## Actions and Events

### Callback Props

#### onAccept

Fires when the accept button is pressed.

```tsx lines theme={null}
onAccept?: (call: CometChat.BaseMessage) => void
```

```tsx lines theme={null}
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";
import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";

function IncomingCallWithAccept() {
  const handleAccept = (call: CometChat.BaseMessage) => {
    console.log("Call accepted:", call);
  };

  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      call={incomingCall}
      onAccept={handleAccept}
      onDecline={() => setCallReceived(false)}
    />
  );
}
```

#### onDecline

Fires when the decline button is pressed.

```tsx lines theme={null}
onDecline?: (call: CometChat.BaseMessage) => void
```

```tsx lines theme={null}
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

function IncomingCallWithDecline() {
  const handleDecline = (call) => {
    console.log("Call declined");
    setCallReceived(false);
  };

  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      call={incomingCall}
      onDecline={handleDecline}
    />
  );
}
```

#### onError

Fires on internal errors (network failure, auth issue, SDK exception).

```tsx lines theme={null}
onError?: (error: CometChat.CometChatException) => void
```

```tsx lines theme={null}
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";
import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";

function IncomingCallWithError() {
  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      call={incomingCall}
      onDecline={() => setCallReceived(false)}
      onError={(error: CometChat.CometChatException) => {
        console.error("IncomingCall error:", error);
      }}
    />
  );
}
```

### Global UI Events

`CometChatUIEventHandler` emits events subscribable from anywhere in the application. Add listeners and remove them on cleanup.

| Event | Fires when | Payload |
| - | - | - |
| `ccCallRejected` | Initiated call is rejected by the receiver | `{ call }` |
| `ccCallAccepted` | Initiated call is accepted by the receiver | `{ call }` |
| `ccCallEnded` | Initiated call successfully ends | `{ call }` |
| `ccCallFailed` | Error occurs during the initiated call | `{ call }` |

When to use: sync external UI with call state changes. For example, update a call status indicator, show notifications, or log call events.

```tsx lines theme={null}
import { useEffect } from "react";
import { CometChatUIEventHandler } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";

function useIncomingCallEvents() {
  useEffect(() => {
    const listenerId = "INCOMING_CALL_EVENTS_" + Date.now();

    CometChatUIEventHandler.addCallListener(listenerId, {
      ccCallRejected: ({ call }) => {
        console.log("Call rejected:", call);
      },
      ccCallAccepted: ({ call }) => {
        console.log("Call accepted:", call);
      },
      ccCallEnded: ({ call }) => {
        console.log("Call ended:", call);
      },
      ccCallFailed: ({ call }) => {
        console.log("Call failed:", call);
      },
    });

    return () => {
      CometChatUIEventHandler.removeCallListener(listenerId);
    };
  }, []);
}
```

## Custom View Slots

Each slot replaces a section of the default UI. Slots that accept a call parameter receive the call object for customization.

| Slot | Signature | Replaces |
| - | - | - |
| `ItemView` | `(call) => JSX.Element` | Entire incoming call card |
| `LeadingView` | `(call) => JSX.Element` | Avatar / left section |
| `TitleView` | `(call) => JSX.Element` | Caller name / title text |
| `SubtitleView` | `(call) => JSX.Element` | Call type / status text |
| `TrailingView` | `(call) => JSX.Element` | Accept/decline buttons |

### ItemView

import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";
import { View, Text } from "react-native";

function ItemViewDemo() {
  const getItemView = (call: CometChat.Call | CometChat.CustomMessage) => {
    return (
      <View style={{ padding: 20, backgroundColor: '#6852D6' }}>
        <Text style={{ color: 'white' }}>Incoming Call</Text>
      </View>
    );
  };

  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      call={incomingCall}
      onDecline={() => setCallReceived(false)}
      ItemView={getItemView}
    />
  );
}
```

### LeadingView

LeadingView?: (call: CometChat.Call | CometChat.CustomMessage) => JSX.Element
```

```tsx lines theme={null}
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";
import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";
import { View, Text } from "react-native";

function LeadingViewDemo() {
  const getLeadingView = (call: CometChat.Call | CometChat.CustomMessage) => {
    const caller = call.getCallInitiator();
    return (
      <View style={{ width: 60, height: 60, borderRadius: 30, backgroundColor: '#6852D6' }}>
        <Text style={{ color: 'white', textAlign: 'center', lineHeight: 60 }}>
          {caller.getName().charAt(0)}
        </Text>
      </View>
    );
  };

  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      call={incomingCall}
      onDecline={() => setCallReceived(false)}
      LeadingView={getLeadingView}
    />
  );
}
```

### SubtitleView

```tsx lines theme={null}
SubtitleView?: (call: CometChat.Call | CometChat.CustomMessage) => JSX.Element
```

```tsx lines theme={null}
import { CometChatIncomingCall } from "@cometchat/chat-uikit-react-native";
import { CometChat } from "@cometchat/chat-sdk-react-native";
import { Text } from "react-native";

function SubtitleViewDemo() {
  const getSubtitleView = (call: CometChat.Call | CometChat.CustomMessage) => {
    const callType = call.getType() === "audio" ? "Voice Call" : "Video Call";
    return <Text style={{ color: '#727272' }}>{callType}</Text>;
  };

  return (
    <CometChatIncomingCall
      call={incomingCall}

    />
