Delete Conversation

IMKit provides a default operation menu popup with delete functionality in the conversation long-press event.

If the existing implementation doesn't meet your requirements, you can use the delete conversation API provided by IMCenter:

Delete Specified Conversation

Removes a conversation item from the conversation list without deleting its historical messages. This method automatically triggers a refresh of the conversation list page.

Interface

IMCenter.getInstance().removeConversation(conversationType, targetId, callbalk);

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
conversationType	ConversationType	Conversation type
targetId	String	Conversation ID
callback	ResultCallback<Boolean>	Callback interface

Sample Code

ConversationType conversationType = ConversationType.PRIVATE;
String targetId = "conversation ID";

IMCenter.getInstance().removeConversation(conversationType, targetId, new  ResultCallback<Boolean>() {

    @Override
    public void onSuccess(Boolean success) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onError(RongIMClient.ErrorCode errorCode) {

    }
});

tip

This method only removes the conversation item from the list without deleting historical message data. When new messages arrive for this conversation, the system will automatically recreate the conversation list item. To permanently delete conversation data, you must simultaneously call the message deletion API to clear both local and server-side message records. For details, see Delete Messages.

Delete Conversations by Type

Deletes all conversations of specified types from the local database, including their messages. IMKit doesn't provide a "clear all conversations" method—you can achieve this by passing all types you want to delete. This method automatically triggers a refresh of the conversation list page.

Conversation.ConversationType[] mConversationTypes = {
            Conversation.ConversationType.PRIVATE,
            Conversation.ConversationType.GROUP
};

IMCenter.getInstance().clearConversations(new RongIMClient.ResultCallback() {

    @Override
    public void onSuccess(Object object) {

    }

    @Override
    public void onError(RongIMClient.ErrorCode errorCode) {

    }
}, mConversationTypes);

Parameter	Type	Description
callback	ResultCallback	Callback for operation success
conversationTypes	ConversationType...	List of conversation types to clear
