Hello,

there are different ways to display an avatar image.


all of them should be supported by agsXMPP. I have no idea which Jep current client implementaions like pandion or exodus are using. And if you want to stay compatible to them.

Hi Alex.   

You it could say which to me of these is most correct to be used (agsXMPP.protocol.iq.avatar.Avatar or agsXMPP.protocol.iq.avatar.AvatarIq), and where I can use them.  I intend to only show the Avatar in form of chat, if you he will have an example I am grateful.   

Thanxs.

You need both classes because they belong to each other.

here is a example how you receive a avatar image from a contact

juliet send an avatar IQ to romeo
  1.  <iq id="jcl_13" to="romeo@jabber.org/Pandion" type="get"><query xmlns="jabber:iq:avatar"/></iq>

romeo answers the Iq and sends the avatar image to juiliet
  1. <iq id="jcl_13" to="juliet@jabber.org/Exodus" type="result" from="romeo@jabber.org/Pandion">
  2.  <query xmlns="jabber:iq:avatar">
  3.     <data>
  4.       here is the base64 encoded image
  5.     </data>
  6.  </query>
  7. </iq>

Normally clients which use avatars distribute a hash code of their avatar with the presence which looks like this:
  1. <presence from="juliet@jabber.org/Exodus" to="romeo@jabber.org">
  2.  <x xmlns="jabber:x:avatar">
  3.     <hash>1838ad4cb1c70ed5bc2966ac2c12c9b0eb86968d</hash>
  4.  </x>
  5.  <priority>8</priority>
  6. </presence>

You should store the hash. If the hash changes then the user has set a new avatar image and you have to request the image again. Normally you cache the avatars to save bandwidth and don't request them on each login.

I have a question. The value in tag "hash" is a string with 40 character but when I use hash with "sha-1"  function ( C#), return value is a byte array with 20 bytes. Must I convert 20 bytes to Hex string?
 my code here:
            Vcard vc = new Vcard();
            vc.Photo = new Photo(pictureBox1.Image, System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
            /////////////////////////////
            SHA1 sh = SHA1.Create();
            MemoryStream m = new MemoryStream();
            vc.Photo.Image.Save(m,System.Drawing.Imaging.ImageFormat.Png);
            string s = BitConverter.ToString(sh.ComputeHash(m.ToArray()));
            s.Replace("-", "");
            rtb.Text = s;
    // s is hash string in the hash tag.
is this righ?

yes, most(all) Hashes in XMPP are handled this way.
A function for this is in the agsXMPP source code. Look for HexToString at:

you should resize it. Depending on the server you are using the size is not limited. But you should allow you users only to set images with small filesize. Eg max 10K or something like that.
You can choose the image format between different type. If I remember correctlthe MiniClient detects it automatically in the vcard.
