# Azure Communication Chat (Java)
Build real-time chat applications with thread management, messaging, participants, and read receipts.
Installation
<dependency>
<groupId>com.azure</groupId>
<artifactId>azure-communication-chat</artifactId>
<version>1.6.0</version>
</dependency>Client Creation
import com.azure.communication.chat.ChatClient;
import com.azure.communication.chat.ChatClientBuilder;
import com.azure.communication.chat.ChatThreadClient;
import com.azure.communication.common.CommunicationTokenCredential;
// ChatClient requires a CommunicationTokenCredential (user access token)
String endpoint = "https://<resource>.communication.azure.com";
String userAccessToken = "<user-access-token>";
CommunicationTokenCredential credential = new CommunicationTokenCredential(userAccessToken);
ChatClient chatClient = new ChatClientBuilder()
.endpoint(endpoint)
.credential(credential)
.buildClient();
// Async client
ChatAsyncClient chatAsyncClient = new ChatClientBuilder()
.endpoint(endpoint)
.credential(credential)
.buildAsyncClient();Key Concepts
| Class | Purpose |
|-------|---------|
| `ChatClient` | Create/delete chat threads, get thread clients |
| `ChatThreadClient` | Operations within a thread (messages, participants, receipts) |
| `ChatParticipant` | User in a chat thread with display name |
| `ChatMessage` | Message content, type, sender info, timestamps |
| `ChatMessageReadReceipt` | Read receipt tracking per participant |
Create Chat Thread
import com.azure.communication.chat.models.*;
import com.azure.communication.common.CommunicationUserIdentifier;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
// Define participants
List<ChatParticipant> participants = new ArrayList<>();
ChatParticipant participant1 = new ChatParticipant()
.setCommunicationIdentifier(new CommunicationUserIdentifier("<user-id-1>"))
.setDisplayName("Alice");
ChatParticipant participant2 = new ChatParticipant()
.setCommunicationIdentifier(new CommunicationUserIdentifier("<user-id-2>"))
.setDisplayName("Bob");
participants.add(participant1);
participants.add(participant2);
// Create thread
CreateChatThreadOptions options = new CreateChatThreadOptions("Project Discussion")
.setParticipants(participants);
CreateChatThreadResult result = chatClient.createChatThread(options);
String threadId = result.getChatThread().getId();
// Get thread client for operations
ChatThreadClient threadClient = chatClient.getChatThreadClient(threadId);Send Messages
// Send text message
SendChatMessageOptions messageOptions = new SendChatMessageOptions()
.setContent("Hello, team!")
.setSenderDisplayName("Alice")
.setType(ChatMessageType.TEXT);
SendChatMessageResult sendResult = threadClient.sendMessage(messageOptions);
String messageId = sendResult.getId();
// Send HTML message
SendChatMessageOptions htmlOptions = new SendChatMessageOptions()
.setContent("<strong>Important:</strong> Meeting at 3pm")
.setType(ChatMessageType.HTML);
threadClient.sendMessage(htmlOptions);Get Messages
import com.azure.core.util.paging.PagedIterable;
// List all messages
PagedIterable<ChatMessage> messages = threadClient.listMessages();
for (ChatMessage message : messages) {
System.out.println("ID: " + message.getId());
System.out.println("Type: " + message.getType());
System.out.println("Content: " + message.getContent().getMessage());
System.out.println("Sender: " + message.getSenderDisplayName());
System.out.println("Created: " + message.getCreatedOn());
// Check if edited or deleted
if (message.getEditedOn() != null) {
System.out.println("Edited: " + message.getEditedOn());
}
if (message.getDeletedOn() != null) {
System.out.println("Deleted: " + message.getDeletedOn());
}
}
// Get specific message
ChatMessage message = threadClient.getMessage(messageId);🎯 Best For
