public Builder(@NonNull ConversationItem other)

Returns a builder from the given ConversationItem.

public Builder(
    @NonNull String id,
    @NonNull CarText title,
    @NonNull Person self,
    @NonNull List<CarMessage> messages,
    @NonNull ConversationCallback conversationCallback
)

Creates a Builder instance with the provided required params.

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder addAction(@NonNull Action action)

public @NonNull ConversationItem build()

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setConversationCallback(
    @NonNull ConversationCallback conversationCallback
)

Sets a ConversationCallback for the conversation

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setGroupConversation(boolean isGroupConversation)

Specifies whether this conversation involves 3+ participants (a "group" conversation)

If unspecified, conversations are assumed to have exactly two participants (a "1:1" conversation)

UX presentation may differ slightly between group and 1:1 conversations. As a historical example, message readout may include sender names for group conversations, but omit them for 1:1 conversations.

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setIcon(@NonNull CarIcon icon)

Sets a CarIcon for the conversation

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setId(@NonNull String id)

Specifies a unique identifier for the conversation

IDs may be used for a variety of purposes, including...

• Distinguishing new ConversationItems from updated ConversationItems in the UI, when data is refreshed
• Identifying ConversationItems in "mark as read" / "reply" callbacks

@ExperimentalCarApi
public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setIndexable(boolean indexable)

Sets whether this item can be included in indexed lists. By default, this is set to true.

The host creates indexed lists to help users navigate through long lists more easily by sorting, filtering, or some other means.

For example, a messaging app may show conversations by last message received. If the app provides these conversations via the SectionedItemTemplate and enables #isAlphabeticalIndexingAllowed, the user will be able to jump to their conversations that start with a given letter they chose. The messaging app can choose to hide, for example, service messages from this filtered list by setting this #setIndexable(false).

Individual items can be set to be included or excluded from filtered lists, but it's also possible to enable/disable the creation of filtered lists as a whole via the template's API (eg. SectionedItemTemplate .Builder#setAlphabeticalIndexingAllowed(Boolean)).

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setMessages(@NonNull List<CarMessage> messages)

Specifies a list of messages for the conversation

The messages should be sorted from oldest to newest and should not contain any null values.

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setSelf(@NonNull Person self)

Sets a Person for the conversation

The Person must specify a non-null setName and setKey.

public @NonNull ConversationItem.Builder setTitle(@NonNull CarText title)

Sets the title of the conversation
