Delete Group

Permanently delete a CometChat group by GUID with the Android SDK using the admin-only deleteGroup method.

AI Integration Quick Reference

CometChat.deleteGroup("GUID", object : CometChat.CallbackListener<String>() {

    Log.d(TAG, "Group deleted successfully: ");
  }

  @Override

Kotlin

val GUID:String="GUID"

CometChat.deleteGroup(GUID,object :CometChat.CallbackListener<String>(){
  override fun onSuccess(p0: String?) {

  }

  override fun onError(p0: CometChatException?) {
