Getting user information

Through the WireApplicationManager you can retrieve user information based on their QualifiedId.

UserResponse

The getUser method returns a UserResponse object containing:

• id — The user's QualifiedId
• name — The user's display name
• handle — The user's unique handle (username)
• email — The user's email address (if available)
• teamId — The UUID of the team the user belongs to (if any)
• accentId — The user's accent color ID
• supportedProtocols — List of cryptographic protocols supported by the user
• deleted — Whether the user has been deleted

Use Case: Get a user's display name and handle

Kotlin

val applicationManager = wireAppSdk.getApplicationManager()

val userId = QualifiedId(
    id = UUID.fromString("user-id"),
    domain = "user-domain.com"
)

val user: UserResponse = applicationManager.getUserSuspending(userId)

println("Display name: ${user.name}")
println("Handle: @${user.handle}")

Java

WireApplicationManager applicationManager = wireAppSdk.getApplicationManager();

QualifiedId userId = new QualifiedId(
        UUID.fromString("user-id"),
        "user-domain.com"
);

UserResponse user = applicationManager.getUser(userId);

System.out.println("Display name: " + user.name());
System.out.println("Handle: @" + user.handle());

Use Case: Get user info from a received message

When you receive a message, you can use the sender's QualifiedId to fetch their information:

Kotlin

override suspend fun onTextMessageSuspending(message: WireMessage.Text) {
    val senderInfo = manager.getUserSuspending(message.sender)
    println("Message from ${senderInfo.name}: ${message.text}")
}

Java

@Override
public void onTextMessageReceived(WireMessage.Text message) {
    UserResponse senderInfo = manager.getUser(message.sender());
    System.out.println("Message from " + senderInfo.name() + ": " + message.text());
}
