    // Here function for block user on xmpp

    public boolean blockUser(String userName) {

    String jid = userName@localhost
    String listName = "public";

    // Create the list of PrivacyItem that will allow or
    // deny some privacy aspect

    //ArrayList privacyItems = new ArrayList();

    List privacyItems = new Vector();


    PrivacyItem item = new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.jid, jid, false, 1);
    // item.setValue(userName);
    item.setFilterIQ(false);
    item.setFilterMessage(false);
    item.setFilterPresenceIn(false);
    item.setFilterPresenceOut(false);

    privacyItems.add(item);

    // Get the privacy manager for the current connection.

    // Create the new list.
    PrivacyListManager privacyManager = PrivacyListManager.getInstanceFor(XMPPUtils.INSTANCE.connection);


    try {
        privacyManager.updatePrivacyList(listName, privacyItems);
        privacyManager.setActiveListName(listName);

        return true;
    } catch (Exception e) {
        Log.e("PRIVACY_ERROR: ", " " + e.toString());
