How to customize
Typing indication UI component is provided by the SDK, and can be customize either by configuration setting or by view implementation overriding.
Customizing by Configure
Override `ChatUIProvider.typingUIProvider.configure` method:
```kotlin
ChatUIProvider(context).apply {
typingUIProvider.configure = { adapter:TypingUIAdapter ->
...
}
}
```
Customizing by override
Override overrideFactory value with your own TypingFactory implementation: ```kotlin ChatUIProvider(context).apply { typingUIProvider.overrideFactory = MyTypingFactory() }
// for e.g.
class MyTypingFactory : TypingFactory{
// TypingUIAdapter interface should be
// implemented by the overriding component
return object : TypingUIAdapter{
...
}
}
```
