Changing filters for GroupChannelList doesn't update the list

Sendbird Chat UIKit React Native

[Problem/Question]
List of chats is not being updated when channelListQueryParams are changing. I’m using following query params:

const channelListQueryParams: ChannelListQueryParamsType = {
order: GroupChannelListOrder.LATEST_LAST_MESSAGE,
hiddenChannelFilter: ‘hidden_only’ / ‘unhidden_only’,
limit: 100,
};

And like you can see I’m switching hiddenChannelFilter between hidden and unhidden. However this doesn’t update chats list at all. This is how I’m using it:

<GroupChannelListFragment
onPressCreateChannel={navigateToGroupChannelCreateScreen}
onPressChannel={navigateToGroupChannelScreen}
// Render custom channel preview
renderGroupChannelPreview={(props) => {
return <CustomChannelPreview {…props} />;
}}
// Apply query parameters for channel list
channelListQueryParams={channelListQueryParams}
/>

It’s working on Chat SDK 4.12.10 but from version 4.13.0 it’s not working anymore, I’ve tried version up to 4.15.0.

[UIKit Version]
“@sendbird/chat”: “4.13.0”,+
“@sendbird/uikit-react-native”: “3.7.6”,

[Reproduction Steps]

  1. Create GroupChannelList with import { createGroupChannelListFragment } from ‘@sendbird/uikit-react-native’;
  2. Create channelListQueryParams like in example with possibility to change hiddenChannelFilter
  3. Change hiddenChannelFilter. List is not being updated.

[Frequency]
Every time

[Current impact]
Feature doesn’t works.

I’m facing the same issue, every time I change the filter, the list of chats does not re-render. Can somebody please suggest some workaround?

Any updates about it?

Hi @matbiz & @imal,

Welcome to the Sendbird Community

Could you please try the following code and see if you are still facing any issues?

const loadChannels = async (channelHandlers) => {
    const groupChannelFilter = new GroupChannelFilter();
    groupChannelFilter.includeEmpty = true;
    groupChannelFilter.hiddenChannelFilter = HiddenChannelFilter.HIDDEN;

    const collection = sb.groupChannel.createGroupChannelCollection({
        filter: groupChannelFilter,
        order: GroupChannelListOrder.LATEST_LAST_MESSAGE,
    });

    collection.setGroupChannelCollectionHandler(channelHandlers);

    const channels = await collection.loadMore();
    return [channels, null];
}

Reference: HiddenChannelFilter | Sendbird Chat SDK Reference - v4.16.0

Sure I can but where I should use this function? I want to use your component to show chat list and change filters. Like I mentioned changing filters was working in version 4.12.10 and after upgrade to 4.13.0 it’s not working anymore.
