How to know Typing Status in XMPP openfire using Smack
I am developing chat application by using Openfire XMPP server. I can text chat between two user. But i want to know Typing status when some one is typing message. So i created a class :-
public class typingStatus implements ChatStateListener {
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat arg0, Message arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
}
@Override
public void stateChanged(Chat arg0, ChatState arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
System.out.println(arg0.getParticipant() + " is " + arg1.name());
}
}
But i am confuse so that How will it work? I know that i need a packet where i can it in Listener. But i am unable to find that packet.
Please any one suggest, How will it work?
and also what is difference between Smack and asmack?
Thank you!
Solution 1:
To enable ChatStateListener
you need to create a custom MessageListener
Class
public class MessageListenerImpl implements MessageListener,ChatStateListener {
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat arg0, Message arg1) {
System.out.println("Received message: " + arg1);
}
@Override
public void stateChanged(Chat arg0, ChatState arg1) {
if (ChatState.composing.equals(arg1)) {
Log.d("Chat State",arg0.getParticipant() + " is typing..");
} else if (ChatState.gone.equals(arg1)) {
Log.d("Chat State",arg0.getParticipant() + " has left the conversation.");
} else {
Log.d("Chat State",arg0.getParticipant() + ": " + arg1.name());
}
}
}
Then you create MessageListener
object
MessageListener messageListener = new MessageListenerImpl();
And then pass this in the create chat method
Chat newChat = chatmanager.createChat(jabber_id_of_friend, messageListener);
what is difference between Smack and asmack? <-- Check This
Solution 2:
finally I got the solution. I need to use chat listener along with chat manager and also I need to use in built sendcomposingnotification function. No need to use Messageeventrequestlistener interface or any other custom class for this. I added the following lines,,
connection.getChatManager().addChatListener(new ChatManagerListener() {
@Override
public void chatCreated(final Chat arg0, final boolean arg1) {
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
arg0.addMessageListener(new MessageListener()
{
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat arg0, Message arg1)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
Log.d("TYpe Stat",title[0] + " is typing......");
Toast.makeText(getApplicationContext(),title[0] + " is typing......",Toast.LENGTH_SHORT).show();
}
}
});
}
});
and also need to send notification like this..
mem.sendComposingNotification(etRecipient.getText().toString(), message.getPacketID());
System.out.println("Sending notification");
where mem is type of MessageEventManger. Ref: http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/smack/docs/latest/javadoc/org/jivesoftware/smackx/MessageEventManager.html
Solution 3:
ChatManager chatManager = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(connection);
Chat chat= chatManager.createChat(to, new ChatStateListener() {
@Override
public void stateChanged(Chat chat, ChatState state) {
switch (state){
case active:
Log.d("state","active");
break;
case composing:
Log.d("state","composing");
break;
case paused:
Log.d("state","paused");
break;
case inactive:
Log.d("state","inactive");
break;
case gone:
Log.d("state","gone");
break;
}
}
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat chat, Message message) {
Log.d("processMessage","processMessage");
}
});
use this code.hope so will work
Solution 4:
i am using chat state listener :
Chat chat = chatManager.createChat(jid,
new ChatStateChangedListener());
bind the chatstatelistener with each jid like above , then :
public class ChatStateChangedListener implements ChatStateListener {
public ChatStateChangedListener() {
printLog("Chat State Changed Listner Constructor");
}
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat arg0, Message arg1) {
}
@Override
public void stateChanged(Chat chat, ChatState state) {
if (state.toString().equals(ChatState.composing.toString())) {
tvLastSeen.setText("Typing...");
} else if (state.toString().equals(ChatState.paused.toString())) {
tvLastSeen.setText("paused...");
} else {
tvLastSeen.setText("nothing");
}
}
}
}
