UIKit config guide

UIKit config is designed to provide an easy-to-use feature configuration that would quickly onboard developers with Sendbird UIKit for Chat. Developers will be able to preview and adjust UI components right from Sendbird Dashboard. In addition, code-level customization is also available after the easy configuration from the dashboard is finished.

• Sendbird Dashboard account
• Sendbird Chat SDK
  - Android 4.8.2 or higher
• Sendbird Chat UIKit for Android
  - 3.6.0 or higher

UIKit config priorities follows the policy of the Sendbird Chat UIKit and the priorities are as follows:

• P3: UIKit default value from Sendbird Dashboard.
• P2: Values set from Sendbird Dashboard.
• P1: Values set by code.
• P0: Values set by calling the module.

Note : Code-level priority is higher than values set from the dashboard.

Currently, UIKit config supports following features to be configured from Sendbird Dashboard. However, more features are available for code configuration and the full list can be found on the Features page.

Note : To use Message search, the premium feature must be turned on from Sendbird Chat. Also, for the link preview and reactions features, internal Chat attributes must be turned on. Contact the Sales team for further information.
