QuickBlox : How to get Online Available user list

Question

I'm creating chat application using QuickBlox API, From the sample app i can get all list users in my account.But i want to show only the online available users. How can i retrieve the online available users?

Answer 1

I can get the online users of the QuickBlox Chat Module through the SMACK API, using Rooster of a XMPP Connection. Check this answer.

Can I get online users in my friend list via Smack?

You need the online users for Chat Module or for other one?

Cheers!

Answer 2

Try this for online available users by using smack API. 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());
    }

Check whether user is online(or) offline

  Presence presence = roster.getPresence("tom@jabber.org");
   if (presence.getType() == Presence.Type.AVAILABLE) {
       // Tom is online...
        }

By using presence.getMode() method to get Mode of User. Mode is enum and its value can be chat, available, away, xa, dnd.

XMPPConnection.addConnectionCreationListener(new ConnectionCreationListener() {

    @Override
    public void connectionCreated(Connection arg0) {
        Log.i(TAG, "receive xmpp connection : " + arg0);
        connection = arg0;
        roster = arg0.getRoster();

        Collection<RosterEntry> entries = roster.getEntries();
        Presence presence;

        Log.e(TAG, "user count" + entries.size());

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

            Log.i(TAG, "" + entry.getUser());
            Log.i(TAG, "" + presence.getType().name());
            Log.i(TAG, "" + presence.getStatus());
        }

    }
});

Answer 4

You can do it as below:

1- Define a roster

  private SmackAndroid smackAndroid;
  private Roster roster;

2- Inside onCreate, initialize the smackAndroid and add XMPPConnectionListener

  smackAndroid = SmackAndroid.init(this);
  XMPPConnection.addConnectionCreationListener(new ConnectionCreationListener() {

    @Override
    public void connectionCreated(Connection connection) {
      roster = connection.getRoster();

    }
  });

3- You can add user to the roster using createEntry

  try {
    roster.createEntry("UserId", "userName", new String[] { "Friends" });
  } catch (XMPPException e) {
    e.printStackTrace();
  }

4- You can get Entries form roster using getEntry()

  ArrayList<String> friends = new ArrayList<String>();
  Collection<RosterEntry> entries = roster.getEntries();
  for (RosterEntry entry : entries) {
    friends.add(entry.getName());
  }
