yaxim is a Jabber/XMPP client with open source (GPLv2). Why pay for SMS if you can have unlimited messaging on your data plan?
yaxim aims at security, low overhead and keeping your server connection open. So far, it only supports a single account.
The following is already supported:
- Connection with a single XMPP server (or GTalk, or Facebook Chat, or ...)
- You are asked about self-signed SSL certificates
- Allows automatic connection after turning on your phone
- Reconnect on 3G/WiFi network change
- Chat with your buddies (all messages are stored)
- Adding/removing buddies from the roster
- Delivery receipts (XEP-0184)
- Message carbons (XEP-0280)
yaxim is written in Java and source code is maintained in git. The official
repository is pfleidi's, most development
work happens in ge0rg's repo. You will need
the Android SDK and ant to compile.
To compile yaxim, the following steps need to be taken:
# fetch source code from github
git clone git@github.com:pfleidi/yaxim.git
cd yaxim
# initialize submodules
git submodule init
git submodule update
# prepare android build (with subprojects)
android update project -p . -s
android update project -p ActionBarSherlock/library
android update project -p MemorizingTrustManager
# compile debug version
ant proguard debug
# compile release version
ant proguard release
If you are using a different build environment, consider the following things:
- You need to generate
res/values/version.xmlcontaining thebuild_versionstring. The template is inversion.xml.tpl. - Without ProGuard, the compiled binary will be around 30% larger.
