I am trying to establish a connection with Smack to Firebase Cloud Messaging CCS. I am having problems with the following protected Smack Interfaces. I dont know exactly why are these interfaces being called for?
See below how I establish my configuration builder object and my connection:
configBuilder = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();
configBuilder.setServiceName("192.168.1.74").setHost("fcm- xmpp.googleapis.com").setUsernameAndPassword(s1, s2) .setPort(5236).setSendPresence(false).setCompressionEnabled(false).setCustomSSLContext(contexty)
other_connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(configBuilder.build());
//other_connection object is an AbstractXMPPConnection object
The android/smack code tries to connect but fails to do so. Here are the exceptions: Do note that my SSlcontext object has been initialized with keymanagerfactory that contains a key store who holds valid certificates validated by a certificate authority.
Exceptions:

As you can see the Smack classes that are giving problems are: protected class XMPPTCPConnection.PacketReader and protected class XMPPTCPConnection.PacketWriter What is the Bufferedreader mentioned in the exception trying to read? An XML reply from FCM CCS? Should I authenticate this connection before trying to connect? Is that what is going on here that when I try to connect without authenticating the connection object is trying to authenticate itself and the XML packets are being sent to these protected classes of Smack library? How can I get these XML documents that are being possibly sent for authentication purposes, if they are really being sent by FCM CCS?
thanks for any advice or suggestion
Okay everyone:
All I was missing here to get rid of the errors was an SSLsocket object. Since, I don't know much about sockets and machine to machine connections, I had no clue. After much reading, I realized I was missing this object. Errors are gone now that the connection can flow between my Android code and FCM CCS. so I just added this method call to my configBuilder object:
.setSocketFactory(contexty.getSocketFactory());
But, I am running into new errors that deal with SASLAuthentication using Smack. I will be posting a question on those errors soon. Seems I am getting closer to establishing a viable connection/login to FCM CCS.
