I'm having trouble creating XMPP client using smack 4.2 Openfire

Question

I want to create a simple XMPP client that connects to my Openfire server. I got the following problem when I'm running the code.

code:

public void setConnection() {

    try {

        XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
        config.setUsernameAndPassword(userName,password);
        config.setResource("temp");
        config.setXmppDomain("undercrroft");

        AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());
        connection.connect();
    } catch (InterruptedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (SmackException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    } catch (XMPPException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

Error:

Information:java: Errors occurred while compiling module 'Messenger'

These are my imports:

Thanks.

Answer 1

You are missing the required jxmpp libraries. Please have a look at the Smack documentation, which lists all dependencies: https://github.com/igniterealtime/Smack/wiki/Smack-4.2-Readme-and-Upgrade-Guide#using-eclipses-android-development-tools-adt-ant-based-build

Note that using a dependency manager (Gradle, Maven, Ivy) is highly recommended to prevent issues like this.

Answer 2

Update the Library..!

Those two libraries are defined in the newer library.
