Running the sample app

The sample app contains most of the functions available in vchatCloud sdk.
Get hints that can be applied to your own project through the'Sample App', and apply them to various types of projects.

How vchatCloud sdk works

vchatCloud sdk helps a random user to set a nickname and select a chat room required when entering from the client app.
The entered chat room receives and sends messages from other users who entered with the same channel key, and the chat server generates and delivers the event.
vchatCloud sdk delivers a callback function to the provided method for the event occurred from the server.
It helps to implement and control events easily by using the delivered callback function.
