Search for local messages
Overview
With the ZIM SDK, you can search for local messages of individual or group conversations by keywords, user ID, and other conditions. You can also search for conversations based on local messages.
Search local messages of a specific conversation
After creating a ZIM object and logging in, call the searchLocalMessages interface, pass in the parameters conversationID, conversationType, and config, and set the search conditions (such as keywords) to get the list of local messages that meet the conditions in a specific conversation.
The list of messages that meet the conditions will be returned through the ZIMMessagesSearchedCallback callback interface and classified by the corresponding conversation.
// Search for local text messages containing "zego" in a single conversation within the last 7 days.
long startTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
// Calculate the timestamp of 7 days ago
startTimestamp = startTimestamp - (7 * 24 * 60 * 60 * 1000);
long endTimestamp = System.currentTimeMillis();
String conversationID = "xxxx"; // Conversation ID
// For one-on-one conversations, the conversationID is the userID of the other party.
// For group conversations, the conversationID is the groupID of the group.
ZIMMessageSearchConfig config = new ZIMMessageSearchConfig();
config.count = 20; // Number of search results
config.order = ZIMMessageOrder.DESCENDING; // Specify the search order as querying from the last (time) message stored locally
config.keywords.add("zego"); // Set the keyword as "zego", supports up to 5 keywords. When multiple keywords are set, the search results will only show local messages that contain all the keywords at the same time.
