Fetch Post Likes

The Fetch Post Likes feature in the Android Feed SDK allows users to retrieve information about the number of likes received by a specific post. By utilizing this functionality, developers can display the total number of likes on a post and provide users with social validation and engagement metrics.

Steps to fetch likes on a post

1. Create a GetPostLikesRequest object using GetPostLikesRequest.Builder class by passing all the required parameters.
2. Call getPostLikes() function using the instance of LMFeedClient.
3. Process the response (LMResponse<GetPostLikesResponse>) as per your requirement.

CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.IO).launch {
    // object of GetPostLikesRequest
    val getPostLikesRequest = GetPostLikesRequest.Builder()
                        .postId("ENTER POST ID") // id of the post whose likes are fetched
                        .page(1) // page number for paginated data
                        .pageSize(10) // page size for paginated data
                        .build()
    // get response (LMResponse<GetPostLikesResponse>)
    val response = LMFeedClient.getInstance().getPostLikes(getPostLikesRequest)
    if (response.success) {
        // your function to process the response data
        processGetPostLikesResponse(response.data)
    } else {
        // your function to process error message
        processError(response.errorMessage)
    }
}
