ArrayList privacyItems = new ArrayList();

PrivacyItem item = new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.jid.toString() , false , 1);

item.setValue(user);

// I need to prevent rececving msgs from this user

item.setFilterMessage(true) ;

item.setFilterPresence_out( true ) ;

privacyItems.add(item);

// Get the privacy manager for the current connection.

PrivacyListManager privacyManager = PrivacyListManager.getInstanceFor(MyApplication.connection );

// Create the new list.

{ new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.jid.toString() , false , 1); } do ??

#1: To listen for PrivacyList updates (aka “privacy list push”)

#2: to deny messages. (true = allow, false = deny).

Read this:

There is everything explained.

so what I’m missing here ?

sorry but still not clear if the blocking done on the server why clients should listen to “privacy list push” !!??

and if i did not implementit user will still receive msgs from users he blockedd ???

I check the link and the xml for blocking conunications is the same as the xml sent by my code but still not working ???

It’s just there, to inform the client about an update of a privacy list. Similar to a roster push.

Sry, I don’t know what you are missing. PrivacyLists (blocking single users, type=“jid”), work for me (using Openfire 3.8.2 and Smack 3.3.1).

I can’t post the complete code here. But maybe the following help you:

  • I had to always add a “dummy” privacy item to the privacy list. Otherwise an XmppException was thrown. I don’t know why, but appearently Openfire does not like empty lists.

PrivacyItem dummyItem = new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.subscription.name(), true, 999999);

dummyItem.setValue(“both”);

// Add a dummy item, otherwise the list won’t be stored.

if (privacyItemsWithDummy.size() == 0) {

privacyItemsWithDummy.add(dummyItem);

}

privacyManager.updatePrivacyList(DEFAULT_LIST_NAME, privacyItemsWithDummy);

I always work on a default list:

privacyManager.setDefaultListName(DEFAULT_LIST_NAME);

And needed to set this list as default in order to make it work.
