Answer 1

Privacy is a method for users to block communications from particular other users. In XMPP this is done by managing one's privacy lists.

1 - In order to add a new list in the server, the client MAY implement something like:

 

    // Create a privacy manager for the current connection._
    PrivacyListManager privacyManager = PrivacyListManager.getInstanceFor(myConnection);
    // Retrieve server privacy lists_
    PrivacyList[] lists = privacyManager.getPrivacyLists();

2 - In order to add a new list in the server, the client MAY implement something like:

 


// Set the name of the list_
String listName = "newList";

// Create the list of PrivacyItem that will allow or deny some privacy aspect_
String user = "tybalt@example.com";
String groupName = "enemies";
ArrayList privacyItems = new ArrayList();

PrivacyItem item = new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.jid, user, true, 1);
privacyItems.add(item);

item = new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.subscription, PrivacyItem.SUBSCRIPTION_BOTH, true, 2);
privacyItems.add(item);

item = new PrivacyItem(PrivacyItem.Type.group, groupName, false, 3);
item.setFilterMessage(true);
privacyItems.add(item);

// Get the privacy manager for the current connection._
PrivacyListManager privacyManager = PrivacyListManager.getInstanceFor(myConnection);
// Create the new list._
privacyManager.createPrivacyList(listName, privacyItems);
