Accept a group application

Use the Android SDK to accept a user’s application to join a group.

Group owners and administrators can accept an applicant's request to join a group. To process the request, provide the target group ID, the applicant's user ID, and an optional processing note.

Code example

String groupID = "group_123";
String applicantUserID = "user_applicant";
String handleMsg = "Welcome to the group";

OpenIMClient.getInstance().groupManager.acceptGroupApplication(
    new OnBase<String>() {
        @Override
        public void onSuccess(String data) {
            // Group application accepted successfully
        }

        @Override
        public void onError(int code, String error) {
            // Failed to accept group application
        }
    },
    groupID,
    applicantUserID,
    handleMsg
);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Required	Description
`base`	`OnBase<String>`	Yes	Callback handler for the asynchronous request.
`groupID`	`String`	Yes	Globally unique ID of the target group.
`applicantUserID`	`String`	Yes	User ID of the applicant requesting to join.
`handleMsg`	`String`	No	Optional note or explanation for accepting the request. Pass an empty string if not needed.

Return value

Upon success, data in onSuccess returns a confirmation message.

State changes after the call

Callback confirmation: The onSuccess callback indicates that the server has processed the approval and updated the application state.
Asynchronous event delivery: The SDK triggers synchronization events across affected clients:
onGroupApplicationAccepted: Delivers the updated GroupApplicationInfo. The client should merge or update the application record using groupID:userID as the unique key.
onGroupMemberAdded: Delivers the new GroupMembersInfo object. The client should add the applicant to the local group member cache using groupID:userID as the unique key.
Re-query calibration: If application state or member list counts diverge after intermittent network conditions, call getJoinedGroupListPage(), getGroupMemberList(), or getGroupApplicationListAsRecipient() to reconcile local state with the server.
