Flutter Chat SDK for messaging app

Question

I'm using a Flutter Chat SDK, but message delivery is sometimes delayed, especially in poor network conditions. How can I improve reliability and ensure a smoother experience?

Hi Allison William,

We have analyzed your query, and currently, the SfChat widget will display messages in the conversation UI using the provided message list. However, if there is a delay in receiving or adding a message to the list due to network issues, the UI will only reflect the message once it has been successfully added to the message list.

However, the SfChat widget does not have built-in support for a typing indicator or a load more indicator to handle message delays caused by network issues. Kindly ensure the proper network connection at your end.

Please let us know if you need any further assistance.

Regards,

Mugunthan.

Hi Allison William, We have analyzed
your query and created a sample that displays a loading indicator within the chat
UI in the meantime of network delay. In this sample, we used a FutureBuilder
to update the messages in the UI after a few seconds, until then, the loading
indicator is rendered using the placeholder
widget. This approach is helpful in cases when there is network issues or
delays in fetching chat data.  Additionally, we
have included a loading indicator that appears within the chat message area
when a message get receiving from an API call and it get delay due to network
issue. This will help to display the message loading indicator, when the
message takes time to add in the conversation area. This provides visual
feedback to the user that message is being receiving.  We have shared the
sample for your reference, and you can customize it further based on your
specific requirements. If you are still facing any issues, please replicate the
problem in the provided sample and share additional details about the exact
scenario where the issue occurs. This will help us assist you more effectively.  Demo:     Regards,Mugunthan.Attachment: fr_196086_6f3f0cf3.zip

Hi, you can try to improve message delivery with MirrorFly's Flutter Chat SDK, enable offline messaging and message queuing, implement connection listeners to detect network changes, and ensure retry mechanisms are active for failed messages. Also, keep your SDK updated and optimize server setups if you're self-hosting.

I receive a lengthy line from the beginning of the axis to the beginning of the spline area series since the spline area chart and the data have a few empty points at the beginning, which does not occur.
