PubNub Java and Kotlin-based SDKs for Android

This is the official PubNub Kotlin SDK repository.

PubNub takes care of the infrastructure and APIs needed for the realtime communication layer of your application. Work on your app's logic and let PubNub handle sending and receiving data across the world in less than 100ms.

Get keys

You will need the publish and subscribe keys to authenticate your app. Get your keys from the Admin Portal.

Configure PubNub

Integrate the Kotlin SDK into your project:

for Maven, add the following dependency in your pom.xml:

<dependency>
   <groupId>com.pubnub</groupId>
   <artifactId>pubnub-kotlin</artifactId>
   <version>10.0.0</version>
</dependency>

for Gradle, add the following dependency in your gradle.build:
```
implementation ("com.pubnub:pubnub-kotlin:10.0.0")
```

Configure your keys and create PubNub instance:

val config = PNConfiguration.builder(UserId("myUserId"), "mySubKey") {
    publishKey = "myPubKey"
}
val pubnub = PubNub.create(config.build())

Add event listeners

pubnub.addListener(object : SubscribeCallback() {

    override fun status(pubnub: PubNub, status: PNStatus) {
        println("Status category: ${status.category}")
        // PNConnectedCategory, PNReconnectedCategory, PNDisconnectedCategory

        println("Status operation: ${status.operation}")
        // PNSubscribeOperation, PNHeartbeatOperation

        println("Status error: ${status.error}")
        // true or false
    }

    override fun presence(pubnub: PubNub, pnPresenceEventResult: PNPresenceEventResult) {
        println("Presence event: ${pnPresenceEventResult.event}")
        println("Presence channel: ${pnPresenceEventResult.channel}")
        println("Presence uuid: ${pnPresenceEventResult.uuid}")
        println("Presence timetoken: ${pnPresenceEventResult.timetoken}")
        println("Presence occupancy: ${pnPresenceEventResult.occupancy}")
    }

    override fun message(pubnub: PubNub, pnMessageResult: PNMessageResult) {
        println("Message payload: ${pnMessageResult.message}")
        println("Message channel: ${pnMessageResult.channel}")
        println("Message publisher: ${pnMessageResult.publisher}")
        println("Message timetoken: ${pnMessageResult.timetoken}")
    }

    override fun signal(pubnub: PubNub, pnSignalResult: PNSignalResult) {
        println("Signal payload: ${pnSignalResult.message}")
        println("Signal channel: ${pnSignalResult.channel}")
        println("Signal publisher: ${pnSignalResult.publisher}")
        println("Signal timetoken: ${pnSignalResult.timetoken}")
    }

    override fun messageAction(pubnub: PubNub, pnMessageActionResult: PNMessageActionResult) {
        with(pnMessageActionResult.messageAction) {
            println("Message action type: $type")
            println("Message action value: $value")
            println("Message action uuid: $uuid")
            println("Message action actionTimetoken: $actionTimetoken")
            println("Message action messageTimetoken: $messageTimetoken")
        }

        println("Message action subscriptions: ${pnMessageActionResult.subscription}")
        println("Message action channel: ${pnMessageActionResult.channel}")
        println("Message action timetoken: ${pnMessageActionResult.timetoken}")
    }
})

Publish/subscribe

pubnub.publish(channel = "my_channel", message = "hello")
    .async { result -> 
    // the result is always of a nullable type
    // it's null if there were errors (status.error)
    // otherwise it's usable

    // handle publish result
    result.onSuccess { res ->
        println("Message timetoken: ${res!!.timetoken}")
    }.onFailure { exception ->
        // handle error
        exception.printStackTrace()
    }
}

pubnub.subscribe(channels = listOf("my_channel"))
