Hi again,
I’'ve been having a bit of trouble when displaying the text of a recieved message,
It displays the message ok the first or second lines but after that it seems to display the lines an exponential number of times,
Do you know if this is a common thing, I think maybe the packet listener is fired twice but i’'m new to this so not 100% certain.
Thanks
Bob
Also Does Anyone know the procedure for an incoming message to alert the user of the message,i.e. trigger a dialog or something to say a msg from xxx is waiting?
Thanks Again
Bob
Bob,
Can you paste in the code you’'re using?
Regards,
Matt

This would entirely depend on your client application. Some client apps would want to show a Swing app while others would log the message to the console, etc. Is there a particular bit of code you’'re having troubles with?

Matt
Ok Matt,
Heres the code, To be honest i’‘ve gotten most of it off this site already which has been brilliant, I was trying to use a different api but somebos=dy advised me of smack and it’'s much easier,
What i wanted to do was show a dialog to the user when the message is recieved.
this way the chat could be initialised ???
because i couldnt see the first line received untill the recieving client sends a msg,
(the sending client sends msgs but the recieving client doesnt start recieving them untill it sends a msg)
Sorry if it’'s hard to follow.
