Concernant les MUST features:
Tout est OK pour moi, excepté l'histoire de room.
Je pense que l'on doit se focaliser uniquement sur les room de type "Hidden Room".
Tout ce qui concerne les rooms publiques, avec modérations, semi-privés etc doivent être tout simplement oubliées pour le moment.

N'oublions pas que le but de l'EIP reste de la VOIP, et a la limite de la vidéo.
Le MUC reste interessant seulement dans le cas ou l'on part uniquement dans l'idée de faire du MUC style MSN, et ou le développement n'est pas conséquent.
Quand je vois la montagne que c'est de proposer une DialogBox, j'imagine pas pour une implémentation complète du MUC. Restons tout de même prudent.

Pour finir concernant les MAY features:
  1. Invite an user to his room
  2. Converting 1 to 1 chat into multi user chat

Je ne vois que ces deux la qui peuvent s'intégrer rapidement et qui semblent même logiques.

Hi all,

You can find enclosed a patch adding MUC feature to Beem.

All the MUST features are implemented (a room is created when you join a unexistant room, and destroyed when it is empty)

About the MAY features, only the private messages are implemented, and there certainly are still bugs

To join a MUC, you need to show the menu in the buddies list, and click on MUC. A dialog will ask you the room and your nickname.
Another way is to add the MUC JID in your contact list and then show the contextual menu of this contact, then click on "Join as MUC" (it is quite dirty, better would be to implement bookmarks (XEP-0048)).

This patch is my first code for Android (I needed MUC and I prefer Beem from the other jabber clients), so the code may be a little bit dirty, but it works :)

Salut à tous,

Je vous soumets un patch ajoutant le support des salons MUC dans Beem.

Il respecte toutes les MUST (la création d'un MUC se fait en rejoignant un MUC non existant, et le salon se détruit si il n'y a plus personne dedans).

Concernant les MAY, seuls les messages privés sont implémentées, et encore il doit rester quelques bugs...

Pour rejoindre un MUC, il suffit de faire apparaître le menu dans la liste des contacts, et cliquer sur MUC. Une fenetre s'ouvrira et permettra de regler le nom de la salle et le pseudo voulu.
Une autre solution est de rajouter la salle dans ses contacts, puis de faire apparaitre le menu contextuel et cliquer sur "Join as MUC" (ce n'est pas très propre, il faudrait implementrer les bookmarks (XEP-0048)).

Ce patch est ma première expérience Android (j'avais besoin du MUC et je prefère Beem aux autres clients Jabber), donc tout ne doit pas être propre, néanmoins, ca marche :)

I just test it a few minutes and it seems to work fine. I will look at the code this week end. but anyway it is a great contribution which will make lot of people happy.
Good job.
PS : Sur le bug tracker on essaie de parler anglais juste pour les nombreux anglophones.

Since a lot of users request it, I upload an apk patched with the muc.patch . Use at your own risk.
We have not start to clean it because we are working on other things for the moment.
But I'll be glad to help Alexandre to improve this patch so we can integrate it soon.

Hi,

Here is attached the patch to add MUC support in Beem 0.1.5.
The patch was adapted by Antoine Pierlot-Garcin <antoine at bokbox dot com>.
In addition to this patch, I have added the support of highlights that wasn't in my previous patch.

In Beem, we are contourning this bug by loading the smack extensions manually during the initialization of the application. So this is not really impacting us.

Hey, is anything in particular blocking this patch from getting merged?

I'm not much of a developer, but I've got enough experience that I was able to port Alexandre Chataignon's 015 patch to the latest HG revision, r969. See attached.

For those wishing to try it out, I've attached the APK above. For those who want to build one themselves, here's what I did:
hg clone -u 969 beem
cd beem
patch -p0 < add_muc_to_r969.patch
android update project -p . target <your target>
ant debug

I built against android-15 (ICS 4.0.3) and it's working pretty well.

Known issues:
  • Crashes if I attempt to enter a chat room with a space in the name rather than handling it gracefully.
  • When the phone sleeps, it disconnects me from the MUC rather than leaving it open to receive messages, etc.
