Usage Example

In this example, we're customizing the following elements of the create post screen:

• Header View Appearance: Change the title.
• Click Listeners: Override behavior for attach image click.

Steps to customize

Step 1: Create CustomCreatePostFragment

Start by extending LMFeedCreatePostFragment and create a custom class, say CustomCreatePostFragment.

class CustomCreatePostFragment : LMFeedCreatePostFragment() {
    // We will override methods in the next step
}

Step 2: Override and Customize Methods

You can customize various aspects of the create post screen by overriding specific functions.

note

If you're providing your own custom layout or binding, you must override all lifecycle functions, especially:

• onCreateView
• onViewCreated
• onResume
• onPause
• onDestroyView

class CustomCreatePostFragment : LMFeedCreatePostFragment() {

  override fun customizeCreatePostHeaderView(headerViewCreatePost: LMFeedHeaderView) {
    super.customizeCreatePostHeaderView(headerViewCreatePost)

    headerViewCreatePost.setTitleText("Custom Title")
  }

  override fun onAttachImageClicked() {
    super.onAttachImageClicked()

    // Write your logic
  }
}

Step 3: Pass CustomCreatePostFragment for Navigation

You now need to ensure that your fragment is returned wherever the create post screen is launched.

val application = this
val theme = LMFeedTheme.SOCIAL_FEED
val enablePushNotifications = false
val deviceId = null
val domain = "ENTER YOUR DOMAIN HERE"
val lmFeedCoreCallback = null

LMFeedCore.setup(
    application = application,
    theme,
    enablePushNotifications = enablePushNotifications,
    deviceId = deviceId,
    domain = domain,
    lmFeedCoreCallback = lmFeedCoreCallback
)

// Set your custom create post fragment here
LMFeedCore.setCreatePostFragment(CustomCreatePostFragment())
