Prototype

TIM_DECL int TIMMsgReportReaded(const char* conv_id, enum TIMConvType conv_type, const char* json_msg_param, TIMCommCallback cb, const void* user_data);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
conv_id	const char*	Conversation ID. Starting from v5.8, if conv_id is set to the NULL string pointer or the null string "", conv_type indicates that all one-to-one or group messages are read.
conv_type	enum TIMConvType	Conversation type. For more information, see TIMConvType.
json_msg_param	const char*	JSON string of the message.
cb	TIMCommCallback	Callback function for notifying whether the message read state is reported. For more information about the callback function definition, see TIMCommCallback.
user_data	const void*	User-defined data. The IM SDK only transfers the user data to the callback function cb without processing the data.

Type	Description
int	If TIM_SUCC is returned, the API was successfully called. (The callback cb is called only when the API returns TIM_SUCC.) If other values are returned, the API failed to be called. For more information about the definition of each return value, see TIMResult.

Note：

json_msg_param can be set to the NULL string pointer or the null string "". In that case, the timestamp of the latest message (if any) in the conversation or the current time is used as the read timestamp for reporting. If a message needs to be specified, the timestamp of this specified message is used as the read timestamp for reporting. We recommend that the message JSON content in the message array obtained from the received new message or the message JSON content located by the message locator be used to avoid repeated construction of the message JSON content.

• This API is used to accurately locate a message of the specified conversation by using the message locator. It is often used to search for a specified message upon message recall.
• One message locator corresponds to one message.

Example

Json::Value json_msg_locator;                      // One message locator corresponds to one message (accurate location)
json_msg_locator[kTIMMsgLocatorIsRevoked] = false; // Whether the message is recalled
json_msg_locator[kTIMMsgLocatorTime] = 123;        // Specifies the message time
json_msg_locator[kTIMMsgLocatorSeq] = 1;           
json_msg_locator[kTIMMsgLocatorIsSelf] = false;    
json_msg_locator[kTIMMsgLocatorRand] = 12345678;

}, nullptr);
// The `json_msg_Locator_array` JSON string obtained by `json_msg_locators.toStyledString().c_str()` is as follows:
[
 {
    "message_locator_is_revoked" : false,
    "message_locator_is_self" : false,
    "message_locator_rand" : 12345678,
    "message_locator_seq" : 1,
    "message_locator_time" : 123
 }
]

Note：

This API is used to import messages in batches. You can construct messages for importing. Alternatively, you can store the JSON string of the message array to be imported and call this API to import the JSON string, avoiding repeated construction of the message array.

Example

Json::Value json_value_elem; // Construct the message text element
json_value_elem[kTIMElemType] = TIMElemType::kTIMElem_Text;
json_value_elem[kTIMTextElemContent] = "this is import msg";
Json::Value json_value_msg; // Construct a message
json_value_msg[kTIMMsgSender] = login_id;
json_value_msg[kTIMMsgClientTime] = time(NULL);
json_value_msg[kTIMMsgServerTime] = time(NULL);
json_value_msg[kTIMMsgElemArray].append(json_value_elem);
Json::Value json_value_msgs;  // Message array
json_value_msgs.append(json_value_msg);
TIMMsgImportMsgList("user2", kTIMConv_C2C, json_value_msgs.toStyledString().c_str(), [](int32_t code, const char* desc, const char* json_param, const void* user_data) {

}, nullptr);
// The `json_msg_array` JSON string obtained by `json_value_msgs.toStyledString().c_str()` is as follows:
[
 {
    "message_client_time" : 1551446728,
    "message_elem_array" : [
       {
          "elem_type" : 0,
          "text_elem_content" : "this is import msg"
       }
    ],
    "message_sender" : "user1",
    "message_server_time" : 1551446728
 }
]

conv_type	enum TIMConvType	Conversation type. For more information, see TIMConvType.
json_msg_param	const char*	JSON string of the message.
cb	TIMCommCallback	Callback function for indicating whether the custom message is saved. For more information about the callback function definition, see TIMCommCallback.
user_data	const void*	User-defined data. The IM SDK only transfers the user data to the callback function cb without processing the data.

Return values

Type	Description
int	If TIM_SUCC is returned, the API was successfully called. (The callback cb is called only when the API returns TIM_SUCC.) If other values are returned, the API failed to be called. For more information about the definition of each return value, see TIMResult.

Note：

This API is used to save a message. Generally, you can construct a message JSON string and save it to a specified conversation.

TIMMsgGetMsgList

This API is used to obtain the message list of a specified conversation.

Prototype

TIM_DECL int TIMMsgGetMsgList(const char* conv_id, enum TIMConvType conv_type, const char* json_get_msg_param, TIMCommCallback cb, const void* user_data);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
conv_id	const char*	Conversation ID.
conv_type	enum TIMConvType	Conversation type. For more information, see TIMConvType.
json_get_msg_param	const char*	Parameter for obtaining messages.
cb	TIMCommCallback	Callback function for indicating whether the message list of the specified conversation is obtained. For more information about the callback function definition and parameter parsing, see TIMCommCallback.
user_data	const void*	User-defined data. The IM SDK only transfers the user data to the callback function cb without processing the data.

Return values

Type	Description
int	If TIM_SUCC is returned, the API was successfully called. (The callback cb is called only when the API returns TIM_SUCC.) If other values are returned, the API failed to be called. For more information about the definition of each return value, see TIMResult.

Note：

• The kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg parameter specifies the message as the start point for local message pulling. The kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamCount parameter specifies the number of messages to be pulled. kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg is optional. If you do not specify kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg, the newest message of the conversation will be used as the start point for local message pulling.

  • If you set kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamIsRamble to true, the roaming messages in the cloud will be pulled if the local messages are not enough.
  • If you set kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamIsForward to true, messages later than the message specified by kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg will be pulled. If you set it to false, messages earlier than the message specified by kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg will be pulled.

• When kTIMConv_C2C messages are pulled, only kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg can be used to specify the start point for message pulling. If kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg is not specified, the IM SDK uses the newest message of the conversation as the start point for message pulling.

• When kTIMConv_Group messages are pulled, kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg or kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsgSeq can be used to specify the start point for message pulling:

• If kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg is used to specify the start point for message pulling, the returned message list does not include the message specified by kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg.

• If kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsgSeq is used to specify the start point for message pulling, the returned message list includes the message specified by kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsgSeq.

• When kTIMConv_Group messages are pulled:

• If both kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg and kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsgSeq are specified, the IM SDK uses kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg to determine the start point for message pulling.

• If both kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg and kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsgSeq are not specified, there are two cases for the start point for message pulling:

• If the time range for message pulling is specified, the IM SDK uses the point in time specified by kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamTimeBegin as the start point for message pulling.

• If the time range for message pulling is not specified, the IM SDK uses the newest message of the conversation as the start point for message pulling.

Example: obtaining the Windows-02 message list of the C2C conversation

Json::Value json_msg(Json::objectValue); // Construct a message
Json::Value json_get_msg_param;
json_get_msg_param[kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamLastMsg] = json_msg;
json_get_msg_param[kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamIsRamble] = false;
json_get_msg_param[kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamIsForward] = true;
json_get_msg_param[kTIMMsgGetMsgListParamCount] = 100;
int ret = TIMMsgGetMsgList("Windows-02", kTIMConv_C2C, json_get_msg_param.toStyledString().c_str(), [](int32_t code, const char* desc, const char* json_params, const void* user_data) {
}, this);
// The `json_get_msg_param` JSON string obtained by `json_get_msg_param.toStyledString().c_str()` is as follows:
{
 "msg_getmsglist_param_count" : 100,
 "msg_getmsglist_param_is_forward" : true,
 "msg_getmsglist_param_is_remble" : false,
 "msg_getmsglist_param_last_msg" : {}
}

Return values

Type	Description
int	If TIM_SUCC is returned, the API was successfully called. (The callback cb is called only when the API returns TIM_SUCC.) If other values are returned, the API failed to be called. For more information about the definition of each return value, see TIMResult.

Note：

• This API deletes both local and roaming messages. Pay attention to the following:

• We recommend that you store the JSON string of the message array and then call this API to delete the messages, avoiding repeated construction of the message array.

• Up to 30 messages can be deleted at a time.

• This API can be called only once per second.

• If the account has pulled these messages from other devices, the messages will still be stored on those devices after this API is called to delete them. That is, the operation of message deletion cannot be synchronized across multiple devices.
