Open-source XMPP client for Android

Xabber - XMPP client for Android

Open source Jabber (XMPP) client with multi-account support, clean and simple interface. Being both free (as in freedom!) and ad-free, Xabber is designed to be the best Jabber client for Android.

Build instructions

1. Prepare

Xabber uses Gradle build system. The only specific thing is git submodule for MemorizingTrustManager library. To make it work use following commands:

git submodule sync
git submodule init
git submodule update --remote

And MemorizingTrustManager would be cloned to your local repository.

2. Build

To build Xabber use "open" productFlavour. Another flavour called "store" require api keys that not represented in this repository.

No auto-away while on "do not disturb"

If I set my status to "do not disturb" and switch off display after that, then the aut-away setting switches my status back to "away" what's uncool, as I do not want to get disturbed.

It would be fine if the auto-away would not act if the status is dnd.

Support for XEP-0146 would be nice! At the current state, it's impossible to forward unread messages from a xabber-instance to e.g. Gajim.

It is possible to support automated testing using travis CI with android

see: http://levi-wilson.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/maven-android-travis-ci-and-more.html

Option to automatically close chat

I use jabber not only for conversations but also as an alert system from various sources. All of these alerts are read only chats, and I delete the messages and close the chat once read. What I therefore purpose is an option to automatically close a chat with no remaining message history.
