Introduction

The meetings polls object can be accessed using meeting.polls. It provides methods to create polls, vote, and more.

meeting.polls.polls returns an array of all polls created in a meeting, where each element is an object of type DytePollMessage.

The type DytePollMessage is the main class for any poll in Dyte. It also contains list of DytePollOption which are options for a given poll. And every DytePollOption has list of votes inside of it. Votes are objects of class DytePollVote which internally has id and name of the vote.

One can easily create, vote and view polls by listening to callbacks on meeting object.

Listening to new polls in a meeting​

To be able to receive new poll messages you need to implement a method onPollUpdates() method from callback DyteMeetingRoomEventsListener. You can subscribe to this events by calling meeting.addMeetingEventsListener(dyteMeetingRoomEventsListener)

    meeting.addMeetingRoomEventsListener(object :
      DyteMeetingRoomEventsListener {
      override fun onNewPoll(poll: DytePollMessage) {
        super.onNewPoll(poll)
        // code to handle new poll
      }

      override fun onPollUpdates(pollMessages: List<DytePollMessage>) {
        super.onPollUpdates(pollMessages)
        // code to handle polls and their vote updates.
      }
    })
