• ConnectApi.HashtagSegment Class
• ConnectApi.LinkSegment Class
• ConnectApi.MentionSegment Class
• ConnectApi.MoreChangesSegment Class
• ConnectApi.ResourceLinkSegment Class
• ConnectApi.TextSegment Class
This is an abstract class.
Message segments in a feed item are typed as ConnectApi.MessageSegment. Feed item attachments are typed as
ConnectApi.FeedItemAttachment. These classes are both abstract and have several concrete subclasses. At runtime you
can use instanceof to check the concrete types of these objects and then safely proceed with the corresponding downcast.
When you downcast, you must have a default case that handles unknown subclasses.
Important: The composition of a feed may change between releases. Your code should always be prepared to handle
unknown subclasses in both ConnectApi.MessageSegment and ConnectApi.FeedItemAttachment objects.
