Generate a conversation ID

Compute a conversation ID locally from the chat target and session type.

Compute a conversationID synchronously on the client from the target ID and session type without executing network queries.

Code example

String conversationID = OpenIMClient.getInstance().conversationManager
    .getConversationIDBySessionType(
        sourceId,
        ConversationType.SINGLE_CHAT
    );

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`sourceId`	`String`	Yes	Target identifier. Pass the peer `userID` for direct chats or the `groupID` for group chats.
`sessionType`	`int`	Yes	Conversation type: `ConversationType.SINGLE_CHAT` for direct chats; `ConversationType.GROUP_CHAT` or `ConversationType.SUPER_GROUP_CHAT` for group chats.

Return value
