How to make correct doRpcCall()

[dbambulaks]

Is it possible to get some kid of general guidelines on how to compose correct rpc calls? So, for example, how to get your TL contacts list, or contact name/all messages given chat id... Thank you in advance!

hi for sending a request to telegram you can use TLRequest... classes for example for getting contacts I use this:

TLRequestContactsGetContacts contacts = new TLRequestContactsGetContacts();
                contacts.setHash("12");
                TLAbsContacts t;
                try {
                    t = kernel.getKernelComm().getApi().doRpcCall(contacts);
                    System.out.println("start");
                    if (t instanceof TLContacts) {
                        System.out.println("yes");
                        TLVector<TLAbsUser> contact = ((TLContacts) t).getUsers();
                        contact.forEach((c) -> {
                            if (c instanceof TLUser) {
                                TLUser tlUser = (TLUser) c;
                                    System.out.println(tlUser.getPhone());
                                    tlUser.getPhone();
                                    if(tlUser.getPhoto() instanceof TLUserProfilePhoto){
                                        TLUserProfilePhoto photo = (TLUserProfilePhoto) tlUser.getPhoto();
                                    }else{
                                        System.out.println("error: " + tlUser.getPhoto().getClass());
                                    }
//                                User u = new User(us.getId());
//                                u.setUserHash(us.getAccessHash());
//                                try {
//                                    kernel.getKernelComm().sendMessage(u, "salam");
//                                } catch (RpcException ex) {
//                                    Logger.getLogger(Deepthought.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
//                                }
                            }
                        });
                    }
                } catch (IOException ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(Deepthought.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                } catch (TimeoutException ex) {
                    Logger.getLogger(Deepthought.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
                }

I write this code some time ago and don't check it again, I hope this help you

Thank you! Already got idea that u need to cast Abs objects to the normal ones :)

Hello @sadeghpro!

I have included your code in the Deepthought project, but it blocks on the row ... t = kernel.getKernelComm().getApi().doRpcCall(contacts); ...

without launch an exception or do anythings..

Why?

Thank you very much!

hi @chri1389 I don't know this code in try&catch and if any error happened you must see an exception. maybe some other lines have a bug. I suggest you run code in debugger mode and send me line and error to check it.
