I want to create an android chat application using smack api and talk.google.com server but the problem is that when I create a connection to Smack API using gmail id and password and check my user name using "connection.getuser()" my id is showm in following format "[email protected]/Smack_(some smack id)".Now if I send a message from my app using another phone to "[email protected]" it is not recieved but if I send it to "[email protected]/Smack_(same smack id)" it is properly recieved.
The smack id being appended is random and changes everytime I connect so it is impossible for me to obtain it by any means and thus message cannot be sent,so how can I overcome this problem.
The code for my ChatActivity is:
