Customization
In UIKit for Android, the fragment plays the most important role in building the UI of every screen because it creates the module and ViewModel. In each key function, you can customize the corresponding fragment to build a UI that fits your needs. The following list shows the various customization options that Sendbird UIKit provides. Each page shows ChannelFragment in the code as an example but it can be applied to all fragments.
- Customize UIKitFragmentFactory
- Customize the layout of the view
- Customize style of the view
- Bind event handlers to the view
- Add new APIs to the fragment
