creating a FileTransferManager doesn't work.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Used code:

m_FTManager = new FileTransferManager(m_Connection);

produces:
E/AndroidRuntime( 8142): Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException

somehow there is no ServiceDiscoveryManager for my connection, which is why 
null is returned by ServiceDiscoveryManager.getInstanceFor().

With asmack-issue-13.jar, I can make FileTransferManager object, but it also 
failed to transfer file with service-unavailable error like this.
I'm testing with android client with asmack, OpenFire server for Windows, and 
Spark for Windows.

I have some more progress on this issue.
As the file transfer API document guided, I put a fully-qualified jabber ID 
consists of a node, a domain, and a resource, then I can see the file transfer 
view in Spark.
But I can see the following error, when I clicked 'accept' in Spark chat window.

Thread [<23> File Transfer jsi_2403365644062062677] (Suspended (exception

There is no problem with sample application using Smack in windows.

When I added configure function as Mike showed in the link ( 
http://community.igniterealtime.org/message/201866#201866 ), ClassCastException 
error had gone, but the file transfer failed too.

Spark log shows there is error and I can't found any error log in Android side.

Eventually I succeeded to transfer file by disabling proxy support on OpenFire 
server. :)

Original comment by sgki...@gmail.com on 21 Jul 2010 at 6:38

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I found a trick and finally fixed the problem by inserting the following code 
before instantiaging a FileTransferManager.

// you have to make a dummy service discovery manager.
new ServiceDiscoveryManager(your XMPP connection);
// now this line does not cause any problems.
mFileTransferManager = new FileTransferManager(your XMPP connection);

Even though the code removes the NullPointerException, there still exists a 
problem.
You will see "ClassCastException : PacketParserUtils$2" :(
I finally found the solution.
When you connect to XMPP server, SMACK API automatically loads the 
"META-INF/smack.providers" file and reads several packet processing providers. 
Android does not allow this, I guess this is a kind of security issue. 
Therefore, the code of Android SMACK API should be fixed.
Though this is a permanent remedy, you can successfully transfer a file with 
the following code snippet.

First, you have to copy a smack.properties to you android emulator.
You can get smack.properties at the original SMACK API site.

http://www.igniterealtime.org/downloads/source.jsp

For example, I pushed  smack.properties into "/data/" folder.

After that, I modified initialize() method of ProviderManager.java (it's in 
org/jivesoftware/smack/provider) as follows.

Find the following line.
                Enumeration providerEnum = classLoader.getResources(
                        "/META-INF/smack.providers");
Replace it with
                Enumeration providerEnum = classLoader.getResources(
                        "/data/smack.providers");

I hope this helps.

Thank you for helping us to proceed.

Hi agnos.kim,

I am using asmack-2010.05.07-source in eclipse for android-2.2.

After adding your solution

<solution
Enumeration providerEnum = classLoader.getResources(
                        "/META-INF/smack.providers");
Replace it with -
Enumeration providerEnum = classLoader.getResources(
                        "/data/smack.providers");
/>

I am still getting the error

I don't get any of the above exceptions when I use asmack 15, but the file 
transfer just doesn't happen. I'm trying to take a picture on the phone, save 
it on the sdcard and then send it via xmpp. Everything in the logs (logcat) 
looks fine and I can see chat messages but no files. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Neha.

I am trying to send a file to a simple asmack client, but the packets seem to 
get lost somewhere.  I've used a number of asmack builds (asmack-issue15, a 
rtreffer source build, etc.), but they all lead me to the same result.  The 
stream negotiation works fine, but the actual transfer never seems to happen.  
I get the following debug output:

XMPPClient: status: Initial
XMPPClient: Progress: 0.0/10
XMPPClient: status: Negotiating Stream
XMPPClient: Progress: 0.0/10
XMPPClient: status: In Progress
XMPPClient: Progress: 0.0/10
XMPPClient: status: In Progress
XMPPClient: Progress: 0.0/10
XMPPClient: status: In Progress
XMPPClient: Progress: 0.0/10
... and continues indefinitely

The file sending dialog on the Tkabber client closes as though it successfully 
sent the file, but the android client keeps waiting.  

I noticed that the inputStream in IncomingFileTransfer.receiveFile has a null 
buffer (and the writeToStream call blocks), which means that it never receives 
any packets.  I don't get any exceptions or any other signs that something is 
wrong.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you,
Andrey

All of these cast cast exceptions are being caused by the provider list not 
being loaded. You need to edit the ProviderManager to load the provider list 
from a specific location of your choice(you have to move your smack.providers 
file there).
