Chat SDK V6 brings some package changes that need to be addressed in order to successfully complete the transition from v5 to v6.
Android Manifest
First of all, let’s look at the AndroidManifest.xml changes. The following changes are required to be made in the AndroidManifest.xml file in case you’ve used the Stream’s classes directly in your manifest:
View Components
Second of all, any XML layouts that were using the Stream’s classes directly should be updated to use the new package names along with imports in a codebase.
If you forget to update the XML layouts, you may get an error at compile time, something like this:
Type mismatch: inferred type is ChannelListView but io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.channels.list.ChannelListView was expectedAlternatively it may crash at runtime with the error similar to this:
android.view.InflateException: Binary XML file line #58 in io.getstream.chat.ui.sample.debug:layout/fragment_channels: Binary XML file line #58 in io.getstream.chat.ui.sample.debug:layout/fragment_channels: Error inflating class io.getstream.chat.android.ui.search.list.SearchResultListViewHere you can find elaborated examples of the changes that are required to be made:
Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.avatar.UserAvatarView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.avatar.UserAvatarView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.avatar.ChannelAvatarView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.avatar.ChannelAvatarView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.header.ChannelListHeaderView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.channels.header.ChannelListHeaderView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.ChannelListView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.channels.list.ChannelListView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.header.MessageListHeaderView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.header.MessageListHeaderView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.MessageListView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.MessageListView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.MessageComposerView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.composer.MessageComposerView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.pinned.list.PinnedMessageListView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.pinned.list.PinnedMessageListView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.search.SearchInputView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.search.SearchInputView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.search.list.SearchResultListView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.search.list.SearchResultListView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.gallery.overview.MediaAttachmentGridView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.gallery.overview.MediaAttachmentGridView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.typing.TypingIndicatorView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.typing.TypingIndicatorView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.mention.list.MentionListView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.mentions.list.MentionListView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.content.DefaultMessageComposer* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.composer.content.DefaultMessageComposer*ChatUI customization
Thirdly, you may need to update imports of Stream’s classes in case you’ve used them while customizing ChatUI:
Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.navigation.ChatNavigator Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.navigation.ChatNavigator Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.utils.DateFormatter Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.helper.DateFormatter Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.images.ImageHeadersProvider Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.helper.ImageHeadersProvider Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.ChannelNameFormatter Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.helper.ChannelNameFormatter Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.attachment.preview.**Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.composer.attachment.preview.** Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.adapter.viewholder.attachment.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.adapter.viewholder.attachment.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.style.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.font.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.transformer.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.helper.transformer.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.helper.*TransformStyle Changes
ImageAttachmentViewStyle was replaced by MediaAttachmentViewStyle.
Next step could be updating imports related to any customizations you might’ve made using TransformStyle:
Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.TransformStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.helper.TransformStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.StyleTransformer Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.helper.StyleTransformer Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.avatar.AvatarStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.avatar.AvatarStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.typing.TypingIndicatorViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.typing.TypingIndicatorViewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.pinned.list.PinnedMessageListViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.pinned.list.PinnedMessageListViewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.gallery.options.AttachmentGalleryOptionsViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.gallery.options.AttachmentGalleryOptionsViewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.mention.list.MentionListViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.mentions.list.MentionListViewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.header.MessageListHeaderViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.header.MessageListHeaderViewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.preview.MessagePreviewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.preview.MessagePreviewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.**.*Style Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.**.*Style Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.**.*Style Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.composer.**.*Style Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.*ViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.channels.**.*ViewStyle Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.search.**.*ViewStyle Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.search.**.*ViewStyleViewBinding Changes
In addition, view bindings’ packages were also updated. If you appeared using Stream’s bindings such as MessageListViewModelBinding, ChannelListViewModelBinding and others, you’ll need to update related imports as well:
Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.header.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.channels.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.search.list.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.search.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.header.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.channels.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.mention.list.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.mentions.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.pinned.list.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.pinned.bindView Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.typing.viewmodel.bindView Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.typing.bindViewViewModel Changes
In case of using any of Stream’s view models and view model factories you’ll need to update their imports as well:
Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.viewmodel.MessageComposerViewModel Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.MessageComposerViewModel Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.viewmodel.factory.MessageListViewModelFactory Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.MessageListViewModelFactory Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.header.viewmodel.MessageListHeaderViewModel Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.MessageListHeaderViewModel Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.search.list.viewmodel.SearchViewModel Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.search.SearchViewModel Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.mention.list.viewmodel.MentionListViewModel Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.mentions.MentionListViewModel Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.viewmodel.messages.**Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.messages.** Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.viewmodel.**Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.channels.** Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.header.viewmodel.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.channels.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.pinned.list.viewmodel.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.pinned.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.typing.viewmodel.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.viewmodel.typing.*Other Import Changes
Most likely, you won’t need these changes. However, in case your customization was deeper than usual, you might also need to update some other imports, such as:
Was: io.getstream.chat.android.compose.state.messages.MessagesState Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.state.messages.list.MessageListState Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.adapter.MessageListItem Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.adapter.MessageListItem Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.view.messages.MessageListItemWrapper Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.model.MessageListItemWrapper Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.navigation.ChatNavigator Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.navigation.ChatNavigator Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.navigation.destinations.ChatDestination Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.navigation.destinations.ChatDestination Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.view.EndlessMessageListScrollListener Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.EndlessMessageListScrollListener Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.view.EndlessScrollListener Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.EndlessScrollListener Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.utils.GridSpacingItemDecoration Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.GridSpacingItemDecoration Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.navigation.destinations.AttachmentDestination Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.navigation.destinations.AttachmentDestination Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.background.MessageBackgroundFactory Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.background.MessageBackgroundFactory Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.reactions.view.getUserReactionOrientation Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.reactions.view.getUserReactionOrientation Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.internal.FullScreenDialogFragment Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.FullScreenDialogFragment Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.utils.Utils Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.utils.Utils Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.Debouncer Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.utils.Debouncer Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.common.extensions.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.utils.extensions.* Was: com.getstream.sdk.chat.utils.extensions.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.utils.extensions.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.channel.list.adapter.**Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.channels.list.** Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.gallery.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.gallery.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.adapter.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.adapter.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.list.options.message.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.list.options.message.* Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.message.composer.**Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.feature.messages.composer.** Was: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.avatar.* Now: io.getstream.chat.android.ui.widgets.avatar.*
