public class Time
extends IQ

A Time IQ packet, which is used by XMPP clients to exchange their respective local times. Clients that wish to fully support the entitity time protocol should register a PacketListener for incoming time requests that then respond with the local time. This class can be used to request the time from other clients, such as in the following code snippet:

 // Request the time from a remote user.
 Time timeRequest = new Time();
 timeRequest.setType(IQ.Type.GET);
 timeRequest.setTo(someUser@example.com/resource);

 // Create a packet collector to listen for a response.
 PacketCollector collector = con.createPacketCollector(
                new PacketIDFilter(timeRequest.getPacketID()));

 con.sendPacket(timeRequest);

 // Wait up to 5 seconds for a result.
 IQ result = (IQ)collector.nextResult(5000);
 if (result != null && result.getType() == IQ.Type.RESULT) {
     Time timeResult = (Time)result;
     // Do something with result...
 }

Warning: this is an non-standard protocol documented by XEP-0090. Because this is a non-standard protocol, it is subject to change.
