ChatRoom

public class ChatRoom : LinphoneObject

A chat room is the place where ChatMessage are exchanged. To create (or find) a ChatRoom, you first need a ChatRoomParams object. A chat room is uniquely identified by it’s local and remote SIP addresses, meaning you can only have one chat room between two accounts (unless the backend is FlexisipChat). Then you can call Core.searchChatRoom() or Core.createChatRoom(). Be careful as a FlexisipChat backend ChatRoom will be created asynchronously, so make sure you add a LinphoneChatRoomCbs to the returned object to be notified when it will be in state Created. All chat rooms are loaded from database when the Core starts, and you can get them using Core.getChatRooms(). This method doesn’t return empty chat rooms nor ones for which the local address doesn’t match an existing ProxyConfig identity, unless you specify otherwise in the [misc] section of your configuration file by setting hide_empty_chat_rooms=0 and/or hide_chat_rooms_from_removed_proxies=0.
