I have been trying to connect to my (locally hosted) Openfire XMPP server from my aSmack Android client for hours now, and it's still not working.
I get a org.jivesoftware.smack.SmackException$ConnectionException
and that's it.
Code:
public class MainActivity extends Activity {
@Override
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
setContentView(R.layout.activity_main);
SmackAndroid.init(getApplicationContext());
connect();
}
private boolean connect(){
XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(HOST);
try{
connection.connect();
connection.login("user", "user");
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
return true;
}
Server is up and running.
Host is my server name, tried my host name too, tried different ports...
Also tried to launch the connect() method from another thread.
Tried to use a login or anonymous connection, but Exception is thrown before even that, at line: connection.connect();
Any help highly appreciated.

No, it's not. If you look at the javadoc for ConnectionException
:
ConnectionException is thrown if Smack is unable to connect to all
hosts of a given XMPP service. The failed hosts can be retrieved with
getFailedAddresses(), which will have the exception causing the
connection failure set and retrievable with
HostAddress.getException().
So call ConnectionException.getFailedAddresses()
to retrieve the list and check with HostAddress.getException()
what caused Smack to be unable to connect to the host.
It throws exception as you can't make network operation on Android main thread, you should move it to another thread.
**XMPPTCPConnection connection is already configured so please check the connection before creating object of XMPPTCPConnection class.**
XMPPTCPConnection connection;
if (connection != null) {
connection = null;//make it null
}
connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());
I am getting this same problem but now it has been fixed try it is working.
Try the below code. It's working for me:
AndroidConnectionConfiguration config = new AndroidConnectionConfiguration(HOST);
config.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);
XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(config);
then connect and login
Try to add
<uses-permission android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" />
to your manifest. Because that your application cannot connect to the Internet.
