Filter All Chats Except Requests Chats

Describe the bug

Hi,

I have a scenario where we want to filter all chats except those ones in which user is invited. For this we use the following filter block in ChannelListViewModelFactory:

  ChannelListViewModelFactory(filter = Filters.and(Filters.eq("type", "messaging"),
                                                                   Filters.`in`("members", listOf(userId)),
                                                                   Filters.eq("joined",true)))

It works fine initially BUT when a message comes in a chat in which user was invited, that chat also gets shown in that list. We want to eliminate that.We also looked at CustomEventHandler to handle channel updates but couldn't find a way to make the requested chat go away from all chats list when a message comes in that chat.

I also raised a similar issue for filtering requests chats and handling updates in:

#4782

but here i require the exact opposite, meaning I only want those chats which are not invitations and also want to handle updates on any receiving events for such chats

SDK version

• 5.17.3

Expected behavior
All Chats except invited ones should be visible and on any events received, requests chats shouldn't show up in these chats

Device:

• Vendor and model: Samsung A30
• Android version: 11

Hi @muaviyaijaz123,

You van provide custom ChatEventHandler and just ignore the event by returning EventHandlingResult.Skip.

However, you need to think of the data on which you base the decision of whether or not to return EventHandlingResult.Skip. For instance, you could check Channel.membership, and if it’s null, skip the event.
