XMPP Connection with Smack 4.1 on Android Studio

Question

I am trying to do an XMPP Connection with Smack 4.1.0 rc1 from https://github.com/igniterealtime/Smack

I followed this guide: https://github.com/igniterealtime/Smack/wiki/Smack-4.1-Readme-and-Upgrade-Guide importing the Gradle.

Source code:

package com.example.xmpp_app;

import android.os.Bundle;
import android.support.v7.app.ActionBarActivity;
import android.view.Menu;
import android.view.MenuItem;

import org.jivesoftware.smack.AbstractXMPPConnection;

import org.jivesoftware.smack.XMPPException;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnection;
import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration;

import java.io.IOException;

public class MainActivity extends ActionBarActivity {

    @Override
    protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);

        // Create the configuration for this new connection
        XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder configBuilder = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
        configBuilder.setUsernameAndPassword("[email protected]", "password123");
        configBuilder.setResource("test");
        configBuilder.setServiceName("example.com");

        AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(configBuilder.build());
        // Connect to the server
        try {
            connection.connect();
        } catch (SmackException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (XMPPException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
        // Log into the server
        try {
            connection.login();
        } catch (XMPPException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (SmackException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        // Disconnect from the server
        connection.disconnect();
    }


    @Override
    public boolean onCreateOptionsMenu(Menu menu) {
        // Inflate the menu; this adds items to the action bar if it is present.
        getMenuInflater().inflate(R.menu.menu_main, menu);
        return true;
    }

    @Override
    public boolean onOptionsItemSelected(MenuItem item) {
        // Handle action bar item clicks here. The action bar will
        // automatically handle clicks on the Home/Up button, so long
        // as you specify a parent activity in AndroidManifest.xml.
        int id = item.getItemId();

        //noinspection SimplifiableIfStatement
        if (id == R.id.action_settings) {
            return true;
        }

        return super.onOptionsItemSelected(item);
    }
}

Answer 1

Replace smack-java7 with smack-android in your build.gradle. This is documented in Smack's README.

Smaragdine

Thanks it seems that it worked but i have another issue could you please help me on this? it says now... : 03-21 14:57:30.332 1176-1176/com.securechat.my_xmpp_app W/System.err﹕ org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException$ConnectionException: The following addresses failed: 'xx.xx.xx.xx:5222' failed because java.net.SocketException: socket failed: EACCES (Permission denied) 03-21 14:57:30.372 1176-1176/com.securechat.my_xmpp_app W/System.err﹕ at org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnection.connectUsingConfiguration(XMPPTCPConnection.java:574) My ports are already forwarded – Puncture

Looks you don't have requested the internet permission. – Smaragdine

I found some guides how to request internet permission but i can not test it coz im not at home now, how can i try it with my localhost? when i try this it says Exception while resovling SRV records for 127.0.0.1. Consider adding '_xmpp-(server|client)._tcp' DNS SRV Records android.os.NetworkOnMainThreadException – Puncture

Hello, I am facing same error, i can't find it..can you please help me.!! – Nigercongo

Answer 2

This is an upgrade of my last FCM XMPP Connection Server application. Now, this project uses the latest version at this time of the Smack library (4.1.8). I think that the library for android is pretty the same for the java server.

https://github.com/carlosCharz/fcmxmppserverv2

This is my sample java project to showcase the Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) XMPP Connection Server. This server sends data to a client app via the FCM CCS Server using the XMPP protocol.

https://github.com/carlosCharz/fcmxmppserver

And also I've created a video in youtube where I explain what the changes are.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVKEj6PeLTc

Hope you find it useful.

Here is a code snippet for the implementation:

    public class CcsClient implements StanzaListener {

    //Other code

    public void connect() throws XMPPException, SmackException, IOException {
    XMPPTCPConnection.setUseStreamManagementResumptionDefault(true);
    XMPPTCPConnection.setUseStreamManagementDefault(true);

    XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
    config.setServiceName("FCM XMPP Client Connection Server");
    config.setHost(Util.FCM_SERVER);
    config.setPort(Util.FCM_PORT);
    config.setSecurityMode(SecurityMode.ifpossible);
    config.setSendPresence(false);
    config.setSocketFactory(SSLSocketFactory.getDefault());
    // Launch a window with info about packets sent and received
    config.setDebuggerEnabled(mDebuggable);

    // Create the connection
    connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());

    // Connect
    connection.connect();

    // Enable automatic reconnection
    ReconnectionManager.getInstanceFor(connection).enableAutomaticReconnection();

    // Handle reconnection and connection errors
    connection.addConnectionListener(new ConnectionListener() {

        @Override
        public void reconnectionSuccessful() {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "Reconnection successful ...");
            // TODO: handle the reconnecting successful
        }

        @Override
        public void reconnectionFailed(Exception e) {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "Reconnection failed: ", 
        e.getMessage());
            // TODO: handle the reconnection failed
        }

        @Override
        public void reconnectingIn(int seconds) {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "Reconnecting in %d secs", seconds);
            // TODO: handle the reconnecting in
        }

        @Override
        public void connectionClosedOnError(Exception e) {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "Connection closed on error");
            // TODO: handle the connection closed on error
        }

        @Override
        public void connectionClosed() {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "Connection closed");
            // TODO: handle the connection closed
        }

        @Override
        public void authenticated(XMPPConnection arg0, boolean arg1) {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "User authenticated");
            // TODO: handle the authentication
        }

        @Override
        public void connected(XMPPConnection arg0) {
            logger.log(Level.INFO, "Connection established");
            // TODO: handle the connection
        }
    });

    // Handle incoming packets (the class implements the StanzaListener)
    connection.addAsyncStanzaListener(this,
            stanza -> stanza.hasExtension(Util.FCM_ELEMENT_NAME, Util.FCM_NAMESPACE));

    // Log all outgoing packets
    connection.addPacketInterceptor(stanza -> logger.log(Level.INFO, 
    "Sent: {}", stanza.toXML()), stanza -> true);

    connection.login(fcmServerUsername, mApiKey);
    logger.log(Level.INFO, "Logged in: " + fcmServerUsername);
    }
  }

Hi. is this known issue for you ? connectionClosedOnError -> Attempt to invoke interface method 'java.lang.String java.lang.CharSequence.toString()' on a null object reference – Tryparsamide

Hi. No. It never happened to me. Did you get a compilation error? Runtime error? – Vanover

Answer 3

Try to connect server with XMPPConnection class.

How to connect:

XMPPConnection con = new XMPPTCPConnection("igniterealtime.org");
con.connect();
