Android with Smack -How to get list of online users?

I am working with jivesoftware Smack SDk for real time chatting functionality. For creating connection I am using following code , 

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder config = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
    config.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);

    config.setServiceName("world-pc");
    config.setHost(serverAddress);
    config.setPort(5222);
    config.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
    XMPPTCPConnection.setUseStreamManagementResumptiodDefault(true);
    XMPPTCPConnection.setUseStreamManagementDefault(true);
    connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());
    XMPPConnectionListener connectionListener = new XMPPConnectionListener();
    connection.addConnectionListener(connectionListener);
    connection.connect();
    connection.login("username","password");

And its working amazingly fine. Now the thing is that, I want to get online status of particular user or to get list of all users who are online. I have tried many solutions from stack overflow, but nothing works for me. One of my solution which I tried is,

Presence presence = new Presence(Presence.Type.available);
connection.sendPacket(presence);
Roster roster = xmppConnection.getRoster();
Collection<RosterEntry> entries = roster.getEntries();
Presence presence;

for(RosterEntry entry : entries) {
presence = roster.getPresence(entry.getUser());

System.out.println(entry.getUser());
System.out.println(presence.getType().name());
System.out.println(presence.getStatus());
 }

This returns me a list, but the status is null for all users. Please some one help me with accurate solution.

Thank you

You could use Presence.Type.subscribe in order to know (being a user), the status of another user:

Presence subscribe = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribe);
subscribe.setTo('[email protected]');
connection.sendPacket(subscribe);

And the "another_user" should approves your request in the same way:

Presence subscribe = new Presence(Presence.Type.subscribe);
subscribe.setTo('[email protected]');
connection.sendPacket(subscribe);

Presence it's made by a TYPE (like: Presence.Type.available or Presence.Type.unavailable) and a custom nullable status from User (like "Hello World!" or "Today I'm happy" or "At Work right now").

To set status, simply set it before send:

Presence presence = new Presence(Presence.Type.available);
presence.setStatus("Online and ready to chat");
connection.sendStanza(presence); //or old one: connection.sendPacket(presence)
