I am about to create a simple xmpp java client application and for this I am considering to use the Smack XMPP library, which works pretty well.
One feature of the client should be to send inline images to your chatpartner. I browsed through the javadoc of SMACK but I was not able to find how it's possible to send images or in general binary data with SMACK/XMPP. I am not talking about a standard file transfer that the receiving user has to accept, but rather an image which can be sent within a message. Is this possible with SMACK/XMPP? Can anybody provide an example?
You can just make it accepted by default (the user won't be prompted) by using smth like:
final FileTransferManager manager = new FileTransferManager(connection); //Use your xmpp connection
manager.addFileTransferListener(new FileTransferListener() {
public void fileTransferRequest(FileTransferRequest request) {
IncomingFileTransfer transfer = request.accept();
try {
InputStream input = transfer.recieveFile();
//This will be a binary stream and you can process it. Create image and display it inline in your chat app.
} catch (XMPPException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
