# Sticker Message Module

There are two ways to add extra sticker packs. Using a `plist` configuration file or programmatically. The following image formats are supported: `png`,`gif`.

#### Plist

Create a new `plist` file with the following format:

```
[
    {
        icon: "pack-icon.png",
        stickers: [
            "sticker1.png",
            "sticker2.png",
            ...
        ]
    }, ...
]
```

Then tell the app to use your `plist` file:

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
ChatSDK.builder()
    ...
    .build()
    ...
    .addModule(StickerMessageModule.builder()
    .setLoadStickersFromPlist(R.raw.stickers_plist)
    .build())
    ...
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Swift" %}

```swift
StickerMessageModule.shared().setCustomStickers(plist: "plist_name", bundle: Bundle.main)
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}

 The bundle should be where both `plist` file and the stickers are located. 

#### Programatically

Stickers can also be added programmatically. 

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Java" %}

```java
StickerPack pack = new StickerPack(R.drawable.icon);
pack.addSticker(R.drawable.sticker_1, "sticker_1.png");
pack.addSticker(R.drawable.sticker_2, "sticker_2.png");

StickerMessageModule module = StickerMessageModule.builder()
    .setLoadStickersFromPlist(false)
    .build();

module.addPack(pack);

ChatSDK.builder()
    ...
    .build()
    ...
    .addModule(module)
    ...
```

{% endtab %}

{% tab title="Swift" %}

```swift
let sticker1 = Sticker(image: "image1.gif", sound: "sound.caf")
let sticker2 = Sticker(image: "image2.gif", sound: "sound.caf")

let pack = StickerPack(icon: "pack-icon.png", stickers: [
    sticker1,
    sticker2,
])

StickerMessageModule.shared().addPack(pack)
StickerMessageModule.shared().loadStickersFromPlist = false
```

{% endtab %}
{% endtabs %}
