How to add reject buddy support

Smack Smack Dev

Hi,

When someone (username:X) wants to add me (username:Me) as a buddy I get a add buddy accept or reject dialog. How can I reject this buddy request?

As if I want to accept friend request from X I can do:

Presence authorize = new Presence(Presence.Type.SUBSCRIBED);

authorize.setTo(from);

connection.sendPacket(authorize);

This is working fine. But if I wan’t to reject the friend request from X I am doing:

Presence auth = new Presence(Presence.Type.UNSUBSCRIBED);

auth.setTo(from);

connection.sendPacket(auth);

This is not working. How can I reject a friend request in Smack?

Thanks,

Neeta

if (presence.getType() == Presence.Type.subscribe) {
        // send subscription deny packet
        Presence response = new Presence(Presence.Type.unsubscribe);
        response.setTo(from);
        con.sendPacket(response);
    }

Don’t put plus-signs in there.

I am not sure how these + are added with undubscribed. Some copy paste issue. But I saw you are using “unsubscribe” instead. I will try using “unsubscribe” insted of unsubscribed and will update you if it worked for me.

Thanks a lot for your reply.

Please refer the JavaDocs for explanation of such things. It comes with the smack libraries for easy offline reading.
