Goal

Expose the id of the message an attachment belongs to to custom FileUploader implementations, so apps uploading to their own CDN can link the uploaded file to the message on their side before the message reaches the Stream API.

Closes AND-1453

Implementation

  • Add FileUploadContext, a read-only, SDK-constructed context (channel type/id, user id, message id). Its constructor is internal so new properties can be added later without breaking implementers.
  • Add FileUploader.sendFile/sendImage overloads receiving the context. They delegate to the existing overloads by default and compile as JVM default methods (-Xjvm-default=all), so current FileUploader implementations, Kotlin or Java, keep working unchanged. The API diff is purely additive.
  • Thread the message id from UploadAttachmentsWorker through AttachmentUploader and internal ChatClient/ChatApi overloads down to MoshiChatApi, which builds the context and calls the new overloads. Direct (non-message) uploads pass a null message id.

Testing

  • MoshiChatApiTest asserts the uploader receives the context with the right channel/user/message id, null message id for plain uploads, and that the legacy overloads are no longer called directly.
  • AttachmentUploaderTests covers the message id being forwarded to the client call.
  • Manually verified in the compose sample with a custom uploader: the id logged at upload time matches the message id stored server-side, for single and multiple attachments, including the offline → WorkManager retry path.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • File and image uploads can now be associated with a specific message.
    • Custom uploaders receive consolidated upload context, including channel, user, and message details.
    • Existing uploader implementations remain supported through compatibility overloads.
  • Documentation
    • Updated Java and Kotlin uploader examples to demonstrate message-linked uploads.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage verifying message ID propagation and context-aware uploader behavior.

Add FileUploadContext, a read-only, SDK-constructed context handed to
new FileUploader.sendFile/sendImage overloads. For message attachments
it carries the id the message will be sent with, so a custom uploader
can link the uploaded file to the message on an external system before
the message reaches the Stream API. The new overloads delegate to the
existing ones by default and are compiled as JVM default methods
(-Xjvm-default=all), so current FileUploader implementations, Kotlin or
Java, keep working unchanged. The context class has an internal
constructor so new properties can be added without breaking implementers.

Review Change Stack

Walkthrough

The upload pipeline now carries an optional message ID from attachment workers to custom file uploaders. A new FileUploadContext groups upload metadata. Legacy FileUploader methods remain supported through default context-aware overloads. Tests and documentation examples cover the updated flow.

Changes

Message-aware upload flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Upload context and uploader contract
stream-chat-android-client/api/..., stream-chat-android-client/src/main/java/io/getstream/chat/android/client/uploader/..., stream-chat-android-client/src/test/java/io/getstream/chat/android/client/uploader/...
Adds FileUploadContext with upload metadata and context-aware FileUploader overloads. Legacy overloads remain unchanged.
Message ID propagation
stream-chat-android-client/src/main/java/io/getstream/chat/android/client/ChatClient.kt, api/ChatApi.kt, attachment/..., attachment/worker/...
Adds nullable messageId parameters and forwards message.id through attachment uploads to the chat API.
Context-aware API execution
stream-chat-android-client/src/main/java/io/getstream/chat/android/client/api2/MoshiChatApi.kt, stream-chat-android-docs/src/main/.../MyFileUploader.*
Builds FileUploadContext values, invokes context-aware upload methods, handles nullable callbacks, and updates Java and Kotlin uploader examples.
Upload flow validation
stream-chat-android-client/src/test/..., stream-chat-android-state/src/test/...
Verifies message ID propagation, context fields, legacy delegation, nullable arguments, callback handling, and attachment-worker interactions.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to a677d

The new upload context enables custom uploaders to associate files with messages, but the provided uploader examples can still lose that association for image uploads, and delayed retries may use a different active user than the one who initiated the message. The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness and a follow-up to correct the examples and confirm session-bound identity handling.

Poem

A rabbit carries a message ID,
Through upload paths where files abide.
Context holds each detail tight,
Callbacks guide the result right.
Legacy doors still open wide.
