How to get updates from bot

There are 2 methods

• Webhooks (Setup a callback server. Telegram will send request to our server)

• Long polling (We will send periodic request to Telegram server)

• For now only Long Polling can be used.

• Complete the toString() method with json

Long Polling

bot.setUpdateListener(new UpdateEvent() {
  @Override
  public void onUpdate(Update update) {
    int hour = LocalDateTime.now().getHour();
    int minute = LocalDateTime.now().getMinute();
    int second = LocalDateTime.now().getSecond();

    String time = "[" + hour + ":" + minute + ":" + second + "]";

    System.out.println(time);
    System.out.println(update.toString());
  }
}, 1000, 100, 0, null);

Return a JSONObject

Send methods

ALL methods on the official Telegram Bot API page

TelegramBot bot = new TelegramBot("xxxxxxxxx:yzyzyzyzyzyzyzyzyz-yzyzyzyzyz");

First we need to create an instance of the bot using the unique token gived by Bot Father

---

Then we need to create the request with one of the available methods

SendMessage request = new SendMessage(chat_id, URLEncoder.encode("TEST message UTF-8", "UTF-8"));

---

So we must send it to the Telegram servers

Sync method:

bot.execute(request);

Async method:

bot.async_execute(request, new ExecuteEvent() {
    @Override
    public void onExecute(JSONObject result) {
        // NEXT
    }
});

The return of method execute is a JSONArray so we can read it

System.out.println( result.toString(4) );
