Send, receive, and manage messages with CometChat’s Android SDK messaging features

Quick Reference for AI Agents & Developers

Choose your messaging path:

• Send Messages → send-message - Text, media, and custom messages
• Receive Messages → receive-messages - Real-time message handling
• Edit Messages → edit-message - Modify sent messages
• Delete Messages → delete-message - Remove messages
• Threaded Messages → threaded-messages - Organize conversations

• Mentions → mentions - Tag users in messages
• Interactive Messages → interactive-messages - Buttons and forms

Messaging is one of the core features of CometChat. We’ve created methods to help you send, receive, and fetch message history.

At minimum, you must add code for sending messages and receiving messages.

Once you’ve implemented that, you can proceed to more advanced features like typing indicators and delivery & read receipts.
