Answer 1

connection.setUseStreamManagement(true);

It'll enable stream management (XEP-198) on the client side.

http://xmpp.org/extensions/xep-0198.html#acking

NB: It'll only work if the server supports XEP-198.

Answer 2

1. You need to save your messages by message id, you can get the id by message.getStanzaId().

2. You have to enable stream management.

   static {
       XMPPTCPConnection.setUseStreamManagementDefault(true);
       XMPPTCPConnection.setUseStreamManagementResumptiodDefault(true);
   }
   

3. when you send out a mesage, you add an ack listener for that message, like this.

   try {
       if (mConnection.isSmEnabled()) {
           try {
               mConnection.addStanzaIdAcknowledgedListener(message.getStanzaId(), new StanzaListener() {
                   @Override
                   public void processPacket(Stanza packet) throws NotConnectedException {
                       updateMessageStatus(packet);
                   }
               });
           } catch (StreamManagementException.StreamManagementNotEnabledException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
           }
       }
       mConnection.sendStanza(message);
   } catch (NotConnectedException e) {
       e.printStackTrace();
   }
   

   Now, inside updateMessageStatus(packet) method, you find message in your database by id (packet.getStanzaId()) and update status from "pending" to "sent".

   Please take note that your server needs to enable stream management too.
