      Message Class

      In the Tencent Cloud IM SDK, the message class is V2TIimessage (Details), which will be frequently used for message sending and receiving.
      The V2TimMessage class defines the following content:
      Attribute
      Description
      Remarks
      msgID
      Message ID
      It is empty when a message is created and is returned synchronously when sendMessage is called.
      timestamp
      Message timestamp
      The time a message is sent to the server, which can be used for message sorting
      sender
      userID of the message sender
      It can be set by users and must be the same as the userID passed in during login.
      nickName
      Nickname of the message sender
      It can be set by users and modified by calling setSelfInfo. For more information, see User Profile.
      friendRemark
      Remarks of the message sender's friend
      It is used by the receiver. For example, if Alice sets Bob's remarks to bob01, when Bob sends a message to Alice, Alice will see that friendRemark in the message is bob01. It can be set by calling setFriendInfo.
      nameCard
      Group name card of the sender
      It applies only to group messages. For example, if Alice changes her group name card to doctorA and sends a message to the group, other group members will receive the message where the nameCard field is doctorA. The receiver can prioritize this field as the username for display. This field can be set by calling setGroupMemberInfo.

      It can be set by users and can be used to download the photo.

      Message Type

      IM messages can be classified by message destination into two types: one-to-one messages (also called C2C messages) and group messages.
      Message Type
      API Keyword
      Description
      One-to-one message
      C2CMessage
      It is also called the C2C message. When sending a one-to-one message, you must specify the UserID of the receiver, and only the receiver can receive this message.
      Group message
      GroupMessage
      When sending a group message, you must specify the groupID of the target group, and all users in the group can receive this message.
      IM messages can also be classified by content into text messages, custom (signaling) messages, image messages, video messages, audio messages, file messages, location messages, and merged messages.
      Message Type
      API Keyword
      Description
      Text message
      TextElem
      Ordinary text message
      Custom message
      CustomElem
      It is a section of binary buffer and often used to transfer custom signaling in your application.
      Image message
      ImageElem
      When the SDK sends an original image, it automatically generates two images in different sizes. The three images are called the original image, large image, and thumbnail.
      Video message
      VideoElem
      A video message contains a video file and a thumbnail.
      Audio message
      SoundElem
      It supports displaying a red dot before the playback of the audio message.
      File message

      A file message cannot exceed 100 MB.
      Location message
      LocationElem
      A location message contains three fields: location description, longitude, and latitude.
      Merged message
      MergerElem
      Up to 300 messages can be merged.

      Message Storage Policy

      IM messages can be classified by message storage policy into two types: online messages and non-online messages. Online messages can be received only by online users and will not be pushed when they are offline. Non-online messages can be received by users whether they are online or not.
      Online messages are delivered in real time and not stored on the server or in the SDK. Therefore, they cannot be pulled from historical messages after the device is changed or the application is uninstalled and reinstalled.
      Note:
      1. All messages in an audio-video group are online messages.
      2. Messages pushed to all users are online messages.
      Non-online messages are stored in the SDK and on the server. By default, they are stored on the roaming server for seven days. If you want a longer storage period, you need to purchase the value-added service. For more information on the service content and billing, see Pricing.
      These messages can be pulled from historical messages after the device is changed or the application is uninstalled and reinstalled.
