileInfo *fileInfo, NSError *error) {
openImagePicker = NO;
[Jiver sendFile:fileInfo];
}];
}
}];
}
Implement Typing Indicator
Send Typing Status
The Messaging supports a typing indicator. The typing indicator shows who is typing and how many people are typing now.
When a message is being entered in UITextField, send a command to notify typing status. When UITextField is empty, send a command to notify the end of typing.
- (void) textFieldDidChange:(UITextView *)textView
{
if ([[textView text] length] > 0) {
[Jiver typeStart];
}
else {
[Jiver typeEnd];
}
}
Receive Typing Status
You can receive the typing status of other users in the same channel in callback blocks. [Jiver setEventHandlerConnectBlock:... includes these callbacks.
//...
} typeStartReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
[self setTypeStatus:[[status user] guestId] andTimestamp:[status timestamp]];
[self showTyping];
} typeEndReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
[self setTypeStatus:[[status user] guestId] andTimestamp:0];
[self showTyping];
}
//...
We always have to consider the network issue. The command that notifies the end of typing can get lost, so you need to implement a timer to handle this exception. The timer will remove the indicator after 10 seconds even if the command that notifies the end of typing is not received.
- (void)startTimer
{
if (typingIndicatorTimer != nil) {
[typingIndicatorTimer invalidate];
}
typingIndicatorTimer = [NSTimer scheduledTimerWithTimeInterval:10 target:self selector:@selector(clearTypingIndicator:) userInfo:nil repeats:NO];
}
- (void)clearTypingIndicator:(NSTimer *)timer
{
[self hideTyping];
}
- (void) showTyping
{
if ([typeStatus count] == 0) {
[self hideTyping];
}
else {
[self.typingIndicatorView setHidden:NO];
[self.typeStatusLabel setHidden:NO];
self.typingIndicatorHeight.constant = 48;
[self.view updateConstraints];
[self scrollToBottomWithReloading:NO animated:NO];
[self.typeStatusLabel setText:[MyUtils generateTypingStatus:typeStatus]];
}
[self startTimer];
}
The typing indicator is at the bottom of the message table view.
Manage Unread Count on Each Message
Send Mark-as-Read
In order to display the number of users who did not read a certain message, you have to send the mark-as-read command whenever you receive message.
[Jiver setEventHandlerConnectBlock:^(JiverChannel *channel) {
[Jiver markAsRead];
} errorBlock:^(NSInteger code) {
} channelLeftBlock:^(JiverChannel *channel) {
} messageReceivedBlock:^(JiverMessage *message) {
// ...
[Jiver markAsRead];
} systemMessageReceivedBlock:^(JiverSystemMessage *message) {
// ...
[Jiver markAsRead];
} broadcastMessageReceivedBlock:^(JiverBroadcastMessage *message) {
// ...
[Jiver markAsRead];
} fileReceivedBlock:^(JiverFileLink *fileLink) {
// ...
[Jiver markAsRead];
} messagingStartedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} messagingUpdatedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} messagingEndedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} allMessagingEndedBlock:^{
// ...
} messagingHiddenBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} allMessagingHiddenBlock:^{
// ...
} readReceivedBlock:^(JiverReadStatus *status) {
// ...
} typeStartReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
// ...
} typeEndReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
// ...
} allDataReceivedBlock:^(NSUInteger jiverDataType, int count) {
// ...
} messageDeliveryBlock:^(BOOL send, NSString *message, NSString *data, NSString *messageId) {
// ...
}];
Display Unread Count
When other users send you a mark-as-read command, it is passed to readReceivedBlock: callback in [Jiver setEventHandlerConnectBlock:...].
[Jiver setEventHandlerConnectBlock:^(JiverChannel *channel) {
// ...
} errorBlock:^(NSInteger code) {
// ...
} channelLeftBlock:^(JiverChannel *channel) {
// ...
} messageReceivedBlock:^(JiverMessage *message) {
// ...
} systemMessageReceivedBlock:^(JiverSystemMessage *message) {
// ...
} broadcastMessageReceivedBlock:^(JiverBroadcastMessage *message) {
// ...
} fileReceivedBlock:^(JiverFileLink *fileLink) {
// ...
} messagingStartedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} messagingUpdatedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} messagingEndedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} allMessagingEndedBlock:^{
// ...
} messagingHiddenBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
// ...
} allMessagingHiddenBlock:^{
// ...
} readReceivedBlock:^(JiverReadStatus *status) {
[self setReadStatus:[[status user] guestId] andTimestamp:[status timestamp]];
[self.messagingTableView reloadData];
} typeStartReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
// ...
} typeEndReceivedBlock:^(JiverTypeStatus *status) {
// ...
} allDataReceivedBlock:^(NSUInteger jiverDataType, int count) {
// ...
} messageDeliveryBlock:^(BOOL send, NSString *message, NSString *data, NSString *messageId) {
// ...
}];
If you received a mark-as-read command, update the read status of the current channel and reload the message table view.
- (void) setReadStatus:(NSString *)userId andTimestamp:(long long)ts
{
if (readStatus == nil) {
readStatus = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
}
if ([readStatus objectForKey:userId] == nil) {
[readStatus setObject:[NSNumber numberWithLongLong:ts] forKey:userId];
}
else {
long long oldTs = [[readStatus objectForKey:userId] longLongValue];
if (oldTs < ts) {
[readStatus setObject:[NSNumber numberWithLongLong:ts] forKey:userId];
}
}
}
When the current channel is updated by registerNotificationHandlerMessagingChannelUpdatedBlock:mentionUpdatedBlock:, you have to update the read status of the channel. The following method is invoked in registerNotificationHandlerMessagingChannelUpdatedBlock: callback.
- (void) updateMessagingChannel:(JiverMessagingChannel *)channel
{
[self.navigationBarTitle setTitle:[MyUtils generateMessagingTitle:currentChannel]];
NSMutableDictionary *newReadStatus = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
for (JiverMemberInMessagingChannel *member in [channel members]) {
NSNumber *currentStatus = [readStatus objectForKey:[member guestId]];
if (currentStatus == nil) {
currentStatus = [NSNumber numberWithLongLong:0];
}
[newReadStatus setObject:[NSNumber numberWithLongLong:MAX([currentStatus longLongValue], [channel getLastReadMillis:[member guestId]])] forKey:[member guestId]];
}
if (readStatus == nil) {
readStatus = [[NSMutableDictionary alloc] init];
}
[readStatus removeAllObjects];
for (NSString *key in newReadStatus) {
id value = [newReadStatus objectForKey:key];
[readStatus setObject:value forKey:key];
}
[self.messagingTableView reloadData];
}
If you implement the read status for all messages, you can see the unread count for each of them.
Implement Messaging List
Each user has a list of messaging channels which it joined. We will display the channel list on Messaging Tab.
Open MessagingChannelListViewController.m in Xcode.
The messaging channel list will be updated whenever each channel is updated. Each channel item in the list includes a title which consists of its members, the member count, the last message in the channel, the date of the last message and the unread message count.
startJiver method is invoked when the messaging tab is selected and prepareCloseMessagingViewController of MessagingViewControllerDelegate and prepareCloseMessagingInviteSelectChannelViewController of MessagingInviteSelectChannelViewControllerDelegate are invoked. registerNotificationHandlerMessagingChannelUpdatedBlock callback returns an updated messaging channel, which should be used to update the corresponding channel.
- (void) startJiver
{
[Jiver loginWithUserId:[Jiver deviceUniqueID] andUserName:[MyUtils getUserName] andUserImageUrl:[MyUtils getUserProfileImage] andAccessToken:@""];
[Jiver registerNotificationHandlerMessagingChannelUpdatedBlock:^(JiverMessagingChannel *channel) {
for (JiverMessagingChannel *oldChannel in channelArray) {
if ([oldChannel getId] == [channel getId]) {
[channelArray removeObject:oldChannel];
break;
}
}
[channelArray insertObject:channel atIndex:0];
[self.messagingChannelListTableView reloadData];
}
mentionUpdatedBlock:^(JiverMention *mention) {
}];
dispatch_after(dispatch_time(DISPATCH_TIME_NOW, (int64_t)(0.1 * NSEC_PER_SEC)), dispatch_get_main_queue(), ^{
messagingChannelListQuery = [Jiver queryMessagingChannelList];
[messagingChannelListQuery setLimit:15];
if ([messagingChannelListQuery hasNext]) {
[messagingChannelListQuery nextWithResultBlock:^(NSMutableArray *queryResult) {
[channelArray removeAllObjects];
[channelArray addObjectsFromArray:queryResult];
[self.messagingChannelListTableView reloadData];
} endBlock:^(NSInteger code) {
}];
}
[Jiver joinChannel:@""];
[Jiver connect];
});
}
When the channel is clicked MessagingViewController has to be open.
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
{
JiverMessagingChannel *channel = (JiverMessagingChannel *)[channelArray objectAtIndex:[indexPath row]];
UIStoryboard *storyboard = [self storyboard];
MessagingViewController *vc = [storyboard instantiateViewControllerWithIdentifier:@"MessagingViewController"];
[vc setMessagingChannel:channel];
[vc setDelegate:self];
[self presentViewController:vc animated:YES completion:nil];
}
Load Next Channel List
To see the next channel list, implement loadNextChannelList method. This method will be invoked when the `messagingChannelListTableView draws the last cell.
- (void)loadNextChannelList
{
if (isLoadingChannel) {
return;
}
isLoadingChannel = YES;
if ([messagingChannelListQuery hasNext]) {
[messagingChannelListQuery nextWithResultBlock:^(NSMutableArray *queryResult) {
[channelArray addObjectsFromArray:queryResult];
[self.messagingChannelListTableView reloadData];
isLoadingChannel = NO;
} endBlock:^(NSInteger code) {
isLoadingChannel = NO;
}];
}
}
