How to get room information of friends ?

[hoangdoanh]

Hi all

I want to get information of the rooms in that friends of some user are playing.

In ios library we can get buddyList by code :

Code: Select all

     NSArray *   buddyList   =   [smartFox.buddyManager buddyList];

From buddyList, we can get buddy :

Code: Select all

SFSBuddy    *   buddy=[buddyList objectAtIndex:i];

But from buddy I can't found API to find information of room in that this buddy(user) are playing.

Could you please advice me on this !

Kind regards,
Doanh

You will need some server code to obtain that information.
You can add an extension command that given a User's name finds the Room(s) where the user is active and sends you back the information you need.

Thanks Lapo !

Could you please help me to understant 2 points :

1.How on server : from User we can get his buddy list ?

2.Why on client-side, there is not some method to do that without writing extension part ? Is there any security reason ?

Kind regards,

Each Zone has its own buddy list manager... so you just need the name of the User to access his buddy list:

Code: Select all

BuddyListManager manager = getParentZone().getBuddyListManager();
BuddyList buddyList = manager.getBuddyList("the user name");

2.Why on client-side, there is not some method to do that without writing extension part ? Is there any security reason ?

Yes, that's correct. Otherwise people could use custom clients to "spy" other user's buddy lists.
