Xmpp + openfire + server acknowledgement to the sender

Question

I'm developing IM application. I want to get acknowledgement at the time of

when message is received by the Openfire server

I have used below gradles

//XMPP Gradles
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.1.0'
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.1.0'
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.1.0'
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-extensions:4.1.0'

Note: I have already gone through each and every StackOverflow links and conclude that Openfire doesn't support XEP-0184, and it describes a mechanism for delivery receipts only.

I have also tried DeliveryReceiptManager and set their addReceiptReceivedListener but its not working.

Any workarounds or suggestions will be appreciated.

put `DeliveryReceiptManager.getInstanceFor(connection).enableAutoReceipts();` after successful connection — Maddy, Aug 22 '17 at 10:32

It is better to attach a common listener to every sent message and update your database(and hence your UI) accordingly.

Define a random UUID for each outgoing message:

String stanzaId = UUID.randomUUID().toString()

Attach the listener to your message:

xmppTcpConnection.addStanzaIdAcknowledgedListener(stanzaId , new StanzaListener()
{
    @Override
    public void processStanza(Stanza packet) throws SmackException.NotConnectedException, InterruptedException
    {
     // You can match your stanzaId here!
     // packet.getStanzaId()   
    }
});

add:

compile "org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.2.0"

to get XMPPTCPConnection object.

Update: Try adding the listener before calling connect() on the xmppTcpConnection object.

not getting you @Sarthak , did this addStanzaIdAcknowledgedListener ,gives us acknowledgement of sender's message from server side (ex: this message is received by server)? – Radhey Aug 28 '17 at 09:49
I'm also facing message skipping issue! any work around for that? – Radhey Aug 28 '17 at 09:50
@Radhey yes when you get a callback in your `processStanza` method, it means that the particular message was successfully received by the server. – Sarthak Mittal Aug 28 '17 at 09:52
@Radhey message skipping as in? – Sarthak Mittal Aug 28 '17 at 09:53
I have used AbstractXMPPConnection object rather than xmppTcpConnection and there is not any addStanzaIdAcknowledgedListener methods there! – Radhey Aug 28 '17 at 10:00
Let's discuss in chat room @Sarthak. – Radhey Aug 28 '17 at 10:03
sure, where? btw, I have updated the answer, just add the import and you will have access to XMPPTCPConnection – Sarthak Mittal Aug 28 '17 at 10:04
Let us [continue this discussion in chat](http://chat.stackoverflow.com/rooms/153012/discussion-between-radhey-and-sarthak-mittal). – Radhey Aug 28 '17 at 10:05
Thanks @Sarthak but still it didn't work. So I can't accept it as exact answer.If I will get work around with your suggestions then surely I will except it. – Radhey Aug 29 '17 at 05:16
@Radhey sure! callback ain't getting invoked? – Sarthak Mittal Aug 29 '17 at 05:17
Nope brother! not getting any callback. – Radhey Aug 29 '17 at 05:19

while sending message attach DeliveryReceiptRequest.addTo(msg);

like this

Message msg = new Message(oppositeUserId, Message.Type.chat);
msg.setBody(mMessageBody);
msg.setStanzaId(messageId);
msg.setFrom(loginUserId);

DeliveryReceiptRequest.addTo(msg);

mXMPPTCPConnection.sendStanza(msg);

XmppDeliveryReceiptManager.java

public class XmppDeliveryReceiptManager implements ReceiptReceivedListener {


    private static final String TAG = XmppDeliveryReceiptManager.class.getSimpleName();

    Context mContext;


    public XmppDeliveryReceiptManager(Context mContext) {
       this.mContext = mContext;
       Log.d(TAG, "XmppDeliveryReceiptManager : initialized ");
    }

    @Override
    public void onReceiptReceived(String fromJid, String toJid, String receiptId, Stanza receipt) {
        Log.d(TAG, "onReceiptReceived : receiptId = " + receiptId);
        // do need full with "receiptId"         
    }
}

add this to your XMPP configuration

/*  Add XMPP DeliveryReceiptManager */
ProviderManager.addExtensionProvider(DeliveryReceipt.ELEMENT,
            DeliveryReceipt.NAMESPACE, new DeliveryReceipt.Provider());
ProviderManager.addExtensionProvider(DeliveryReceiptRequest.ELEMENT,
            new DeliveryReceiptRequest().getNamespace(), new DeliveryReceiptRequest.Provider());

mXmppDeliveryReceiptManager = new XmppDeliveryReceiptManager(mContext);
mDeliveryReceiptManager = DeliveryReceiptManager.getInstanceFor(mXMPPTCPConnection);
mDeliveryReceiptManager.setAutoReceiptMode(DeliveryReceiptManager.AutoReceiptMode.always);
        mDeliveryReceiptManager.addReceiptReceivedListener(mXmppDeliveryReceiptManager);

Exactly what I'm looking for! – Radhey Dec 22 '17 at 06:31 — Radhey, Dec 22 '17 at 06:31
