I have the following code which should listen for messages:
ChatManager chatmanager = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(xmppManager.getConnection());
chat = chatmanager.createChat(otherJabberId);
chat.addMessageListener(new ChatMessageListener() {
@Override
public void processMessage(Chat chat, Message message) {
Log.e("message trigger", message.getBody());
}
}
But my Log never triggers.
However, I have setDebuggerEnabled(true)
in my code and the following shows up: 10-31 15:41:51.264 28889-28993/com.lfdversluis.buurapp D/SMACK: RECV (0): <message to="test@app.buur.nu/Smack" type="chat" id="53" from="testje@app.buur.nu/Gajim"><body>test</body><request xmlns="urn:xmpp:receipts"/><thread>277945c1-772a-4d4b-8e1a-274153cfb8a6</thread></message>
So the message is received. I have checked and the otherJabberId
variable is correct. It is simply the listener not triggering. What's even more weird, sometimes it just works fine.
Another Issue I have is not being able to send messages.
Here, I have the chat setup as above and use the following code to send a message:
try {
chat.sendMessage(text.trim());
DataBaseManager db = new DataBaseManager(ChatActivity.this);
db.addMessageToDB(model);
addMessageToScreen(newMessage);
} catch (SmackException.NotConnectedException ignored) {
XMPPManager manager = XMPPManager.getInstance();
manager.reconnect(); // Maybe we need to reconnect due to an interrupt and retry..
try {
chat.sendMessage(text.trim());
DataBaseManager db = new DataBaseManager(ChatActivity.this);
db.addMessageToDB(model);
addMessageToScreen(newMessage);
} catch (SmackException.NotConnectedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
Toasteroid.show(ChatActivity.this, "Could not send message. Please try again.", Toasteroid.STYLES.ERROR);
}
}
And the toast with the "could not send message" pops-up every now and then. So apparently I am not connected and I cannot reconnect either?
So how can I make my connection more stable and make sure my messages get sent?
I think you need to update you code like this:-
Change
ChatMessageListener()
toMessageListener()
, whereMessageListener()
is this ->org.jivesoftware.smack.MessageListener;
I hope its work.When preparing your connection (before you've called connect()) add a ChatManagerListener to the Connection. This ensures that chatCreated is called once for every new Chat. Within the chatCreated method add a ChatMessageListener to the Chat which is passed in; so that processMessage is called every time there's a message in that Chat.
As for your connection issues, you might want to add a org.jivesoftware.smack.ConnectionListener to your connection so you can make the failure a bit more transparent. You could also try to ensure auto-reconnect behaviour is enabled.
