Class GroupChatInvitation

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.smackx.GroupChatInvitation

All Implemented Interfaces:

PacketExtension

public class GroupChatInvitation
extends Object
implements PacketExtension

A group chat invitation packet extension, which is used to invite other users to a group chat room. To invite a user to a group chat room, address a new message to the user and set the room name appropriately, as in the following code example:

 Message message = new Message("user@chat.example.com");
 message.setBody("Join me for a group chat!");
 message.addExtension(new GroupChatInvitation("room@chat.example.com"););
 con.sendPacket(message);
 

To listen for group chat invitations, use a PacketExtensionFilter for the x element name and jabber:x:conference namespace, as in the following code example:

 PacketFilter filter = new PacketExtensionFilter("x", "jabber:x:conference");
 // Create a packet collector or packet listeners using the filter...
 

Note: this protocol is outdated now that the Multi-User Chat (MUC) JEP is available (JEP-45). However, most existing clients still use this older protocol. Once MUC support becomes more widespread, this API may be deprecated.
