Remove annotation replies Leave feedback
On this page
You can remove specific or all replies using the GroupDocs.Annotation API. To do this, remove the appropriate items from the List<T> collection.
To delete an annotation reply (replies), follow these steps:
- Instantiate the Annotator class. Specify the input document path or stream.
- Call the get() method of the Annotator class to get collection of document annotations.
- Access the appropriate annotation and remove a reply in a suitable way:
* call the
annotations.get(index).getReplies().remove(index)method. Specify approptiate parameters; * call the AnnotationBase.getReplies() method and remove replies that match desired criteria. - Call the update method of the Annotator class. Specify the annotations collection.
- Call the save() method. Specify the output document path or stream.
The following code snippet shows how to remove annotation reply by its index:
// This example demonstrates how to remove replies from annotated document by reply Id.
LoadOptions tmp0 = new LoadOptions();
// NOTE: Input document already contain annotations with replies
final Annotator annotator = new Annotator("inputPath", tmp0);
try {
// Obtain annotations collection from document
List<AnnotationBase> annotations = annotator.get();
// Remove reply with Id = 4
annotations.get(0).getReplies().remove(4);
// Update and save changes
annotator.update(annotations);
annotator.save("outputPath");
} finally {
if (annotator != null) {
annotator.dispose();
}
}
The following code snippet shows how to remove replies that match some criteria:
// This example demonstrates how to remove replies from annotated document by user name.
LoadOptions tmp0 = new LoadOptions();
// NOTE: Input document already contain annotations with replies
Annotator annotator = new Annotator("inputPath", tmp0);
try {
// Obtain annotations collection from document
List<AnnotationBase> annotations = annotator.get();
// Remove all replies where author name is "Tom"
for(int i = 0; i < annotations.get(0).getReplies().size(); i++) {
if(annotations.get(0).getReplies().get(i).getUser().getName().toString().equals("Tom")) {
annotations.get(0).getReplies().remove(i);
}
}
// Update and save changes
annotator.update(annotations);
annotator.save("outputPath");
} finally {
if (annotator != null) {
annotator.dispose();
}
}
