Bug when retrieving IMMessage Jid on Android Rainbow Messaging SDK

I am trying to use the Rainbow Messaging SDK.

I successfully initialize, start, login and retrieve conversation.

But each message in the conversation has a weird behavior :

- when i first retrieves all the « IMMessage » I have different imJabberId (jid) and I can know which message came from which contact

- the 2nd time I initialize, start, login and retrieve conversation after few hours, all my messages have the same imJabberId (jid)

 

Is there an another way to know which contact the message came from ?

Is it a bug or a misunderstanding of how the SDK works ?

  Hi, sorry for the time to answer !

  When you chat (sent and recieve IMMessage directly), messages sent by you have your Jid and messages recieves from the other contact have the Jid of the contact. When you retrieve IMMessage of a conversation from history (mam), all IMMessage have the Jid of the contact associated with the Conversation.

  You can retrieve if the IMMessage is from you with "imMessage.isMsgSent()"

  Maybe in the future we will update this behavior to always have the right Jid.

  Hello, I had the same problem and I was able to solve it in android using the method "imMessage.isMsgSent()", however I am also doing the same development on iOS and I have encountered the same problem, but in this case the "message" object does not have a "isMsgSent method.

  How could I fix it with the iOS SDK?

  Hi @Juan Antonio Garcia,

  On Android I have found a way to know if the message is from the account you are currently connected with, or from the other person you talk with in the conversation.
  When you retrieve the array of IMMessage, each IMMessage has a deliveryState "immessage.deliveryState" :

  public static enum DeliveryState {
  
  // message from the account you are currently connected with 
      SENT,
      TO_RESENT,
      SENT_SERVER_RECEIVED,
      SENT_CLIENT_RECEIVED,
      SENT_CLIENT_READ,

  // message from the other person you talk with in the conversation
      RECEIVED,
      READ,
  
  // unknown
      UNKNOWN;
  }
