Call Log History - CometChat Docs

Overview

CometChatCallLogHistory is a Component that shows a paginated list of all the calls between the logged-in user & another user or group. This allows the user to see all the calls with a specific user/group they have initiated/received/missed.

The Call Log History component is composed of the following BaseComponents:

Components	Description
CometChatListBase	`CometChatListBase` is a container component featuring a title, customizable background options, and a dedicated list view for seamless integration within your application’s interface.
CometChatListItem	This component displays data retrieved from a CallLog object on a card, presenting a title and subtitle.

Usage

Integration

CometChatCallLogHistory is a ViewController, it can be seamlessly presented within your application. To display the details of a CallLog, you simply need to pass the corresponding CallLog object to the CometChatCallLogHistory instance using its setCallLog property. This enables you to efficiently showcase specific call log details within your application’s interface.

Swift

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(uid: "your-uid")

self.navigationController?.pushViewController(callHistory, animated: true)

Actions

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.

1. OnItemClick

This method proves valuable when users seek to override onItemClick functionality within CometChatCallLogsWithDetails, empowering them with greater control and customization options. The setOnItemClick action doesn’t have a predefined behavior. You can override this action using the following code snippet.

Swift

let callLogHistoryConfiguration = CallLogHistoryConfiguration()
.set (onItemClicked:{ callLog, UIViewController in
//Perform Your Action   
    
})

Filters

Filters allow you to customize the data displayed in a list within a Component. You can filter the list based on your specific criteria, allowing for a more customized. Filters can be applied using RequestBuilders of Chat SDK.

1. CallLogBuilder

The callLogBuilder enables you to filter and customize the call list based on available parameters in callLogBuilder. This feature allows you to create more specific and targeted queries during the call. The following are the parameters available in callLogBuilder

Method	Description	Code
fetchPrevious	Fetches previous call logs	`fetchPrevious(authToken: String, onSuccess: (([CallLog]) -> Void), onError: (_ error: CometChatCallException?) -> Void)`
fetchNext	Fetches next call logs	`fetchNext(onSuccess: (([CallLog]) -> Void), onError: (_ error: CometChatCallException?) -> Void)`
limit	Sets the limit for the call logs request	`.set(limit: Int)`
callType	Sets the call type for the call logs request	`.set(callType: CallType)`
callCategory	Sets the call Category	`.set(callCategory: CallCategory)`
callStatus	Sets the call status for the call logs request	`.set(callStatus: CallStatus)`
hasRecording	Sets the recording status for the call logs request	`.set(hasRecording: Bool)`
callDirection	Sets the call direction for the call logs request	`.set(callDirection: CallDirection)`
uid	Sets the user ID for the call logs request	`.set(uid: String)`
guid	Sets the group ID for the call logs request	`.set(guid: String)`
authToken	Sets the auth token for the call logs request	`.set(authToken: String?)`
build	Builds the call logs request	`.build()`

Example In the example below, we are applying a filter based on limit , calltype , call status and calling fetchNext.

Swift

let callLogBuilder = CallLogsRequest.CallLogsBuilder().set(authToken: CometChat.getUserAuthToken()).set(callCategory: .call).set(callType: .audio).set(uid: "emma-uid")

let callLogsRequest = CallLogsRequest(builder: callLogBuilder)
callLogsRequest.fetchNext(onSuccess: {
    (callLogs) in
    // Call logs fetched successfully. 'callLogs' is an array of Call objects.
    print("Call logs fetched successfully. Found \(callLogs.count ) call logs.")
}
                          , onError: {
                              (error) in
                              // Error occurred while fetching call logs
                              print("Call logs fetching failed with error: \(String(describing: error?.errorDescription))")
                          })
let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(callLogBuilder: callLogBuilder)

2. CallRequestBuilder

The callRequestBuilder enables you to filter and customize the call list based on available parameters in callRequestBuilder. This feature allows you to create more specific and targeted queries during the call. The following are the parameters available in callRequestBuilder Example In the example below, we are applying a filter based on limit , calltype and call status.

Swift

let callRequestBuilder = CallLogsRequest.CallLogsBuilder()
.set(limit: 2)
.set(callType: .audio)
.set(callStatus: .initiated)
.set(authToken: CometChat.getUserAuthToken())

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(callRequestBuilder: callRequestBuilder)
.set(uid: "your-uid")

self.navigationController?.pushViewController(callHistory, animated: true)

Events

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 Call Log History component does not have any exposed events.

Customization

To fit your app’s design requirements, you can customize the appearance of the conversation 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.

1. CallLogHistory Style

You can customize the appearance of the CallLogHistory Component by applying the CallLogHistoryStyle to it using the following code snippet.

Swift

let callLogHistoryStyle = CallLogHistoryStyle()
.set(background: .systemYellow)
.set(borderColor: .systemRed)
.set(durationTextColor: .systemRed)
.set(borderWidth: 4)
.set(statusTextColor: .systemIndigo)

let callLogHistoryConfiguration = CallLogHistoryConfiguration()
.set(style: callLogHistoryStyle)

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(configuration: callLogHistoryConfiguration)
.set(uid: "your-uid")

Property	Description	Code
background	Used to set the background color	`.set(background: UIColor)`

durationTextColor	Used to set Text Color for Duration	`.set(durationTextColor: UIColor)`
durationTextFont	Used to set Font for Duration Text	`.set(durationTextFont: UIFont)`

2. ListItem Styles

To apply customized styles to the ListItemStyle component in the CallLogHistory Component, you can use the following code snippet. For further insights on ListItemStyle Styles refer

Swift

Swift

let listItemStyle = ListItemStyle()

listItemStyle.set(background: .init(red: 0.81, green: 0.64, blue: 0.96, alpha: 1.00))
.set(titleFont: .systemFont(ofSize: 18))
.set(titleColor: .systemBlue)
.set(cornerRadius: CometChatCornerStyle(cornerRadius: 8.0))
.set(borderColor: .black)
.set(borderWidth: 3)

let callLogHistoryConfiguration = CallLogHistoryConfiguration()
.set(listItemStyle: listItemStyle)

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(configuration: callLogHistoryConfiguration)
.set(uid: "your-uid")

Ensure to pass and present CometChatCallLogHistory. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

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.

EmptyView report

You can set a custom EmptyView using .set(emptyView: UIView) to match the empty view of your app.

Swift

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(emptyView: UIView)       //you can pass your own view

Example In this example, we will create a Custom_Empty_State_GroupViewa UIView file.

import UIKit

class CustomEmptyStateGroupView: UIView {
    // Initialize your subviews
    let imageView: UIImageView = {
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(named: "noDataImage"))
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        return imageView
    }()

    let messageLabel: UILabel = {
        let label = UILabel()
        label.text = "No groups available"
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        label.font = UIFont.boldSystemFont(ofSize: 16)
        label.textColor = .black
        return label
    }()

    // Override the initializer
    override init(frame: CGRect) {
        super.init(frame: frame)
        // Add subviews and layout constraints
        addSubview(imageView)
        addSubview(messageLabel)
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            imageView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerXAnchor),
            imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerYAnchor),
            imageView.heightAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 120),
            imageView.widthAnchor.constraint(equalToConstant: 120),

            messageLabel.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.bottomAnchor, constant: 8),
            messageLabel.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: centerXAnchor)
        ])
    }

    required init?(coder: NSCoder) {
        fatalError("init(coder:) has not been implemented")
    }
}

We will be passing a custom empty view to CometChatCallLogHistory, ensuring a tailored and user-friendly interface.

Swift

let customEmptyStateGroupView = CustomEmptyStateGroupView()

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(emptyView: customEmptyStateGroupView)

self.navigationController?.pushViewController(callHistory, animated: true)

Ensure to pass and present CometChatCallLogHistory. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

ErrorView report

You can set a custom ErrorView using .set(errorView: UIView) to match the error view of your app.

Swift

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(errorView: UIView)    //you can pass your own view

Example In this example, we will create a UIView file Custom_ErrorState_GroupView and pass it inside the .set(errorView: UIView) method.

Custom_ErrorState_GroupView

import UIKit

let CustomErrorStateGroupView: UIView = {
        // Create main view
        let view = UIView()
        view.backgroundColor = .white

        // Create an imageView and add it to the main view
        let imageView = UIImageView(image: UIImage(systemName: "exclamationmark.triangle"))
        imageView.tintColor = .red
        imageView.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        view.addSubview(imageView)

        // Create a label with error message and add it to the main view
        let label = UILabel()
        label.text = "An error occurred. Please try again."
        label.font = UIFont.systemFont(ofSize: 16)
        label.textColor = .darkGray
        label.numberOfLines = 0
        label.textAlignment = .center
        label.translatesAutoresizingMaskIntoConstraints = false
        view.addSubview(label)

        // Create constraints for imageView and label
        NSLayoutConstraint.activate([
            imageView.centerXAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerXAnchor),
            imageView.centerYAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.centerYAnchor, constant: -50),

            label.topAnchor.constraint(equalTo: imageView.bottomAnchor, constant: 20),
            label.leadingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.leadingAnchor, constant: 20),
            label.trailingAnchor.constraint(equalTo: view.trailingAnchor, constant: -20)
        ])

        return view
    }()

Swift

let customErrorStateGroupView = CustomErrorStateGroupView

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(errorView: customErrorStateGroupView)

self.navigationController?.pushViewController(callHistory, animated: true)

Ensure to pass and present CometChatCallLogHistory. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.

Menus

You can set the Custom Menus to add more options to the CometChatCallLogHistory component.

Swift

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(menus: [UIBarButtonItem])

You can customize the menus for CometChatCallLogHistory to meet your requirements

Example

In this example, we’ll craft a custom button tailored for CometChatCallLogHistory, enhancing its interface with a personalized menu for a more user-friendly experience.

Swift

let customMenuButton: UIBarButtonItem = {
    let button = UIButton(type: .system)
    button.setImage(UIImage(systemName: "swift"), for: .normal)
    button.setTitle("", for: .normal)
    button.addTarget(self, action: #selector(handleCustomMenu), for: .touchUpInside)
    let barButtonItem = UIBarButtonItem(customView: button)
    return barButtonItem
}()

let callHistory = CometChatCallLogHistory()
.set(menus: [customMenuButton])

Ensure to pass and present CometChatCallLogHistory. If a navigation controller is already in use, utilize the pushViewController function instead of directly presenting the view controller.
