Telegram Bot Utilities – examples: InlineKeyboardMarkup
Here you can see an example of InlineKeyboardMarkup that send a callback query to your bot.
An InlineKeyboardButton can also aim to a link, or it can switch to an inline query.
Here is the code:
public static void main(String[] args) throws GettingUpdatesException, IOException {
String yourToken = "<your-token>";
String chat_id = "<your-chat-id>";
TelegramBot b = new TelegramBot(yourToken);
InlineKeyboardButton[][] buttons = new InlineKeyboardButton[2][2];
buttons[0][0] = new InlineKeyboardButton("Top-Left", null, "top-left", null);
buttons[0][1] = new InlineKeyboardButton("Top-Right", null, "top-right", null);
buttons[1][0] = new InlineKeyboardButton("Bottom-Left", null, "bottom-left", null);
buttons[1][1] = new InlineKeyboardButton("Bottom-Right", null, "bottom-right", null);
InlineKeyboardMarkup inlineKeyboardMarkup = new InlineKeyboardMarkup(buttons);
b.sendMessage(chat_id, "<b>InlineKeyboardMarkup test</b>", "html", false, false, 0, inlineKeyboardMarkup);
/* Here you can handle the answer, in this case I gave 8 seconds to answer
* But it can be done also in a loop.</ul>
*/
try {
Thread.sleep(8000);
Update[] u = b.getUpdates(0, 0, 0);
Update up = u[u.length - 1];
if (up.getCallbackQuery() != null) {
b.sendMessage(chat_id, up.getCallbackQuery().getData());
}
} catch (EmptyUpdatesException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Here you can see the result:
Like I already said into the code, the answer can be handled in different ways, the one I used into this example is not the best, it was only a fast solution to show you a simple example of callback query.
For example it could be part of a loop, that checks if the callback query has a different date from the last query received, and then it sends its answer, or handles the query received.
hi
can you tell me how to i can change or update inline query message in this your example?
What are you trying to do exactly? Can you make an example?
Hello. Good example, I try to add inline mode to my bot, but I don’t have this method like in your example.
Can you tell me what library do you use for your bot. Here is my code:
public void sending(Long chatID, File photo) {
InlineKeyboardMarkup keyboardMarkup = new InlineKeyboardMarkup();
InlineKeyboardButton button = new InlineKeyboardButton();
List<List> buttons = new ArrayList();
List buttonList = new ArrayList();
button.setText(“Just button”);
button.setCallbackData(“callBack”);
buttonList.add(button);
buttons.add(buttonList);
keyboardMarkup.setKeyboard(buttons);
SendPhoto sending = new SendPhoto();
sending.setChatId(chatID.toString());
sending.setNewPhoto(photo);
sending.setReplyMarkup(keyboardMarkup);
try {
sendPhoto(sending);
} catch (TelegramApiException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
I would be really appreciated for any answer:)
Hi,
You can download the library from here: http://leocus.altervista.org/telegrambotutilities/
Let me know if you have other problems 🙂
Hi
For example I have 2 buttons “yes” & “no”
When user touch yes I want to send other inline keyboard
Do u know how to do that ?
You should read the callback query returned by the first button, and then edit the message with a new keyboard markup
Hi,
For some reason I can’t send a query with an un-equal number if rows and coloumns.
In addition I wasn’t able to send a long links, for instance:
“https://telegram.me/share/url?url=%D7%94%D7%99%D7%99%F0%9F%98%8E%0A%0A%D7%A8%D7%A6%D7%99%D7%AA%D7%99%20%D7%9C%D7%A9%D7%AA%D7%A3%20%D7%90%D7%95%D7%AA%D7%9A%20%D7%91%D7%A2%D7%A8%D7%95%D7%A5%20%D7%9E%D7%92%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%91%20%D7%A9%D7%9E%D7%A6%D7%90%D7%AA%D7%99%20%D7%91%D7%98%D7%9C%D7%92%D7%A8%D7%9D.%F0%9F%98%98%0A%D7%99%D7%A9%20%D7%91%D7%95%20%D7%9E%D7%9C%D7%90%20%D7%A7%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%95%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D%20%D7%9C%D7%9E%D7%95%D7%A6%D7%A8%D7%99%D7%9D%20%D7%90%D7%99%D7%9B%D7%95%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%99%D7%9D%20%D7%9E%D7%97%D7%95%22%D7%9C%21%F0%9F%91%87%0A%0Ahttps%3A%2F%2Ft.me%2FIsrael”
Is there any possible solution?
Hi! Sorry for the delay, can you send me the code for the buttons so I can review it? Thanks.
