Answer 1

try this ...

public boolean blockFriend(String friendName) {

    PrivacyItem item=new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.jid,friendName, false, 7);
    PrivacyListManager privacyManager = PrivacyListManager.getInstanceFor(connection);
    List list=new ArrayList();
    list.add(item);

    try {
        privacyManager.updatePrivacyList(NEWLIST, list);
        privacyManager.setActiveListName(NEWLIST);
        return true;
    } catch (SmackException.NoResponseException |XMPPException.XMPPErrorException | SmackException.NotConnectedException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
        return false;
    }


}

and for unblock just replace false with true in object of privacyitem `
