How to get "both" subscription type in openfire

Question

I am developing a simple android chat application.I am creating three users using asmack one by one and also providing roster entries at creation time using roster.createEntry(); method

first of all i create

1.) user 111 with two roster entries ([email protected],[email protected])

then I create second user

2.)user 222 with two roster entries ([email protected],[email protected])

then I create user 333

3.) 333 with two roster entries ([email protected],[email protected])

here when I see roster entries of all three users then

for user 111

Subscription type for

                  [email protected] : "from"

                  [email protected] : "from"

for user 222

Subscription type for

                  [email protected] : "to"

                  [email protected] : "from"

for user 333

Subscription type for

                  [email protected] : "to"

                  [email protected] : "to"

So my problem is although all three users are online But the Presence is as follow

a.) 111 is "available" for 222 and 333

b.) 222 is "available" for only 333

c.) 333 is not available for any user

clearly this is due to "from" status .But I want that as all are online and all are added into each others roster list, so I need subscription status "both" for all three users roster list.So they will be "available" for each other if they are online.

Please help me how can I achieve this.

Its very simple. Open the openfire console open users tab.select a user. open the user's roster.In roster select any entry and then open.edit properties of that particular entry. In the edit window, there is a option to set subscription, there a dropdown list will appear, select "both". Now u'll recieve roster presence in your application.
