Feed

Feeds are a new way for users to create content on various areas of the SDK.
Currently, users and groups can have feeds. Each feed consists of a collection of posts. Users will be able to create posts on any group that they are a member of and any user that they can find.
There is also a global feed which is an aggregate of all the posts in a user's feeds.
Feed management methods are all contained in a EkoFeedRepository class.
Create Repository
val feedRepository = EkoClient.newFeedRepository()
Query User Feed
You can get any user's feed by calling the method below with the userId:
Enum Types
EkoUserFeedSortOption
EkoUserFeedSortOption.LAST_CREATED
EkoUserFeedSortOption.FIRST_CREATED
 feedRepository.getUserFeed("user1")
                .build()
                .query()
                .doOnNext { 
                    //Do Action
                }
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe()
There is also a quick easy method to get your own feed:
feedRepository.getMyFeed()
                .sortBy(EkoUserFeedSortOption.LAST_CREATED)
                .build()
                .query()
                .doOnNext {
                    //Do Action
                }
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe()
Note. By default of sortBy is LAST_CREATED so you can skip .sortBy in builder
Query Group Feed
You can get any group's feed by calling the method below with the communityId:
Enum Types
EkoCommunityFeedSortOption
EkoCommunityFeedSortOption.LAST_CREATED
feedRepository.getCommunityFeed("community1")
                .sortBy(EkoCommunityFeedSortOption.LAST_CREATED)
                .build()
                .query()
                .doOnNext {
                    //Do Action
                }
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe()
Query Global Feed
You can retreive your global feed by calling the following method:
feedRepository.getGlobalFeed()
                .doOnNext {
                    //Do Action
                }
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .observeOn(AndroidSchedulers.mainThread())
                .subscribe()
Posts
A feed is made up of a collection of posts. Users will be able to generate different types of posts as well as be able to react and comment on posts.
EkoImage
When you want to parse EkoImage object you can upload image uri or id by use EkoClient.newFileRepository() the following:
val files = mutableListOf<EkoImage>()
        EkoClient.newFileRepository()
                .uploadImage(:uri)
                .build()
                .transfer()
                .doOnNext {
                    when (it) {
                        is EkoUploadResult.COMPLETE -> {
                            files.add(it.image)
                        }
                        is EkoUploadResult.PROGRESS -> {
                            // do something 
                        }
                        is EkoUploadResult.ERROR, EkoUploadResult.CANCELLED -> {
                           // do something 
                        }
                    }
                }
                .subscribeOn(Schedulers.io())
                .subscribe()
EkoFile
When you want to parse EkoFile object you can upload file uri or id by use EkoClient.newFileRepository() the following:
val files = mutableListOf<EkoFile>()
        EkoClient.newFileRepository()
                .uploadFile(:uri)
                .build()
                .transfer()
                .doOnNext {
                    when (it) {
                        is EkoUploadResult.COMPLETE -> {
                            files.add(it.file)
                        }
                        is EkoUploadResult.PROGRESS -> {
                            // do something 
                        }
                        is EkoUploadResult.ERROR, EkoUploadResult.CANCELLED -> {
                            // do something 
                        }
                    }
                }
