How to use ejabberd in android?

Question

I want to use jabberd in an android app. I installed the ejabberd server, but the ejabberd client does not work. Which one is the best ejabberd client?

Answer 1

ejabberd is strictly an implementation of the XMPP / Jabber server. There is no such thing as an ejabberd client. To interact with ejabberd, any XMPP / Jabber client can be used. Examples include Psi , Pidgin , etc.

You seem a little confused by the whole idea of ​​XMPP / Jabber. If you are interested, I highly recommend reading the XMPP: The Definitive Guide to fully understand the concepts behind it, how to use it, and even how to implement your own client. In the book, they use Python with SleekXMPP for their implementation examples, but there are many libraries for many languages.

Here are some fairly detailed lists of XMPP client and XMPP libraries .

EDIT: I missed the fact that you will be using Android. You can use aSmack for your own Android application or implement webapp using JavaScript with Strophe.js .

Answer 2

Which one is the best ejabberd client?

You meant:

Which one is the best XMPP client?

I personally believe that Xabber and Beem may be the best Android XMPP clients at the time of this writing, Jabiru and Yaxim are following me, I don’t need others or are not interested.
