Message List - CometChat Docs

CometChatMessageList renders a scrollable list of messages for a conversation with real-time updates for new messages, edits, deletions, reactions, and threaded replies.

Where It Fits

CometChatMessageList is a message display component. It requires either a User or Group object to fetch and render messages. Wire it with CometChatMessageHeader and CometChatMessageComposer to build a complete messaging layout.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

activity_chat.xml

<com.cometchat.uikit.kotlin.presentation.messagelist.ui.CometChatMessageList
    android:id="@+id/message_list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

val messageList = findViewById<CometChatMessageList>(R.id.message_list)
messageList.setUser(user)

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user
)

Quick Start

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

Add to your layout XML:

<com.cometchat.uikit.kotlin.presentation.messagelist.ui.CometChatMessageList
    android:id="@+id/message_list"
    android:layout_width="match_parent"
    android:layout_height="match_parent" />

Set a User or Group — this is required:

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
    setContentView(R.layout.your_layout)

    val messageList = findViewById<CometChatMessageList>(R.id.message_list)
    messageList.setUser(user)
    // or messageList.setGroup(group)
}

@Composable
fun MessagesScreen() {
    CometChatMessageList(
        user = user
        // or group = group
    )
}

Prerequisites: CometChat SDK initialized with CometChatUIKit.init(), a user logged in, and the UI Kit dependency added.

Simply adding the MessageList component to the layout will only display the loading indicator. You must supply a User or Group object to fetch messages.

Filtering

Pass a MessagesRequest.MessagesRequestBuilder to control what loads:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setMessagesRequestBuilder(
    MessagesRequest.MessagesRequestBuilder()
        .setSearchKeyword("hello")
        .setLimit(30)
)

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    messagesRequestBuilder = MessagesRequest.MessagesRequestBuilder()
        .setSearchKeyword("hello")
        .setLimit(30)
)

Filter Recipes

Recipe	Builder method
Search by keyword	`.setSearchKeyword("hello")`
Filter by UID	`.setUID("user_uid")`
Filter by GUID	`.setGUID("group_guid")`
Limit per page	`.setLimit(30)`
Unread only	`.setUnread(true)`
Hide deleted messages	`.hideDeletedMessages(true)`

Pass the builder object, not the result of .build(). The component calls .build() internally.

Actions and Events

Callback Methods

`onThreadRepliesClick`

Fires when a user taps a threaded message bubble.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setOnThreadRepliesClick { context, baseMessage, template ->
    // Navigate to thread view
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    onThreadRepliesClick = { context, baseMessage, template ->
        // Navigate to thread view
    }
)

`onError`

Fires on internal errors (network failure, auth issue, SDK exception).

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setOnError { exception ->
    Log.e("MessageList", "Error: ${exception.message}")
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    onError = { exception ->
        Log.e("MessageList", "Error: ${exception.message}")
    }
)

`onLoad`

Fires when the list is successfully fetched and loaded.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setOnLoad { messages ->
    Log.d("MessageList", "Loaded ${messages.size}")
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    onLoad = { messages ->
        Log.d("MessageList", "Loaded ${messages.size}")
    }
)

`onEmpty`

Fires when the list is empty after loading.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setOnEmpty {
    Log.d("MessageList", "No messages")
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    onEmpty = { /* no messages */ }
)

SDK Events (Real-Time, Automatic)

The component listens to SDK message events internally. No manual setup needed.

Automatic: new messages, edits, deletions, and reactions update the list in real time.

Custom View Slots

Header View

Custom view displayed at the top of the message list.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setHeaderView(View.inflate(context, R.layout.custom_header_layout, null))

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    headerView = {
        Row {
            Text("Notes")
            Spacer(Modifier.width(8.dp))
            Text("Pinned Messages")
        }
    }
)

Custom view displayed at the bottom of the message list.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setFooterView(View.inflate(context, R.layout.custom_footer_layout, null))

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    footerView = {
        Text("End of messages")
    }
)

State Views

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setEmptyView(customEmptyView)
messageList.setErrorView(customErrorView)
messageList.setLoadingView(customLoadingView)

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    emptyView = { Text("No messages yet") },
    errorView = { onRetry -> Button(onClick = onRetry) { Text("Retry") } },
    loadingView = { CircularProgressIndicator() }
)

Text Formatters (Mentions)

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

val mentionFormatter = CometChatMentionsFormatter(context)
mentionFormatter.setMessageListMentionTextStyle(context, R.style.CustomMentionsStyle)

val textFormatters: MutableList<CometChatTextFormatter> = ArrayList()
textFormatters.add(mentionFormatter)
messageList.setTextFormatters(textFormatters)

val mentionFormatter = CometChatMentionsFormatter(context)

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    textFormatters = listOf(mentionFormatter)
)

Bubble Factory

CometChatMessageList uses a factory-based pattern to render message content. Each message type (text, image, video, etc.) has a corresponding BubbleFactory that creates and binds the bubble view. You can replace existing factories or register new ones for custom message types.

How It Works

When a message is displayed, the list resolves a factory key from the message’s category and type (e.g., message_text, custom_location). If a matching BubbleFactory is registered, it handles view creation and binding. Otherwise, the built-in InternalContentRenderer handles default rendering. A BubbleFactory has two lifecycle phases:

create*View(context) — called once when the ViewHolder is created. The message object is not available at this point.
bind*View(view, message, alignment, ...) — called every time a message is displayed. This is where you populate the view with message data.

Replacing an Existing Bubble Factory

Override how a built-in message type renders by registering a factory with the same category and type:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

class CustomTextBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory() {

    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_MESSAGE
    override fun getType(): String = CometChatConstants.MESSAGE_TYPE_TEXT

    override fun createContentView(context: Context): View {
        return TextView(context).apply {
            setPadding(24, 16, 24, 16)
        }
    }

    override fun bindContentView(
        view: View,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment,
        holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder?,
        position: Int
    ) {
        (view as TextView).text = (message as? TextMessage)?.text ?: ""
    }
}

// Replace the default text bubble
messageList.setBubbleFactories(listOf(CustomTextBubbleFactory()))

class CustomTextBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory {

    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_MESSAGE
    override fun getType(): String = CometChatConstants.MESSAGE_TYPE_TEXT

    override fun getContentView(
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment,
        style: CometChatMessageBubbleStyle,
        textFormatters: List<CometChatTextFormatter>
    ): @Composable () -> Unit = {
        Text(
            text = (message as? TextMessage)?.text ?: "",
            modifier = Modifier.padding(horizontal = 24.dp, vertical = 16.dp)
        )
    }
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    bubbleFactories = listOf(CustomTextBubbleFactory())
)

Adding a New Bubble Factory for Custom Messages

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

class LocationBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory() {

    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_CUSTOM
    override fun getType(): String = "location"

    override fun createContentView(context: Context): View {
        return LayoutInflater.from(context)
            .inflate(R.layout.bubble_location, null)
    }

    override fun bindContentView(
        view: View,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment,
        holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder?,
        position: Int
    ) {
        val customMessage = message as? CustomMessage ?: return
        val lat = customMessage.customData?.optDouble("latitude") ?: 0.0
        val lng = customMessage.customData?.optDouble("longitude") ?: 0.0
        view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tv_coordinates).text = "$lat, $lng"
    }
}

messageList.setBubbleFactories(listOf(LocationBubbleFactory()))

class LocationBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory {

    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_CUSTOM
    override fun getType(): String = "location"

    override fun getContentView(
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment,
        style: CometChatMessageBubbleStyle,
        textFormatters: List<CometChatTextFormatter>
    ): @Composable () -> Unit = {
        val customMessage = message as? CustomMessage
        val lat = customMessage?.customData?.optDouble("latitude") ?: 0.0
        val lng = customMessage?.customData?.optDouble("longitude") ?: 0.0
        Text(text = "$lat, $lng")
    }
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    bubbleFactories = listOf(LocationBubbleFactory())
)

Replacing the Entire Bubble

Override getBubbleView to replace the entire message bubble (including all slots like header, footer, avatar) instead of just the content area:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

class FullCustomBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory() {

    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_CUSTOM
    override fun getType(): String = "meeting"

    override fun createBubbleView(context: Context): View {
        return LayoutInflater.from(context)
            .inflate(R.layout.bubble_meeting_full, null)
    }

    override fun bindBubbleView(
        view: View,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment,
        holder: RecyclerView.ViewHolder?,
        position: Int
    ) {
        val customMessage = message as? CustomMessage ?: return
        view.findViewById<TextView>(R.id.tv_meeting_title).text =
            customMessage.customData?.optString("title") ?: "Meeting"
    }
}

messageList.setBubbleFactories(listOf(FullCustomBubbleFactory()))

class FullCustomBubbleFactory : BubbleFactory {

    override fun getCategory(): String = CometChatConstants.CATEGORY_CUSTOM
    override fun getType(): String = "meeting"

    override fun getBubbleView(
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment
    ): (@Composable () -> Unit)? = {
        val customMessage = message as? CustomMessage
        val title = customMessage?.customData?.optString("title") ?: "Meeting"
        Text(text = title)
    }
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    bubbleFactories = listOf(FullCustomBubbleFactory())
)

Bubble Slot Reference

Each BubbleFactory can override individual slots within the bubble:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

Slot	Create Method	Bind Method	Description
Bubble (full)	`createBubbleView()`	`bindBubbleView()`	Replaces the entire bubble. When non-null, all other slots are ignored.
Content	`createContentView()`	`bindContentView()`	Main message content (required).
Leading	`createLeadingView()`	`bindLeadingView()`	Avatar area on the left side.
Header	`createHeaderView()`	`bindHeaderView()`	Sender name and timestamp.
Reply	`createReplyView()`	`bindReplyView()`	Quoted/reply-to message preview.
Bottom	`createBottomView()`	`bindBottomView()`	Below content (e.g., moderation).
Status Info	`createStatusInfoView()`	`bindStatusInfoView()`	Timestamp and read receipts.
Thread	`createThreadView()`	`bindThreadView()`	Threaded replies indicator.
Footer	`createFooterView()`	`bindFooterView()`	Reactions and additional footer content.

Slot	Method	Description
Bubble (full)	`getBubbleView()`	Replaces the entire bubble. When non-null, all other slots are ignored.
Content	`getContentView()`	Main message content (required).
Leading	`getLeadingView()`	Avatar area on the left side.
Header	`getHeaderView()`	Sender name and timestamp.
Reply	`getReplyView()`	Quoted/reply-to message preview.
Bottom	`getBottomView()`	Below content (e.g., moderation).
Status Info	`getStatusInfoView()`	Timestamp and read receipts.
Thread	`getThreadView()`	Threaded replies indicator.
Footer	`getFooterView()`	Reactions and additional footer content.

Bubble Slot View Providers

While BubbleFactory customizes rendering per message type, slot view providers let you override a specific slot across all message types. This is useful when you want consistent customization (e.g., always show a custom avatar or always add a custom footer) regardless of the message type.

Slot view providers take priority over BubbleFactory slot methods. If both are set, the provider wins.

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

Use BubbleViewProvider — an interface with createView() (called once per ViewHolder) and bindView() (called each time a message binds):

// Custom leading view (avatar) for all messages
messageList.setLeadingViewProvider(object : BubbleViewProvider {
    override fun createView(
        context: Context,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment
    ): View? {
        return if (alignment == UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment.LEFT) {
            CometChatAvatar(context)
        } else null
    }

    override fun bindView(
        view: View,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment
    ) {
        (view as? CometChatAvatar)?.setUser(message.sender)
    }
})

// Custom status info view for all messages
messageList.setStatusInfoViewProvider(object : BubbleViewProvider {
    override fun createView(
        context: Context,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment
    ): View? {
        return TextView(context).apply { textSize = 10f }
    }

    override fun bindView(
        view: View,
        message: BaseMessage,
        alignment: UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment
    ) {
        (view as? TextView)?.text = formatTimestamp(message.sentAt)
    }
})

Available provider setters:

Method	Slot
`setLeadingViewProvider()`	Avatar area
`setHeaderViewProvider()`	Sender name / timestamp
`setReplyViewProvider()`	Reply-to preview
`setContentViewProvider()`	Main content (overrides all factories)
`setBottomViewProvider()`	Below content (moderation)
`setStatusInfoViewProvider()`	Timestamp / receipts
`setThreadViewProvider()`	Thread replies indicator
`setFooterViewProvider()`	Reactions / footer

Pass composable lambdas that receive the message and its alignment:

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    leadingView = { message, alignment ->
        if (alignment == UIKitConstants.MessageBubbleAlignment.LEFT) {
            CometChatAvatar(user = message.sender)
        }
    },
    statusInfoView = { message, alignment ->
        Text(
            text = formatTimestamp(message.sentAt),
            style = CometChatTheme.typography.caption1Regular
        )
    },
    footerView = { message, alignment ->
        // Custom reactions display
        MessageReactions(message = message)
    }
)

Available slot parameters:

Parameter	Type	Slot
`leadingView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Avatar area
`headerView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Sender name / timestamp
`replyView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Reply-to preview
`contentView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Main content (overrides all factories)
`bottomView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Below content (moderation)
`statusInfoView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Timestamp / receipts
`threadView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Thread replies indicator
`footerView`	`@Composable (BaseMessage, MessageAlignment) -> Unit`	Reactions / footer

Message Options

Message options are the contextual actions shown when a user long-presses a message bubble (e.g., Reply, Copy, Edit, Delete). You can control their visibility, replace the entire options list, or append custom options.

Toggling Default Option Visibility

Each built-in option has a visibility setter. Pass View.VISIBLE or View.GONE:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

// Hide specific options
messageList.setDeleteMessageOptionVisibility(View.GONE)
messageList.setEditMessageOptionVisibility(View.GONE)
messageList.setTranslateMessageOptionVisibility(View.GONE)

// Show an option that's hidden by default
messageList.setMarkAsUnreadOptionVisibility(View.VISIBLE)

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    hideDeleteOption = true,
    hideEditOption = true,
    hideTranslateOption = true,
    showMarkAsUnreadOption = true
)

Available visibility methods (Kotlin XML):

Method	Default	Description
`setReplyInThreadOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Reply in thread
`setReplyOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Reply to message
`setCopyMessageOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Copy message text
`setEditMessageOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Edit sent message
`setDeleteMessageOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Delete message
`setMessageReactionOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Add reaction
`setMessageInfoOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	View message info
`setTranslateMessageOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Translate message
`setShareMessageOptionVisibility()`	`VISIBLE`	Share message
`setMarkAsUnreadOptionVisibility()`	`GONE`	Mark as unread

Replacing All Options (`setOptions`)

Use setOptions to completely replace the default options for a message. Return a list to override, or null to fall back to defaults:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setOptions { message ->
    listOf(
        CometChatMessageOption(
            id = "custom_pin",
            title = "Pin Message",
            icon = R.drawable.ic_pin,
            onClick = { pinMessage(message) }
        ),
        CometChatMessageOption(
            id = UIKitConstants.MessageOption.COPY,
            title = context.getString(R.string.cometchat_copy),
            icon = R.drawable.cometchat_ic_copy,
            onClick = { copyMessage(message) }
        )
    )
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    options = { message ->
        listOf(
            CometChatMessageOption(
                id = "custom_pin",
                title = "Pin Message",
                icon = R.drawable.ic_pin,
                onClick = { pinMessage(message) }
            ),
            CometChatMessageOption(
                id = UIKitConstants.MessageOption.COPY,
                title = context.getString(R.string.cometchat_copy),
                icon = R.drawable.cometchat_ic_copy,
                onClick = { copyMessage(message) }
            )
        )
    }
)

When setOptions returns a non-null list, addOptions is not invoked.

Appending Custom Options (`addOptions`)

Use addOptions to append additional options after the default ones. This is invoked only when setOptions is not set or returns null:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.addOptions { message ->
    listOf(
        CometChatMessageOption(
            id = "custom_bookmark",
            title = "Bookmark",
            icon = R.drawable.ic_bookmark,
            onClick = { bookmarkMessage(message) }
        ),
        CometChatMessageOption(
            id = "custom_remind",
            title = "Remind Me",
            icon = R.drawable.ic_alarm,
            onClick = { setReminder(message) }
        )
    )
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    addOptions = { message ->
        listOf(
            CometChatMessageOption(
                id = "custom_bookmark",
                title = "Bookmark",
                icon = R.drawable.ic_bookmark,
                onClick = { bookmarkMessage(message) }
            ),
            CometChatMessageOption(
                id = "custom_remind",
                title = "Remind Me",
                icon = R.drawable.ic_alarm,
                onClick = { setReminder(message) }
            )
        )
    }
)

Conditional Options Per Message

Both setOptions and addOptions receive the BaseMessage, so you can return different options based on message type, sender, or any other condition:

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setOptions { message ->
    when {
        // Custom options for your own messages
        message.sender?.uid == CometChat.getLoggedInUser()?.uid -> listOf(
            CometChatMessageOption(id = "edit", title = "Edit", icon = R.drawable.cometchat_ic_edit),
            CometChatMessageOption(id = "delete", title = "Delete", icon = R.drawable.cometchat_ic_delete)
        )
        // Default options for others' messages
        else -> null
    }
}

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    options = { message ->
        when {
            message.sender?.uid == CometChat.getLoggedInUser()?.uid -> listOf(
                CometChatMessageOption(id = "edit", title = "Edit", icon = R.drawable.cometchat_ic_edit),
                CometChatMessageOption(id = "delete", title = "Delete", icon = R.drawable.cometchat_ic_delete)
            )
            else -> null // fall back to defaults
        }
    }
)

CometChatMessageOption Reference

Property	Type	Description
`id`	`String`	Unique identifier (use `UIKitConstants.MessageOption.*` for built-in IDs).
`title`	`String`	Display text for the option.
`titleColor`	`@ColorInt Int`	Text color (0 for default).
`icon`	`@DrawableRes Int`	Drawable resource for the option icon.
`iconTintColor`	`@ColorInt Int`	Icon tint color (0 for default).
`titleAppearance`	`@StyleRes Int`	Text appearance style resource.
`backgroundColor`	`@ColorInt Int`	Background color for the option row.
`onClick`	`(() -> Unit)?`	Callback invoked when the option is tapped.

Style

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

Define a custom style in themes.xml:

themes.xml

<style name="CustomMessageListStyle" parent="CometChatMessageListStyle">
    <item name="cometchatMessageListBackgroundColor">#F5F5F5</item>
</style>

<style name="AppTheme" parent="CometChatTheme.DayNight">
    <item name="cometchatMessageListStyle">@style/CustomMessageListStyle</item>
</style>

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    style = CometChatMessageListStyle.default().copy(
        backgroundColor = Color(0xFFF5F5F5)
    )
)

See Component Styling for the full reference.

ViewModel

val viewModel = ViewModelProvider(this)
    .get(CometChatMessageListViewModel::class.java)

Kotlin (XML Views)
Jetpack Compose

messageList.setViewModel(viewModel)

CometChatMessageList(
    user = user,
    messageListViewModel = viewModel
