Hi, In the android app when I click on the Group channels, I would like to know which method returns this list of channels in custom-uikit-sample code. ---

Not sure if this is what you refer to but for Android and the **uikit-custom-sample** project, the listing of channels is located in: **com.sendbird.uikit.customsample.fragments.CustomChannelListFragment.java** Internally, **onDrawPage()** is performed so, if you override that method and remove the call to **super** , you won’t see the list at all. ![Screenshot 2021-04-01 at 15.06.11](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/sendbird/original/2X/c/c94773c0465428a10bbd6c849ceadf20958244a2.png) ---

Actually what I am looking is that…while we list the list of channel I would check the ‘channel member’ metadata to identify my key…so I will get only the workspace related to user channels…hope you got my point…I am looking for a place where I should able to check my channel values and show only required channels all-time while listing the channel ---

Hi, @sakkk You can controll channel list in `CustomChannelListAdapter`. `ChannelListFragment` set channel list to `CustomChannelListAdapter` internally. If you want to discriminate channel from channel list, 1. you create your own ViewHolder 2. Override `getItemViewType` and impl this method. 3. Create different ViewHolder depending on viewType in `onCreateViewHolder`. public class CustomChannelListAdapter extends ChannelListAdapter { ``` @NonNull @Override public BaseViewHolder onCreateViewHolder(@NonNull ViewGroup parent, int viewType) { // using viewType to discriminate channel return new CustomChannelViewHolder(ViewCustomChannelHolderBinding.inflate(LayoutInflater.from(parent.getContext()), parent, false)); } @Override public void onBindViewHolder(@NonNull BaseViewHolder holder, int position) { super.onBindViewHolder(holder, position); } @Override public int getItemViewType(int position) { GroupChannel channel = getItem(position); // Discriminate channel and return viewType you intend return viewType; } ``` } ---
