Twilio IP Messaging: Channel join in Android not working properly

Question

I'm using Twilio library 0.9.1

I've created a channel and joined it. The unique name of channel is stored in a SQLite database. If I open app later some time, got the channel name from db and using getChannelByUniqueName method to get channel object. Before using this channel object for sending and receiving messages, I have to connect.

1. For that connection which method should i use?

2. Now i'm using join method for connecting and call back for join isn't able to get some times?

Using below snippet to join channel:

channel.join(new com.twilio.ipmessaging.Constants.StatusListener() {
@Override
public void onSuccess() {
    Utilities.writeToLogFile(Constants.LOG_ERROR_LEVEL, "Joined with channel: " + channel.getUniqueName());
}

@Override
public void onError(ErrorInfo errorInfo) {
    Utilities.writeToLogFile(Constants.LOG_ERROR_LEVEL, "Error joining channel: " + errorInfo.getErrorText());
}
});

The channel object I got from using getChannelsByUniqueName method of Channels class. I didn't get callback for join StatusListener sometimes. Neither receiver onSuccess nor onError callbacks.

Answer 1

Please check that you have synched your channels before getting the channel.

Something like client.getChannels().getChannel() might not work in the 0.9.1 release.

Here are the examples of retrieving channel object: one and two

I'm fixing this and many other listener problems for 0.10.0 release which is coming out real soon.
