Smack 4.1.3 Crash

Flameater_Flameater · July 16, 2015, 10:59am

Hi guys, I’m getting Smack crashes consistently on various combinations of platforms and versions that it’s truly mind boggling

Platforms (crash on either one of both)

a. Android SDK 22

b. Java 8

Smack versions (crash either one of both)

a. Smack 4.1.3

b. Smack 4.2.0 Alpha

Code runs Smack in an independent thread, just to be safe. Despite that, Smack would crash upon instantiation of any Smack object even before any invocation of method is carried, refer source code below

Crash upon initialization of XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder connconfig = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder(); //Crash here, because the rest of codes are commented out below
//connconfig.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);
//connconfig.setUsernameAndPassword(strUserId+ “@” + strServer, strPassword);
//connconfig.setServiceName(strServer);
//connconfig.setHost(strServer);
//connconfig.setPort(5222);
//connconfig.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
//connconfig.setSocketFactory(SSLSocketFactory.getDefault());

/*
mConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());
try {
mConnection.connect();
} catch (SmackException | IOException | XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
*/

Alternatively, Smack would crash upon initialization of

ConnectionConfiguration connconfig = new ConnectionConfiguration(strServer); //Crash here, because the rest of codes are commented out below
// connconfig.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
// XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(connconfig);

/*
try {
connection.connect();
} catch (XMPPException e) {
retStr = e.getMessage();
}

// Most servers require you to login before performing other tasks.
try {
connection.login(strUserId, strPassword);
}
catch (XMPPException e) {
retStr = e.getMessage();
}

*/

Apart from my own projects, the Xabber source codes would also crash upon initialization of Smack objects.

I couldn’t find anyone else having crashes so widespread like these - different platforms, different Smack versions, different Smack entry points. I’m stumped now for ideas, hope someone can see some light to this.

Thanks in advance!

Erhm, and the crash manifests as? Uncaught Exception? Deadlock? Segfault?

Did you read and follow the instructions of the Smack 4.1 Readme?

Flameater_Flameater · July 16, 2015, 3:57pm

Yes, I believe I have complied with it the following ways as shown in the codes above

XMPPConnection is now an abstract class, I am using mConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build()); to intantiate XMPPConnection. It crashes upon intantiating the XMPPTCPConnection class.
ConnectionConfiguration uses the Builder pattern. My code uses XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder connconfig = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder() to set the connection parameters

Additionally, some other posts suggest to avoid creating the connection in the main thread which can crash upon a slow/ heavy connection, so my code creates the connection in a separate thread as follows (refer further below). The new thread runs fine if I comment out the instantiation of either or both of XMPTCPConnection and/or XMPTCPConnectionConfiguration. When I do instantiate any of these two objects as mentioned in points 1 and 2 above, the application crashes.

As the error trace shows, the error is due to java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError

Failed resolution of: Ljavax/naming/directory/InitialDirContext;

at org.jivesoftware.smack.util.dns.javax.JavaxResolver.(JavaxResolver.java :50)

So this is in the Smack library itself, not in my code. I am puzzled as to why others are not affected by the same problem as I am facing. I am using the Smack 4.1.3 library (jar files) downloaded from IgniteRealtime.org. Alternatively, I set references of dependencies for using Smack 4.2.0 Alpha directly from the online repository and the same crash still happens. The Build dependencies are shown further below this reply.

Independent thread for connecting to XMPP server as follows

class DoThread implements Runnable {

String strServer = “”;

String strUserId = “”;

String strPassword = “”;

public String retStr = “”;

DoThread(String pServer, String pUserid, String pPassword) {

this.strServer = pServer;

this.strUserId=pUserid;

this.strPassword=pPassword;

}

public void run() {

//Context context = getApplicationContext();
//SmackAndroid.init(context);

String retStr = “”;

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder connconfig = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder(); //Crash here, because the rest of codes are commented out below - if line this is commented out no crash takes place
//connconfig.setSecurityMode(ConnectionConfiguration.SecurityMode.disabled);
//connconfig.setUsernameAndPassword(strUserId+ “@” + strServer, strPassword);
//connconfig.setServiceName(strServer);
//connconfig.setHost(strServer);
//connconfig.setPort(5222);
//connconfig.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
//connconfig.setSocketFactory(SSLSocketFactory.getDefault());

/*
mConnection = new XMPPTCPConnection(config.build());
try {
mConnection.connect();
} catch (SmackException | IOException | XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
*/

// ConnectionConfiguration connconfig = new ConnectionConfiguration(strServer); //Crash here, because the rest of codes are commented out below - if line this is commented out no crash takes place
// connconfig.setDebuggerEnabled(true);
// XMPPConnection connection = new XMPPConnection(connconfig);

/*
try {
connection.connect();
} catch (XMPPException e) {
retStr = e.getMessage();
}

// Most servers require you to login before performing other tasks.
try {
connection.login(strUserId, strPassword);
}
catch (XMPPException e) {
retStr = e.getMessage();
}

Thanks for helping out.

I have tried other dependencies, going backward in versions to match the ones exactly on XMPP 4.1 readme, as follows as the app still crashes with the same errors

It appears you pull smack-resolver-javax somehow in your class path. There is no reason to add Smack as jar files to a gradle build project, simply define the dependencies as shown in the Readme.

Flameater_Flameater · July 16, 2015, 5:47pm

Moving the dependencies further backwards from Smack 4.1.3 to Smack 4.1.1 gives the following error on Gradle build

AGPBI: {“kind”:“SIMPLE”,“text”:“com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/jivesoftware/smack/android/AndroidSmackInitializer;”,“position”:{},“origin al”:“com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/jivesoftware/smack/android/AndroidSmackInitializer;”}

The dependencies follow the ones in Smack 4.1 Readme files exactly (Smack 4.1 Readme and Upgrade Guide · igniterealtime/Smack Wiki · GitHub - using Eclipse section) as follows

dependencies {

compile fileTree(include: [‘*.jar’], dir: ‘libs’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android-extensions:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-core:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-tcp:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-extensions:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-experimental:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-resolver-minidns:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-sasl-provided:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.1.1’)

compile(‘org.jxmpp:jxmpp-core:0.4.2-beta1’)

compile(‘org.jxmpp:jxmpp-util-cache:0.4.2-beta1’)

compile(‘de.measite.minidns:minidns:0.1.1’)

compile ‘com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0’
}

}

This produces a compilation error revolving around

AGPBI: {“kind”:“SIMPLE”,“text”:“com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/jivesoftware/smack/android/AndroidSmackInitializer;”,“position”:{},“origin al”:“com.android.dex.DexException: Multiple dex files define Lorg/jivesoftware/smack/android/AndroidSmackInitializer;”}

How do I resolve the duplication error - do I need to remove any of the dependencies suggested by Smack 4.1 Readme file - which dependency should be removed?

Thanks

Flameater_Flameater · July 16, 2015, 5:51pm

Thanks Flow, I have removed all Smack jar files from my dependencies and now the dependencies are as shown in my reply below this. I am now getting a duplicate declaration error for AndroidSmackIntializer as shown in the reply below.

Flameater_Flameater · July 16, 2015, 5:59pm

Hi again Flow, I have managed to recompile the project successfully by

Changing the dependencies from Smack 4.1.3 to Smack 4.1.1, and
Deleting all Smack jar files from the libs directory as you pointed out

At this moment it appears that using Smack 4.1.1 does not produce the crashes as before. I am still trying things and hopefully everything works at which point I can wrap up this case and summarise what works.

Thank you again.

Flameater_Flameater · July 16, 2015, 8:11pm

I would like to thank Flow for helping to troubleshoot this problem. His proddings into the right direction has been instrumental in resolving this problem. To recap, initially Smack would crash upon initialization of objects defined in the Smack API. The solution was resolved by the following

Downgrading from Smack 4.2.0 to Smack 4.3.1
Using the dependencies as shown below (and clearing the lib directory too!)

dependencies {

compile fileTree(include: [’*.jar’], dir: ‘libs’)

compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android:4.1.1’
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-android-extensions:4.1.1’
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-core:4.1.1’

compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-resolver-minidns:4.1.1’
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-sasl-provided:4.1.1’
compile 'org.igniterealtime.smack:smack-im:4.1.1’
compile 'org.jxmpp:jxmpp-core:0.4.2-beta1’
compile 'org.jxmpp:jxmpp-util-cache:0.4.2-beta1’
compile 'de.measite.minidns:minidns:0.1.1’
compile ‘com.android.support:appcompat-v7:22.2.0’
}

I am having a different sort of problem, but the problem of crashes when Smack objects are initialized are solved for now.

The new problem is that I am getting a Socket Fail, EACCES (permission denied) error - but that’s another story. For those who wish to refer to my source code, here it is, creating a connection on a separate thread using a Callable object (instead of Runnable) and returning a confirmation (or error message) upon successful (or failed connection).

You can and should remove all dependencies besides

smack-tcp
smack-android-extensions
smack-experimental

Every other dependency is either a direct or transitive dependencies of those.

Exactly the same problem and looking for solution!
