Reject a group application

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

Group owners and administrators can reject a user's application to join a group. To reject the request, specify the target group ID, the applicant's user ID, and an optional rejection reason.

Code example

String groupID = "group_123";
String applicantUserID = "user_applicant";
String handleMsg = "The group has reached its maximum member capacity.";

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

        @Override
        public void onError(int code, String error) {
            // Failed to reject 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 rejection reason or explanation. 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 rejection and updated the application record.
Asynchronous event delivery: The SDK triggers the onGroupApplicationRejected event on affected clients, delivering the updated GroupApplicationInfo. The client should merge or update the application record using groupID:userID as the unique key.
Re-query calibration: If application state or counts diverge after network reconnections, call getGroupApplicationListAsRecipient() to reconcile local records with the server.
