Google Talk API integrations with Android app

I am checking out the google talk api's and it uses XMPP.

Here http://code.google.com/appengine/docs/java/xmpp/overview.html#Sending_Chat_Messages

I am reading on integrating it into my android app. Does anyone know of any good tutorials on using Google talk API with android?

Also does it require app-engine to be integrated?

I use python app engine for google chat to android, but I don't intercept the chat messages so they just appear as any other chat messages on the phone side - is that what you mean ? What messages are you after - are they application -> server messages that need to have a level of deliverability ? App Engine does not have to be "integrated", they are completely stand alone. – Richard Green
@coder_For_Life22 I wish to do something similar. Did you get it working? Is it possible to send an IM or make a regular phone call to a NON-XMPP user? I would like my google talk number to be displayed on caller ID instead of my real phone number when the app makes the call. – Thorn

All you need is XMPP on Android. You can then use GTalk as any other XMPP Server, but make sure to specify the full JID (e.g. "[email protected]") as login name.
