Interface RequestProvider


  • public interface RequestProvider

    A provider which will offer a higher level of abstraction compared to the RequestService
    You can create an instance of RequestProvider like this: 

          import zendesk.support.RequestProvider;
      import zendesk.support.Support;
      ...
      RequestProvider provider = Support.INSTANCE.provider().requestProvider();
      ...

    Once you have an instance of the provider you can call methods on it and handle the results in callbacks. A success callback will give you the resource(s) that you are requesting, like requests, comments, and so on. The error callback will be called if there was some issue with the method call and it will define details about the error in an ErrorResponse

    For example you can list all your requests like this: 
       provider.getAllRequests(new ZendeskCallback <List&lt;Request>>() {
        @Override
       public void onSuccess(List<Request> requests) {
           // Handle success
       }

        @Override
       public void onError(ErrorResponse errorResponse) {
           // Handle error
       }
  });

      • getUpdatesForDevice

        void getUpdatesForDevice(<any> callback)
        Gets the details of any updates to requests for this device. RequestUpdates are cached for up to one hour. Subsequent calls to this method within the hour will return the same object without querying the network. Calling this method once the hour has expired will query the network again, and cache the new results for the next hour. If using the Zendesk UI, viewing a request will update the stored RequestUpdates to remove the viewed request. If using the API providers only, a request can be removed from the stored RequestUpdates by calling RequestProvider.markRequestAsRead(String, int) with the request ID. It is important to note the difference in behaviour of this method users using AnonymousIdentity versus users using JwtIdentity. For an AnonymousIdentity, this method will only fetch updates for requests which were created from this device (since those are all an Anonymous user has access to). However, a JwtIdentity will fetch all of the users open requests, regardless of where they were created. Any request created on another channel is unknown to this instance of the Support SDK, and as such it will show in the resulting RequestUpdates with all of its comments counting as updates.
        Parameters:
        callback - Callback that will deliver the number of request updates or ErrorResponse

      • markRequestAsRead

        void markRequestAsRead(java.lang.String requestId,
                       int commentCount)
        Marks a request as read on this device.
        Parameters:
        requestId - the ID of the request to mark as read
        commentCount - the number of comments on this request that have been read
        See Also:

      • markRequestAsUnread

        void markRequestAsUnread(java.lang.String requestId)
        Marks a request as unread on this device, by incrementing its total number of comments. This should be used to update a request as being "unread" after receiving a push notification for an update on that ticket, when using an SDK providers-only integration. If you are using the SDK UI module and Support.refreshRequest(String, Context) then you should not call this method. It is already being called for you, and calling it again will lead to inaccurate RequestUpdates.
        Parameters:
        requestId - the ID of the request to mark as unread
