It’s worth taking a look at the asmack library. It’s a fork from Ignite Realtime’s desktop XMPP client library, Smack, that works on Android (Ignite Realtime developed Openfire). It’s generally the most commonly used Android XMPP library as far as I’m aware.
If you’re not looking to extend XMPP in any way (it sounds like you just need simple chat) then any Android-compatible library will work with an Openfire server in the same way, that’s part of the beauty of XMPP being a protocol.
If you were going to develop desktop clients and/or extend the server in some way, then I would suggest asmack even more strongly as it would cut down on the amount you would have to relearn.
For documentation and more background info, I would suggest having a look at the original Smack website. A lot of the code in asmack is the same as Smack and the Smack javadocs are quite detailed.
