## Usage

### Integration

The following code snippet illustrates how you can directly incorporate the CompactMessageComposer component into your `layout.xml` file.

```xml theme={null}
<com.cometchat.chatuikit.compactmessagecomposer.CometChatCompactMessageComposer
    android:id="@+id/compact_message_composer"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content" />
```

<Warning>
  The CompactMessageComposer is responsible for managing runtime permissions. To ensure the **ActivityResultLauncher** is properly initialized, its object should be created in the **onCreate** state of an activity. To ensure that the composer is loaded within the fragment, it is important to make sure that the fragment is loaded in the `onCreate` state of the activity.
</Warning>

### Actions

[Actions](/ui-kit/android/components-overview#actions) dictate how a component functions. They are divided into two types: Predefined and User-defined. You can override either type, allowing you to tailor the behavior of the component to fit your specific needs.

##### setOnSendClickListener

The `setOnSendClickListener` event gets activated when the send message button is clicked. It has a predefined function of sending messages entered in the composer. However, you can override this action with the following code snippet.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnSendClickListener(new CometChatCompactMessageComposer.SendButtonClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onSendClick(Context context, BaseMessage baseMessage) {
            Toast.makeText(context, "OnSendButtonClicked ..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnSendClickListener(
        CometChatCompactMessageComposer.SendButtonClickListener { context, baseMessage ->
            Toast.makeText(context, "OnSendButtonClicked ..", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

##### setOnErrorListener

This action doesn't change the behavior of the component but rather listens for any errors that occur in the CompactMessageComposer component.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnErrorListener(new CometChatCompactMessageComposer.OnErrorListener() {
        @Override
        public void onError(Exception e) {
            // Your Exception Handling code.
        }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnErrorListener(
        CometChatCompactMessageComposer.OnErrorListener { e ->
            // Your Exception Handling code.
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

##### setOnTextChangeListener

Function triggered whenever the message input's text value changes, enabling dynamic text handling.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnTextChangeListener(new CometChatCompactMessageComposer.OnTextChangeListener() {
        @Override
        public void onTextChange(String text) {
            // Handle text change
        }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnTextChangeListener(
        CometChatCompactMessageComposer.OnTextChangeListener { text ->
            // Handle text change
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

##### setOnAttachmentClickListener

This action is triggered when the attachment button is clicked. You can override the default attachment sheet behavior with a custom implementation.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnAttachmentClickListener(new CometChatCompactMessageComposer.OnAttachmentClickListener() {
        @Override
        public void onAttachmentClick() {
            // Your custom attachment handling
        }
    });
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setOnAttachmentClickListener(
        CometChatCompactMessageComposer.OnAttachmentClickListener {
            // Your custom attachment handling
        }
    )
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

### Filters

CompactMessageComposer component does not have any available filters.

***

### Events

[Events](/ui-kit/android/components-overview#events) are emitted by a `Component`. By using event you can extend existing functionality. Being global events, they can be applied in Multiple Locations and are capable of being Added or Removed.

The CompactMessageComposer Component does not emit any events of its own.

***

## Customization

To fit your app's design requirements, you can customize the appearance of the CompactMessageComposer component. We provide exposed methods that allow you to modify the experience and behavior according to your specific needs.

### Style

Using Style you can customize the look and feel of the component in your app. These parameters typically control elements such as the color, size, shape, and fonts used within the component.

### Advanced

For advanced-level customization, you can set custom views to the component. This lets you tailor each aspect of the component to fit your exact needs and application aesthetics. You can create and define your views, layouts, and UI elements and then incorporate those into the component.

***

#### setTextFormatters

Assigns the list of text formatters. If the provided list is not null, it sets the list. Otherwise, it assigns the default text formatters retrieved from the data source. To configure the existing Mentions look and feel check out [CometChatMentionsFormatter](/ui-kit/android/mentions-formatter-guide)

**Example**

```xml themes.xml theme={null}
<style name="CustomCompactMessageComposerMentionsStyle" parent="CometChatMessageComposerMentionsStyle">
    <item name="cometchatMentionTextAppearance">?attr/cometchatTextAppearanceBodyRegular</item>
    <item name="cometchatMentionTextColor">#000000</item>
    <item name="cometchatMentionBackgroundColor">#000000</item>
    <item name="cometchatSelfMentionTextColor">#30A46C</item>
    <item name="cometchatSelfMentionTextAppearance">?attr/cometchatTextAppearanceBodyRegular</item>
    <item name="cometchatSelfMentionBackgroundColor">#30A46C</item>
</style>
```

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    // Initialize CometChatMentionsFormatter
    CometChatMentionsFormatter mentionFormatter = new CometChatMentionsFormatter(context);

    // set style to customize composer mention text
    mentionFormatter.setMessageComposerMentionTextStyle(context, R.style.CustomCompactMessageComposerMentionsStyle);

    // This can be passed as an array of formatter in CometChatCompactMessageComposer by using setTextFormatters method.
    List<CometChatTextFormatter> textFormatters = new ArrayList<>();
    textFormatters.add(mentionFormatter);
    compactMessageComposer.setTextFormatters(textFormatters);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    // Initialize CometChatMentionsFormatter
    val mentionFormatter = CometChatMentionsFormatter(context)
    // set style to customize composer mention text
    mentionFormatter.setMessageComposerMentionTextStyle(context, R.style.CustomCompactMessageComposerMentionsStyle)

    // This can be passed as an array of formatter in CometChatCompactMessageComposer by using setTextFormatters method.
    val textFormatters: MutableList<CometChatTextFormatter> = ArrayList()
    textFormatters.add(mentionFormatter)
    compactMessageComposer.setTextFormatters(textFormatters)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### setAttachmentOptions

By using `setAttachmentOptions()`, you can set a list of custom `MessageComposerActions` for the CompactMessageComposer Component. This will override the existing list of `MessageComposerActions`.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setAttachmentOptions(actionList);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setAttachmentOptions(actionList)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Example**

In this example, we are overriding the existing MessageComposerActions List with custom actions.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    List<CometChatMessageComposerAction> actionList = new ArrayList<>();

    CometChatMessageComposerAction action1 = new CometChatMessageComposerAction();
    action1.setTitle("Custom Option 1");
    action1.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_cp_1);
    action1.setOnClick(new OnClick() {
        @Override
        public void onClick() {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Custom Option 1 !!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
    actionList.add(action1);

    CometChatMessageComposerAction action2 = new CometChatMessageComposerAction();
    action2.setTitle("Custom Option 2");
    action2.setIcon(R.drawable.ic_cp_2);
    action2.setOnClick(new OnClick() {
        @Override
        public void onClick() {
            Toast.makeText(context, "Custom Option 2 !!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
        }
    });
    actionList.add(action2);

    compactMessageComposer.setAttachmentOptions(actionList);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    val actionList = ArrayList<CometChatMessageComposerAction>()

    val action1 = CometChatMessageComposerAction()
    action1.title = "Custom Option 1"
    action1.icon = R.drawable.ic_cp_1
    action1.onClick = {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Custom Option 1 !!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
    actionList.add(action1)

    val action2 = CometChatMessageComposerAction()
    action2.title = "Custom Option 2"
    action2.icon = R.drawable.ic_cp_2
    action2.onClick = {
        Toast.makeText(context, "Custom Option 2 !!!", Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show()
    }
    actionList.add(action2)

    compactMessageComposer.setAttachmentOptions(actionList)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

***

#### setAuxiliaryButtonView

You can insert a custom view into the CompactMessageComposer component to add additional functionality using the following method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setAuxiliaryButtonView(view);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setAuxiliaryButtonView(view)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

Please note that the CompactMessageComposer Component utilizes the AuxiliaryButton to provide sticker functionality. Overriding the AuxiliaryButton will subsequently replace the sticker functionality.

**Example**

In this example, we'll be adding a custom button with click functionality. You'll first need to create a layout file and then inflate it inside the `.setAuxiliaryButtonView()` function.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    ImageView imageView = new ImageView(this);
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.save_icon);
    LinearLayout linearLayout = new LinearLayout(this);
    linearLayout.setOrientation(LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL);

    linearLayout.addView(imageView);
    compactMessageComposer.setAuxiliaryButtonView(linearLayout);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    val imageView = ImageView(this)
    imageView.setImageResource(R.drawable.save_icon)
    val linearLayout = LinearLayout(this)
    linearLayout.orientation = LinearLayout.HORIZONTAL

    linearLayout.addView(imageView)
    compactMessageComposer.setAuxiliaryButtonView(linearLayout)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

***

#### setSendButtonView

You can set a custom view in place of the already existing send button view using the following method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setSendButtonView(view);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setSendButtonView(view)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

#### setHeaderView

You can set custom headerView to the CompactMessageComposer component using the following method.

<Tabs>
  <Tab title="Java">
    ```java theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setHeaderView(view);
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Kotlin">
    ```kotlin theme={null}
    compactMessageComposer.setHeaderView(view)
    ```
  </Tab>
</Tabs>

**Example**

In the following example, we're going to apply a mock smart reply view to the CompactMessageComposer Component using the `.setHeaderView()` method.

```xml custom_header_layout.xml theme={null}
