AndroidIM

##Android Instant Messaging Application

###Features

User registration
User authentication
Adding a new friend by username
Approving a friend
Messaging with a friend in list
Shows online and offline users
Runs a background service in order to get messages even when the application is closed.
Uses notification area when a new message is received.
Quiting the application(kills the background service) 

###How to:

WebAPI:
    There is a folder whose name is "android-im_WEBAPI", copy all files under "android-im" folder to a folder in            
    your web server directory, 
    for instance android-im that can be accessed by http://192.168.7.5/android-im/ (192.168.7.5 is the IP address of 
    computer which runs apache and mysql, 
    use local network IP address instead of using localhost or 127.0.0.1).
    Open the index.php and enter database connectivity parameters such as host, username, password etc. write 
    error_reporting(0) in top of index.php
    Create the tables in mysql database with the included android_im.sql
    
Android APP:
    set AUTHENTICATION_SERVER_ADDRESS in socketOperator, it must be the address where server folder are located,
    for our example it is http://192.168.7.5/android-im/ (don't use localhost)
    
Then run your application in Eclipse with ADT plugin.
it can be learned how to install Android SDK and ADT plugin.

How to detect that msg is read by the friend.

I want to detect the read messages which was sent by me...

The database has the "read" and "readdt" field.

Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)

java.lang.NullPointerException: Attempt to invoke virtual method 'boolean java.lang.String.equals(java.lang.Object)' on a null object reference

User registration

doesn't jump back to Login Screen on successful registration

Messages to Offline Useres

Messages which are sent to a offline user end up to appear twice in the SQLite when comming online!

(Problem is SQLite Insert is called on 2 different parts --> has to be on message receiver handler)

server ip address

I changed the socketoperator class to my wireless network connection ip:

1. private static final String AUTHENTICATION_SERVER_ADDRESS = "http://192.168.x.x/android-im/";
   but app still crashes in sign up page

are there any more changes i have to include in order to make it run:
changing my ip to static? port forwarding? or changing some settings on the emulator itself??

why slow messaging with real server

I made a apk from your Git.

but when I msg from a device to another device.

it is very very slow. takes abt 10 seconds. do you know what is problem?

I worked with my Cloud server. not with desktop pc.(when I worked with my local IP, it is so fast)

private static final String AUTHENTICATION_SERVER_ADDRESS = "http://14.63.220.110/android-im/index.php";

your youtube is so fast but it is in local AVD.

messaging cant perform

I send message throw users after made them friends but nothing happens .I try to debug and it enters the loop everytime
if (result.length() == 0) {
result = HTTP_REQUEST_FAILED;
} // this line of code is from SocketOperator class
even if the result.length isnt 0 for example is 1 so any help plz

For those who can't register new user.

The reason is pretty simple:
Android-IM Web API doesn't have any code that creates new tables in database, so you have to create them yourself based on queries, that "index.php" makes through "mysql.class.php".
Queries for table creating are in "android-im.sql" but it is not called from any part of code.

For fixing, just add this to "index.php" right before "switch($action)":

$createUsers = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS users (
Id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
username varchar(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
password varchar(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
email varchar(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',

status tinyint(3) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
authenticationTime datetime NOT NULL DEFAULT '0000-00-00 00:00:00',
userKey varchar(32) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
IP varchar(45) NOT NULL DEFAULT '',
port int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (Id),
UNIQUE KEY Index_2 (username),
KEY Index_3 (authenticationTime)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 AUTO_INCREMENT=7";

$createFriends = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS friends (
Id int(10) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
providerId int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
requestId int(10) unsigned NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
status binary(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
PRIMARY KEY (Id),
UNIQUE KEY Index_3 (providerId,requestId),
KEY Index_2 (providerId,requestId,status)
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 COMMENT='providerId is the Id of the users who wish to be friend with' AUTO_INCREMENT=7";

$createMessages = "CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS messages (
id int(255) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
fromuid int(255) NOT NULL,
touid int(255) NOT NULL,
sentdt datetime NOT NULL,
read tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
readdt datetime DEFAULT NULL,
messagetext longtext CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (id),

) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1 AUTO_INCREMENT=22";

$db->query($createUsers);
$db->query($createFriends);
$db->query($createMessages);

Should include license information

Hi, it seems there are no license terms included with the code.

From the google code page it looks like the license was GPLv3.

You can download the GPLv3 license text from https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.txt and put it next to README.md.
For more instructions see: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html
, or: https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html (scroll down to How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs)

Without license information, further development becomes difficult.
