How to add and configure asmack in android - asmack

Question

Please can you help with a break down of how you got asmack working in your android. I cant get it to work for my application. I keep geting java.lang.verifyError.

Answer 1

Be sure to include latest version i.e. asmack-android-17-0.8.3 of asmack library in libs folder.
Adding this might remove java.lang.VerifyError.
I do it the following way, it works perfectly.
public void login(View view)
{
new Connection().execute("username", "password");
}
private class Connection extends AsyncTask<String, Void, Integer>
{
private static final int CONNECTION_FAILURE = 0;
private static final int LOGIN_FAILURE = 1;
private static final int SUCCESS = 2;
#Override
protected Integer doInBackground(String... strings)
{
ConnectionConfiguration conConfig = new ConnectionConfiguration("192.168.1.100", 5222, "domain");
connection = new XMPPConnection(conConfig);
try
{
connection.connect();
Log.i("AppName", "CONNECTED TO " + connection.getHost());
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("AppName", e.getMessage());
return CONNECTION_FAILURE;
}
try
{
connection.login(strings[0], strings[1]);
Log.i("AppName", "LOGGED IN AS " + connection.getUser());
Presence presence = new Presence(Presence.Type.available);
connection.sendPacket(presence);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
Log.e("AppName", e.getMessage());
return LOGIN_FAILURE;
}
return SUCCESS;
}
}
