I'm following a tutorial to make a very basic chat app with Android Studio, but I'm getting the error:
Error:(131, 45) error: XMPPConnection is abstract; cannot be
instantiated
at the following line:
ConnectionConfiguration connConfig = new ConnectionConfiguration(HOST, PORT, SERVICE);
XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(connConfig);
And I'm also getting some "Unhandled exception" when trying to use XMPPConnection elements.
Also link to the tutorial: LINK
Looks like this changed in Smack 4.0.0. The documentation still has not been updated.
And it looks like they will change it again in Smack 4.1:
What was
Connection connection = new XMPPConnection()
is
XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection()
in Smack 4 and will become
AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection()
in Smack 4.1
Please see this link: https://igniterealtime.org/issues/browse/SMACK-574
There is also an upgrade guide for SMACK 4.0: https://community.igniterealtime.org/docs/DOC-2703
UPDATE:
Also, looks like the new Smack 4.x libraries will only run with Java 7 and above. Java 6 backwards compatibility is broken.
ConnectionConfiguration was changed too.
XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
.setServiceName("example.org").setUsernameAndPassword("user", "password")
.setCompressionEnabled(false).build();
