getSearchForm returns null when using UserSearch i

I have this code, almost unmodified from examples:

                UserSearchManager usm = new UserSearchManager(conn);
                Form searchForm = usm.getSearchForm("search.myserver.com");
                Form answerForm = searchForm.createAnswerForm();
                answerForm.setAnswer("Username", true);
                answerForm.setAnswer("search", contact.getJid());
                ReportedData data = usm.getSearchResults(answerForm, "search.myserver.com");

This works perfectly in a Desktop environment, using Smack library, but I can't get it to work in Android (where I have to use asmack).

The problem is searchForm is null because getSearchForm returns null. This seems to be pretty odd as I can't seem to find any documentation on which cases that method should return null.

The server is Openfire, if it helps.

Update 04/2014

The original answer below contains now old and outdated information. Since aSmack 0.8 it's no longer necessary to manually configure the provider manager. Calling SmackAndroid.init(Context) as the aSmack README tells you to do, takes care of all necessary initializations.

Original Answer

In the end, the problem was global to all asmack. It seems it's a known issue: the smack.providers file, usually in /META-INF folder in normal versions of smack, can't be loaded in Android because its jar packaging. So all the providers must be initialized by hand, as shown in Mike Ryan's answer in this thread: http://community.igniterealtime.org/message/201866#201866

I removed the stuff that didn't worked for me, and this is the result.

pm.addExtensionProvider("session-expired", "http://jabber.org/protocol/commands", new AdHocCommandDataProvider.SessionExpiredError());

}

I only commented a couple lines, and voilà. This should be called before instantiating XMPPConnection, with a line like this:

    configure(ProviderManager.getInstance());

Now I'll have to deal with my other problems, but at least this one is solved :)

In the code example XmppTool.java, getSearchFrom is used in searchUsers().

public List<User> searchUsers(String serverDomain,String userName){
        List<User> list = new ArrayList<User>();
        UserSearchManager userSearchManager = new UserSearchManager(con);
        try {
            Form searchForm = userSearchManager.getSearchForm("search."+serverDomain);
            Form answerForm = searchForm.createAnswerForm();
            answerForm.setAnswer("Username", true);
            answerForm.setAnswer("Name", true);
            answerForm.setAnswer("search", userName);
            ReportedData data = userSearchManager.getSearchResults(answerForm, "search."+serverDomain);
            Iterator<Row> rows = data.getRows();
            while(rows.hasNext()){
                User user = new User();
                Row row = rows.next();
                user.setUserName(row.getValues("Username").next().toString());
                user.setName(row.getValues("Name").next().toString());
                SLog.i(tag, user.toString());
                list.add(user);
            }
        } catch (XMPPException e) {
            SLog.e(tag, Log.getStackTraceString(e));
        }
        return list;
    }

You may refer to the global settings in the java file to repair your code.

The Javadoc of UserSearchManager explains as follows:

The UserSearchManager is a facade built upon Jabber Search Services (JEP-055) to allow for searching repositories on a Jabber Server. This implementation allows for transparency of implementation of searching (DataForms or No DataForms), but allows the user to simply use the DataForm model for both types of support.

 XMPPConnection con = new XMPPConnection("jabber.org");
 con.login("john", "doe");
 UserSearchManager search = new UserSearchManager(con, "users.jabber.org");
 Form searchForm = search.getSearchForm();
 Form answerForm = searchForm.createAnswerForm();
 answerForm.setAnswer("last", "DeMoro");
 ReportedData data = search.getSearchResults(answerForm);
 // Use Returned Data
