Android Chatting application

Question

I am making a chatting application in android. I am able to perform the live chatting. But i am not able to get when the user is online or offline. How can I achieve the same

Thanks

here is the code

private void getListener() {
        Roster roster = connection.getRoster();
        Collection<RosterEntry> entries = roster.getEntries();
        for (RosterEntry rosterEntry : entries) {
            String user = rosterEntry.getUser();
            Presence presence = roster.getPresence(user);
            System.out.println("User : " + user);
            System.out.println("Presence : " + presence); // 1
            System.out.println("Presence type: " + presence.getType()); // 2
            System.out.println("Presence mode: " + presence.getMode());
        }
    }

but i always get the status unavailable, also when the person is available. Please tell me any solution what to do?? Thanks

How can anyone answer your question without knowing a thing about your implementation? — Egor, Oct 09 '12 at 07:59
Is your project confidential one? Because, there is no line of code where you are setting the status of the user. Also, there are other users in the app as well, so you need to sync the status to server as well. There must be lot of code which I needed before I can through my answer. — Hassan Jawed, Oct 09 '12 at 12:55

Add an Online field to your users db, once logged it changed to true, once logged off changed it to false. In your chatting app, regularly (every 180 seconds) request your server for the user's Online field, and show that to the users.

Do you set the flag on once the user logs in? and off when the user logs off? – Mohsen Afshin Oct 09 '12 at 13:37
No I have not made any provision like this.. as it is done on run time basis – Gaurav Arora Oct 10 '12 at 04:08
I don't know what exactly your Presence or Roster class do, but I told the general procedure for doing such a task – Mohsen Afshin Oct 10 '12 at 06:05
