public class Privacy extends IQ
A Privacy IQ Packet, is used by the PrivacyListManager and PrivacyProvider to allow and block communications from other users. It contains the appropriate structure to suit user-defined privacy lists. Different configured Privacy packages are used in the server and manager communication in order to:
  • Retrieving one's privacy lists.
  • Adding, removing, and editing one's privacy lists.
  • Setting, changing, or declining active lists.
  • Setting, changing, or declining the default list (i.e., the list that is active by default).
Privacy Items can handle different kind of blocking communications based on JID, group, subscription type or globally PrivacyItem

    • getIQChildElementBuilder

      Description copied from class: IQ
      This method must be overwritten by IQ subclasses to create their child content. It is important you don't use the builder to add the final end tag. This will be done automatically by IQ.IQChildElementXmlStringBuilder after eventual existing ExtensionElements have been added.

      For example to create an IQ with a extra attribute and an additional child element

       
       <iq to='foo@example.org' id='123'>
         <bar xmlns='example:bar' extraAttribute='blaz'>
            <extraElement>elementText</extraElement>
         </bar>
       </iq>
       
       
      the body of the getIQChildElementBuilder looks like
       
       // The builder 'xml' will already have the child element and the 'xmlns' attribute added
       // So the current builder state is "<bar xmlns='example:bar'"
       xml.attribute("extraAttribute", "blaz");
       xml.rightAngleBracket();
       xml.element("extraElement", "elementText");
       // Do not close the 'bar' attribute by calling xml.closeElement('bar')
       
       
      If your IQ only contains attributes and no child elements, i.e. it can be represented as empty element, then you can mark it as such.
       xml.attribute("myAttribute", "myAttributeValue");
       xml.setEmptyElement();
       
      If your IQ does not contain any attributes or child elements (besides ExtensionElements), consider sub-classing SimpleIQ instead.
      Specified by:
      getIQChildElementBuilder in class IQ
      Parameters:
      buf - a pre-created builder which already has the child element and the 'xmlns' attribute set.
      Returns:
      the build to create the IQ child content.
