Jabber Android app truncating XHTML-IM?

Ideal Networks · ‎08-03-2015

Hi,

I am using the Smack library to compose the following message to send XHTML over Jabber to a client (line breaks added for clarity)

<message to='someuser@mydomain.com/jabber_1255782239' id='hp08j-29' type='chat'>
   <thread>connect1150626784</thread>
   <html xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/xhtml-im'>
   <body xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'>
   <span>Example text</span>
   </body>
   </html>
   <active xmlns='http://jabber.org/protocol/chatstates' />

</message>

It is received fine on Jabber Windows Clients but shows as an empty string on 3 Android devices using v11.0.1 of the app, which show the non-XHTML messages fine.

Grateful for any pointers!

Personally, I would try to reproduce this with something other than Smack, preferably a Cisco-supported API like Jabber SDK (CAXL). That would eliminate Smack as the potential problem, or identify Smack as the problem.

I suppose a strong possibility is that the Jabber Android clients simply do not support rendering HTML, by design/limitation...
