How to send Nonza with smack?
I hve a project and i need to send custom stanzas, which i assumed are called Nonzas, but so far i cant find any method to send or listen for incoming nonzas, i saw a method called sendNonza, but i was said to not be used by clients, so how does one send custom stanzas, and what implications are there if i just use the sendNonza function?

have tried extending the AbstractXmppTcpConnection to enable sending custom nonzas and listening for them also, but i dont think thats the right way to go about it

Do not use Nonzas. They are not an extension point for XMPP stanzas.

Instead, add a child element (one that uses a namespace that identifies your feature) to one of the existing stanza types (IQ, Message, or Presence).

For some background information, on how to extend XMPP stanzas, have a look at RFC 6120, specifically section 8.4.
