Polls (#2649)

Discord has recently released a new feature on their platform to start and vote in polls. These polls can now be sent in messages:

channel.sendMessage("Hello guys! Check my poll:")
  .setPoll(
    MessagePollData.builder("Which programming language is better?")
      .addAnswer("Java", Emoji.fromFormatted("<:java:1006323566314274856>"))
      .addAnswer("Kotlin", Emoji.fromFormatted("<:kotlin:295940257797636096>"))
      .build())
  .queue()

The poll automatically expires after a set duration, configurable in the MessagePollBuilder using setDuration. A poll can also be ended manually using endPoll or endPollById.

You can check the poll votes on a message using the new Message#getPoll:

MessagePoll poll = message.getPoll();
for (MessagePoll.Answer answer : poll.getAnswers()) {
  System.out.printf("Poll Answer %s has %d votes\n", answer.getText(), answer.getVotes());
}

Note

The votes for polls are eventually consistent and need to be recounted after the poll ends. You can check whether the votes are validated using MessagePoll#isFinalizedVotes.
