Hi,
I was working on an application but i'm stuck at a point now..
I'm able to send the chat messages but unable to receive any...
I have two threads, 1 for sending message and another for receiving but receiving part isn't working!
I think the problem is with multithreading! can anyone help me out??

The sample code provided for Smack API works fine with gTalk credentials, run that code and then modify that code according to your rerquirement.
