|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
|
|
The first step in order to send an XHTML message is to compose it. Smack provides a special
|
|
class that helps to build valid XHTML messages hiding any low level complexity.
|
|
For special situations, advanced users may decide not to use the helper class and generate
|
|
the XHTML by themselves. Even for these situations Smack provides a well defined entry point
|
|
in order to add the generated XHTML content to a given message.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Note: not all clients are able to view XHTML formatted messages. Therefore,
|
|
it's recommended that you include a normal body in that message that is either an
|
|
unformatted version of the text or a note that XHTML support is required
|
|
to view the message contents.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
|
|
Create an instance of <i><b>XHTMLText</b></i> specifying the style and language of the body.
|
|
You can add several XHTML bodies to the message but each body should be for a different language.
|
|
Once you have an XHTMLText you can start to append tags and text to it. In order to append tags there
|
|
are several messages that you can use. For each XHTML defined tag there is a message that you can send.
|
|
In order to add text you can send the message <b>#append(String textToAppend)</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>After you have configured the XHTML text, the last step you have to do is to add the XHTML text
|
|
to the message you want to send. If you decided to create the XHTML text by yourself, you will have to
|
|
follow this last step too. In order to add the XHTML text to the message send the message
|
|
<b>#addBody(Message message, String body)</b> to the <i><b>XHTMLManager</b></i> class where <i>message</i>
|
|
is the message that will receive the XHTML body and <i>body</i> is the string to add as an XHTML body to
|
|
the message.</b></p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Example</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In this example we can see how to compose the following XHTML message: <br>
|
|
<font color="#0000FF"><body><p style='font-size:large'>Hey John, this is my new <span
|
|
style='color:green'>green</span><em>!!!!</em></p></body></font>
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre> <font color="#3f7f5f">// Create a message to send</font>
|
|
Message msg = chat.createMessage();
|
|
msg.setSubject(<font color="#0000FF">"Any subject you want"</font>);
|
|
msg.setBody(<font color="#0000FF">"Hey John, this is my new green!!!!"</font>);
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Create an XHTMLText to send with the message</font>
|
|
XHTMLText xhtmlText = new XHTMLText(null, null);
|
|
xhtmlText.appendOpenParagraphTag(<font color="#0000FF">"font-size:large"</font>);
|
|
xhtmlText.append(<font color="#0000FF">"Hey John, this is my new "</font>);
|
|
xhtmlText.appendOpenSpanTag(<font color="#0000FF">"color:green"</font>);
|
|
xhtmlText.append(<font color="#0000FF">"green"</font>);
|
|
xhtmlText.appendCloseSpanTag();
|
|
xhtmlText.appendOpenEmTag();
|
|
xhtmlText.append(<font color="#0000FF">"!!!!"</font>);
|
|
xhtmlText.appendCloseEmTag();
|
|
xhtmlText.appendCloseParagraphTag();
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Add the XHTML text to the message</font>
|
|
XHTMLManager.addBody(msg, xhtmlText.toString());

<div class="subheader"><a name="xhtmlsend">Send an XHTML Message</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
|
|
After you have composed an XHTML message you will want to send it. Once you have added
|
|
the XHTML content to the message you want to send you are almost done. The last step is to send
|
|
the message as you do with any other message.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
|
|
An XHTML message is like any regular message, therefore to send the message you can follow
|
|
the usual steps you do in order to send a message. For example, to send a message as part
|
|
of a chat just use the message <b>#send(Message)</b> of <i><b>Chat</b></i> or you can use
|
|
the message <b>#send(Packet)</b> of <i><b>XMPPConnection</b></i>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Example</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In this example we can see how to send a message with XHTML content as part of a chat.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre> <font color="#3f7f5f">// Create a message to send</font>
|
|
Message msg = chat.createMessage();
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Obtain the XHTML text to send from somewhere</font>
|
|
String xhtmlBody = getXHTMLTextToSend();
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Add the XHTML text to the message</font>
|
|
XHTMLManager.addBody(msg, xhtmlBody);
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Send the message that contains the XHTML</font>
|
|
chat.sendMessage(msg);
|
|
</pre>
|
|

<div class="subheader"><a name="xhtmlreceive">Receive an XHTML Message</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to obtain the XHTML content from a received message. Remember
|
|
that the specification defines that a message may contain several XHTML bodies
|
|
where each body should be for a different language.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
|
|
To get the XHTML bodies of a given message just send the message <b>#getBodies(Message)</b>
|
|
to the class <i><b>XHTMLManager</b></i>. The answer of this message will be an
|
|
<i><b>Iterator</b></i> with the different XHTML bodies of the message or null if none.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Example</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In this example we can see how to create a PacketListener that obtains the XHTML bodies of any received message.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre> <font color="#3f7f5f">// Create a listener for the chat and display any XHTML content</font>
|
|
PacketListener packetListener = new PacketListener() {
|
|
public void processPacket(Packet packet) {
|
|
Message message = (Message) packet;
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Obtain the XHTML bodies of the message</font>
|
|
Iterator it = XHTMLManager.getBodies(message);
|
|
if (it != null) {
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Display the bodies on the console</font>
|
|
while (it.hasNext()) {
|
|
String body = (String) it.next();
|
|
System.out.println(body);
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
};
|
|
chat.addMessageListener(packetListener);
|

<div class="subheader"><a name="xhtmldiscover">Discover support for XHTML Messages</a></div><p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Description</b><p>
|
|
|
|
Before you start to send XHTML messages to a user you should discover if the user supports XHTML messages.
|
|
There are two ways to achieve the discovery, explicitly and implicitly. Explicit is when you first try
|
|
to discover if the user supports XHTML before sending any XHTML message. Implicit is when you send
|
|
XHTML messages without first discovering if the conversation partner's client supports XHTML and depenging on
|
|
the answer (normal message or XHTML message) you find out if the user supports XHTML messages or not. This
|
|
section explains how to explicitly discover for XHTML support.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Usage</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In order to discover if a remote user supports XHTML messages send <b>#isServiceEnabled(XMPPConnection
|
|
connection, String userID)</b> to the class <i><b>XHTMLManager</b></i> where connection is the connection
|
|
to use to perform the service discovery and userID is the user to check (A fully qualified xmpp ID,
|
|
e.g. jdoe@example.com). This message will return true if the specified user handles XHTML messages.</p>
|
|
|
|
<b>Example</b><p>
|
|
|
|
In this example we can see how to discover if a remote user supports XHTML Messages.
|
|
<blockquote>
|
|
<pre> Message msg = chat.createMessage();
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Include a normal body in the message</font>
|
|
msg.setBody(getTextToSend());
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Check if the other user supports XHTML messages</font>
|
|
if (XHTMLManager.isServiceEnabled(connection, chat.getParticipant())) {
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Obtain the XHTML text to send from somewhere</font>
|
|
String xhtmlBody = getXHTMLTextToSend();
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Include an XHTML body in the message</font>
|
|
XHTMLManager.addBody(msg, xhtmlBody);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
<font color="#3f7f5f">// Send the message</font>
|
|
chat.sendMessage(msg);
|
