Question

Please help, I am stuck with this issue.

Basically I am getting a AVATAR BASED VCARD i can see that in debug mode, but ASMACK is not parsing image properly. Its just dropping the tag which contains the image value.

Logcat shows the XML being received:

Here, outputting the packet in my message listener, you can see that the photo tag is dropped. I don’t know why asmack doesn’t show this.

class MyPacketListener implements PacketListener{
    public void processPacket(Packet packet){
        System.out.println("IQ Received XML : " + packet);  
        Log.i("Packet IQ", packet.toString());              
    }          
}

Here is the logcat output:

INFO/System.out(1336): <NICKNAME>TC</NICKNAME>
INFO/System.out(1336): <TITLE></TITLE>
INFO/System.out(1336): <EMAIL><HOME/><INTERNET/><PREF/><USERID>[e-mail]</USERID>

In org/jivesoftware/smackx/provider/VCardProvider.java, circa line 117, there is this line:

vCard.setEncodedImage(getTagContents(“BINVAL”));

which is incorrect. BINVAL is a child of PHOTO, not of vCard. Therefore, the image is getting set to NULL.
