Smack-pidgin file transfer

Hi all,

I’m new to Smack (and XMPP too for that matter) so apologies if this is a newbie question…

I’m trying to send a file from my Smack-based app to Pidgin using the simple guidelines in http://www.igniterealtime.org/builds/smack/docs/latest/documentation/extensions/ index.html but I’m getting an error response:

here it is

<field type='list-multi' var='stream-method'>

 <option><value>[http://jabber.org/protocol/bytestreams](http://jabber.org/protocol/bytestreams)</value></option>

 <option><value>[http://jabber.org/protocol/ibb](http://jabber.org/protocol/ibb)</value></option>

</field>

and the following exception:

Exception in thread “AWT-EventQueue-0” java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: IQ Type not understood

I’m guessing there’s a simple fix. Do I need to register the file transfer extension with Smack before attempting the transfer? An example showing actual working code would be very appreciated!

Thanks,

Anders
