Mesibo Group Management - Creating a Group
Estimated reading time: 4 minutesYou can create a new group by calling createGroup API. It will send a request to the server to create a new group. When a group is created, Mesibo_onGroupCreated callback function in the listener will be called with the group profile. You can then add members to the group using group profile APIs. Note that, you will be already added as the owner and the member of the group and hence you should not add yourself again.
boolean createGroup(MesiboGroupSettings settings, GroupListener listener)
boolean createGroup(String name, long flags, GroupListener listener)
createGroup takes the following parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| settings | Group settings object |
| name | Name of the group |
| flags | Group flags, you can pass 0 unless you have specific requirements as mentioned below |
| listener | listener which will be called when group is created (explained later). Note that, if you are using Javascript, you can pass listener or a callback function. For all other platforms, it is the listener. |

| callDuration | Maximum call duration, default 0 for no restrictions on the call duration |

In Java,
MesiboGroupProfile.GroupSettings settings = new MesiboGroupProfile.GroupSettings();
settings.name = "My Group";
settings.flags = 0;
Mesibo.createGroup(settings, this);
In Kotlin
var settings:MesiboGroupProfile.GroupSettings = MesiboGroupProfile.GroupSettings()
settings.name = "My Group"
settings.flags = 0
Mesibo.createGroup(settings, this)
In Objective-C,
MesiboGroupSettings *settings = [MesiboGroupSettings new];
settings.name = @"My Group";
settings.flags = 0;
[MesiboInstance createGroup:settings listener:self];
In Swift,
let settings:MesiboGroupSettings = MesiboGroupSettings();
settings.name = "My Group";
settings.flags = 0;
Mesibo.getInstance().createGroup(settings, listener: self)
In Javascript
var settings = {};
settings.name = "My Group";
