How to customize the community module for the ASAP Android SDK?
User Community is the module through which end-users can access discussion forums and interact with other users to share knowledge. These methods help you display the Community module and all associated content on the ASAP help widget.
Custom-configuring Community actions
The following method helps you define users' actions when accessing the community through the ASAP help widget:
For example, to hide the topic reply option, we can use the code snippet below.
- ZDPCommunityConfiguration configuration = new
- ZDPCommunityConfiguration.Builder()
- .isReplyAllowed(true).build();
- ZDPortalCommunity.setConfiguration(configuration);
Refer to the table below for all the community module configurations:
Method name | Method description | Default status |
isReplyAllowed | To hide the reply submitting option in the topic comments screen. | Enabled |
isReplyEditAllowed | To hide the reply edit option in the topic comments screen. | Enabled |
isReplyDeleteAllowed | To hide the reply deletion option in the topic comments screen. | Enabled |
