                   throws SmackException.NoResponseException,

                          InterruptedException

Creates a new account using the specified username and password. The server may require a number of extra account attributes such as an email address and phone number. In that case, Smack will attempt to automatically set all required attributes with blank values, which may or may not be accepted by the server. Therefore, it's recommended to check the required account attributes and to let the end-user populate them with real values instead.

Parameters:

username - the username.

password - the password.

Throws:

XMPPException.XMPPErrorException

SmackException.NoResponseException

SmackException.NotConnectedException

InterruptedException

                          SmackException.NotConnectedException,
                          InterruptedException

Creates a new account using the specified username, password and account attributes. The attributes Map must contain only String name/value pairs and must also have values for all required attributes.

Parameters:

username - the username.

password - the password.
