QBChatMessage.isMarkable () always returns false even after the default is set to true before sending the message

I am working on an Android app with the QuickBlox SDK. When implementing Private Chat, I set the post's markable property to true by calling message.setMarkable(true)

on the object QBChatMessage

before posting the message.

Following is the override function processMessage

. Here the incoming QBChatMessage message

always has the property markable

as false

. As such, it does not allow a message to be "read" by a function privateChat.readMessage()

.

@Override
public void processMessage(QBPrivateChat chat, QBChatMessage message) {
    Log.w(TAG, "new incoming message: " + message);

    message.setMarkable(true);

    chatActivity.showMessage(message);
    if (message.isMarkable()) {
        try {
            privateChat.readMessage(message.getId());
        } catch (XMPPException e) {

        } catch (SmackException.NotConnectedException e) {

        }
    }

}

      

        
        
        
      

    

Let me know what might be wrong here.

Thanks in advance.
