i'm using smack 3.1.0, and when i add a roster,i can't get subscription "both". who can help me?
below is my code:
Roster.setDefaultSubscriptionMode(Roster.SubscriptionMode.accept_all);
Roster roster = connection.getRoster();
roster.createEntry("buddy@test.com","me",null)
after the code execution, i observed in openfire the subscription is "to"
Rewriting @mschonaker's answer to be a little more clear.
Both users need to subscribe to each other and accept the subscription request they received. Let's call them Alice and Bob. Alice sends a subscription request to Bob:
Presence subscribe = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribe);
subscribe.setTo('bob@example.com');
connection.sendPacket(subscribe);
When Bob receives the request, he approves it:
Presence subscribed = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribed);
subscribed.setTo('alice@example.com');
connection.sendPacket(subscribed);
Bob may also be interested in Alice's presence, so he subscribes to her:
Presence subscribe = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribe);
subscribe.setTo('alice@example.com');
connection.sendPacket(subscribe);
And Alice needs to approve Bob's request:
Presence subscribed = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribed);
subscribed.setTo('bob@example.com');
connection.sendPacket(subscribed);
Section 3.1 of RFC6121 is the current best reference for how this works.
Both users need to subscribe to each other. By sending a presence subscription stanza. In Smack:
Presence presence = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribe);
presence.setTo(jid);
connection.sendPacket(presence);
Section 3.1 of the RFC6121 will give you the semantic details.
Okay, I toiled hard at this for a couple of days and finally got things working. Thank you @Joe Hildebrand, your answer put me on the right track to solve this. I have implemented it with a manual subscription mode (ie. user needs to accept another user's request manually).
The server keeps pushing subscribe request to the user (upon re-login) if the user hasn't sent a subscribed or unsubscribed back. So what you can do is save the incoming subscribe requests locally in a list and display that as a "friend request list" for manual accept/reject. If your application gets restarted (and hence re-connects to server), the server will push subscribe requests again.
This is how it works:
- User1 sends subscribe presence to User2.
- Roster entry gets automatically created in User1's roster (but not in User2's roster).
- User2 receives subscribe request from User1.
- User2 sends back a subscribed presence to User2 (User2 > User1 subscription complete).
- User2 checks if User1 is in User2's roster. User1 is not in User2's roster. User2 sends back a subscribe presence to User1.
- Roster entry gets automatically created in User2's roster.
- User1 receives subscribe presence from User2.
User1 checks if User2 is in User1's roster. User2 is in User1's roster. User1 sends back a subscribed presence to User2 (User2 > User1 subscription complete).
final Presence newPresence = (Presence) packet;
final Presence.Type presenceType = newPresence.getType();
final String fromId = newPresence.getFrom();
final RosterEntry newEntry = getRoster().getEntry(fromId);
if (presenceType == Presence.Type.subscribe)
{
//from new user
if (newEntry == null)
{
//save request locally for later accept/reject
//later accept will send back a subscribe & subscribed presence to user with fromId
//or accept immediately by sending back subscribe and unsubscribed right now
}
//from a user that previously accepted your request
else
{
//send back subscribed presence to user with fromId
}
}
If you are using open fire server you can also use User Service plugin which will create roster with subscription both...
Same problem I was face but I got the solution how subscribe set 'both'
Below is sending subscription to user, when you added the user
Presence pres = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribed);
pres.setPriority(24);
pres.setMode(Presence.Mode.available);
pres.setTo(friendJid);
RoosterConnection.getConnection().sendStanza(pres);
and Receiving end put below method in connection class and presenceChanged is default method of RosterListener.
@Override
public void presenceChanged(Presence presence) {
mBus.post(presence);
try {
Presence pres = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribed);
pres.setTo(presence.getFrom());
RoosterConnection.getConnection().sendStanza(pres);
} catch (SmackException.NotConnectedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
