android : cannot create connection to openfire

Question

I am trying to create connection to open fire in my ConnectionAsyncTask class. I am using Smack library v4.13

Following is the code:

public class ConnectionAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    public ConnectionAsyncTask() {

    }

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

        XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
        config.setServiceName(HOST);
        config.setHost(HOST);
        config.setPort(PORT);
        config.setDebuggerEnabled(true);

        mConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());

        try {
            mConnection.connect();
            Log.i("connect", "connected");
        } catch (SmackException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (XMPPException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

But the above code is throwing the following error:

Answer 1

I had the same error.

My dependencies were:

compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.1.7"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.1.7"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.1.7"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-extensions:4.1.7"

I think it has to do with the JavaxResolver see this thread.

Once I added the following dependency:

compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-bosh:4.1.7"

The error went away.

Hope that helps!

Answer 2

I don't know how it helped me.. but,, including following lines to build.gradle solved my problem:

compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.1.3"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-bosh:4.1.3"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.1.3"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.1.3"
compile "org.jxmpp:jxmpp-jid:0.5.0-alpha6"
compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-extensions:4.1.3"

I don't know the reason behind this. If anyone knows the reason, you are most welcome to edit and update my answer.

Now this is how I was able to make connection:

public class MyAsyncTask extends AsyncTask<Void, Void, Void> {

    @Override
    protected Void doInBackground(Void... params) {

        // Create a connection to the jabber.org server on a specific port.
        XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder()
                .setServiceName("my-ip")
                .setHost("my-ip")
                .setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled)
                .setPort(5222)
                .setDebuggerEnabled(true)
                .build();

        AbstractXMPPConnection conn2 = new XMPPTCPConnection(config);
        try {
            conn2.connect();
            Log.i("connecting: ", "Connected");
        } catch (SmackException | XMPPException | IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }

        return null;
    }
}

Thanks anyways.
