Setting ActivityType does nothing #37

Closed ghost closed 2 years ago

ghost commented 2 years ago

So I followed the ActivityExample.java and added activity.setType(ActivityType.LISTENING); or activity.setType(ActivityType.CUSTOM); and noticed the displaying prefix wasn't changing and kept saying "Playing XYZ Game". Is this a Bug, unimplemented feature or am I doing something incorrectly?

The type field in Activity is ignored by Discord by design. There is sadly no way to change the prefix with the Discord Game SDK.

From the JavaDoc:

Only for event handling. Discord will ignore this field.

From Discord's documentation (https://discord.com/developers/docs/game-sdk/activities#data-models-activitytype-enum):

ActivityType is strictly for the purpose of handling events that you receive from Discord; though the SDK/our API will not reject a payload with an ActivityType sent, it will be discarded and will not change anything in the client.
