Group channel list to include metadata

Sendbird Chat API/SDK Android
1

Hi, I checked when fetching group channel list, the metadata is not included, so we have to fetch it separately using https://docs.sendbird.com/android/user_channel_metadata#3_channel_metadata_4_retrieve. But this approach is not scalable in client side when we have to the retrieve all group channel’s metadata. Is there any plan to include the metadata in group channel directly?

Hi @wisnup,

Our channel object includes data, customType fields. I think if you want to use your custom data directly, you can consider to use data or customType.

Argument Type Description
DATA string Specifies additional data that you can store for the channel.
CUSTOM_TYPE string Specifies the custom channel type which is used for channel grouping.
