QUESTION
I'm using the MessageKit for chating when I calling the its delegate and datasource it saying (Cannot find 'messagesCollectionView' in scope) please see the code and guide me thanks.
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Aug-20 at 13:27Have a look at their example project usage. Should clear out lots of confusion.

As for your query,
Can't find messagesCollectionView because MessagesViewControllerneeds to be extended to access that.

I'm building a chat view for my app with MessageKit. Image messages are something that this chat view will support. I'm currently having an issue where if the last message is a picture message, the message won't be properly displayed:
I'm loading all my messages in viewDidLoad, and then updating the MessagesCollectionView in viewWillAppear:

I'm building an app using MessageKit.
I added an InputBarItem to the input bar, but it doesn't appear when the view first appears. Only after I pressed "send", the item shows up.
Below is part of the ChatViewController. Any idea why this happens?

QUESTION
I'm building a chat app using MessageKit, Firebase and InputBarAccessoryView pods.
I've found out that when I input a Memoji (aka sticker) in the textfield of the InputBar and press the "send" button, in the database the Memoji will be saved as "\n", which of course will be rendered as a blank bubble in the receiving user screen. The issue is exclusive to Memoji, regular emojis works fine.
Before sending, I already check if the user is trying to send an empty string, and if the case the message is not sent at all to the database, but I don't know how to check if a Memoji is being input.
Plus, in the textbar the Memoji is rendered awfully, see pic here, so the best solution would be cutting the problem at its roots and removing the option to input Memoji in the textfield or directly removing them from the keyboard.
I'm searching for a way to to remove Memoji from users keyboard, or to handle at best these issues, but i've found nothing googling.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Dec-08 at 18:28Memojis work this way: when selected from the keyboard, they are pasted into the TextView. So i just found a decent solution directly from the InputBar API:
QUESTION
I am using messageKit to create a live messaging portion for my iOS application. I am running into an issue with the avatar circles not loading properly. Sometimes they load sporadically, other-times they don't load at all, and sometimes they don't load then will randomly appear... so I am not sure what to do to ensure they load consistently. Here is an example of where they just load sporadically:
Ideally I'd want it to load like how the native messaging iOS app works where it loads the avatar at the end of blocks of text for the user. If someone could suggest how to go about this, I'm not sure what to do since the behavior is just completely inconsistent.
The function used for loading the images:

QUESTION
I am trying to add a UIView on top of the messagesCollectionView, but the collectionview seems to take up the whole screen making the UIView I want to add unable to be seen. I am looking at their documentation here: https://github.com/MessageKit/MessageKit/blob/master/Sources/Layout/MessagesCollectionViewFlowLayout.swift
My thoughts are to change something in the Layout delegate but I am unsure what and where to change... any thoughts on this would be appreciated!
Thanks!
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jul-21 at 19:58If you want to have some sort of floating view above the messagesCollectionView, then you can just add it as a subview to the MessagesViewControler's view, just make sure to do it after you've called super.viewDidLoad() because that's where MessageKit adds the collectionView as a subview so if you add it before then, then your view will be behind the collectionView and won't appear. To prevent the cells overlapping with your view, you can use messagesCollectionView.contentInset property to add padding to either the top or bottom if your view is floating there, so that the user can still scroll to all of the messages. Something like this:

how can I add admob banner to messageviewcontroller of messagekit?
I have tried. The ad is loaded but it not visible.
I would like to add the banner to the top of view.
Please help.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-18 at 02:08You need to call super.viewDidLoad() before you add any subviews (I'm not seeing if you even call it at all but it might be in the ... at the end). MessageKit uses viewDidLoad to add the MessagesCollectionView into the view hierarchy and so if you call super after, then your banner view will be underneath the MessagesCollectionView. In this case since you're instantiating a MessagesCollectionView with a custom layout you'll want to call super after instantiating that view but before adding any subviews like this:
QUESTION
I have been using MessageKit for my live chat feature for my application. One of the issues I am running into is that long messages just look very weird on the screen as the width of the bubbles doesn't seem to be restricted. I wanted to figure out a way to be able to set the maximum width of the chat bubbles so that they format more like a text conversation on the native imessage application.
Currently my messages look like this, but I would want the message below to be less wide and taller:
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-17 at 05:36It seems that the library that you are using has already a width set, but in my chat (which is customised) I have a greater than or equal than 0 width constraint a a less than or equal than MAX_WIDTH constraint a leading constraint = 0 and a 'trailing constraint = 0' and those last two I get rid of the leading or trailing depending on if it is the sender or receiver of the message.
QUESTION
I am using the MessageKit to create a real time chat in my Swift App. One issue I am getting is, I want my chat from the user to be on the left, and the chat from the person they are talking to, to be on the right. As of now this is flipped, and I am unsure what function that is being set in, or if this is just default and there isn't a way to change it. I see functions for changing the direction of the bubbles, and avatar location but nothing to quickly fix which side each new message goes on. Can someone help me figure out this issue. Here is what it currently looks like:
But instead I would want the second image to be orange and on the right side, and the orange text to be silver and on the left side. Thanks!
I feel like this should be a quick fix, I am just unsure which like function likely part of the deleagte that I can change, as it is my first time using this messageKit library.
...ANSWER
Answered 2020-Jun-08 at 18:30Not sure if this will fix everything but on MessagesDataSource protocol there is isFromCurrentSender
just reverse the return from that and I believe that most of the components use that function for layout.

Install MessageKit
You can use MessageKit like any standard Java library. Please include the the jar files in your classpath. You can also use any IDE and you can run and debug the MessageKit component as you would do with any other Java program. Best practice is to use a build tool that supports dependency management such as Maven or Gradle. For Maven installation, please refer maven.apache.org. For Gradle installation, please refer gradle.org .
