How to update message status in ChatList using Quick blox sample?

Question

I'm using Quick blox and I downloaded Sample app (https://github.com/QuickBlox/quickblox-ios-sdk/tree/master/sample-chat) which uses QMChatViewController, QMServices.

I am using MessageStatusStringBuilder class methods in ChatViewController to get the status (read/delivered/sent) of message (here this message is not a string it is an instance of QBChatMessage) in ChatViewController so that I'm showing the message status when ever QMChatServiceDelegate calls backs were called.

I have a requirement to show the status(read/delivered/sent) of last message in DialogsViewController under each dialog also. But in DialogsViewController lastTextMessage is a string but not a QBChatMessage instance.

How to update this message status?

One plus point is I will get callbacks from this QMChatServiceDelegate in DialogsViewController also, even I can't find the status of message from that.

So how to handle this?

First you should get the message with the extended request using date_send as key and dialog's lastMessageDate as value. Then using the instance of the MessageStatusStringBuilder class you can get the status of the last message.

 QBChatDialog *dialog = ... // your dialog

 QBResponsePage *resPage = [QBResponsePage responsePageWithLimit:1 skip:0];

 NSMutableDictionary *extendedRequest = @{@"date_sent" : [NSString stringWithFormat:@"%tu", (NSUInteger)[dialog.lastMessageDate timeIntervalSince1970]]}.mutableCopy;

 [QBRequest messagesWithDialogID:dialog.ID extendedRequest:extendedRequest forPage:resPage successBlock:^(QBResponse *response, NSArray *messages, QBResponsePage *responcePage) {

                                 NSLog(@"status = %@",[self.stringBuilder statusFromMessage:[messages firstObject]]);

  } errorBlock:^(QBResponse *response) {

                                 NSLog(@"error: %@", response.error);

  }];
