Answer 1

However you can get it from ProcessPacket also. there you will get a Message object, after you can extract xml portion from there and handle them its contain specific chatstate or not.

    Message message = (Message) packet;
    String msg_xml = message.toXML().toString();

    if (msg_xml.contains(ChatState.composing.toString())) {
        //handle is-typing, probably some indication on screen
    } else if (msg_xml.contains(ChatState.paused.toString())) {
        // handle "stopped typing"
    } else {
       // normal msg
    }

now handle as per your requirement.

Just add ChatStateManager after ChatManager intalization:

chatManager =  ChatManager.getInstanceFor(getXmpptcpConnection());
ChatStateManager.getInstance(getXmpptcpConnection());

Then you need to add ChatStateListener during createChat(to,chatMesageListener):

chatManager.createChat(message.getTo(), chatMessageListener).sendMessage(message);

private ChatStateListener chatMessageListener = new ChatStateListener() {

    @Override
    public void stateChanged(Chat chat, ChatState state) {
        //State Change composing,active,paused,gone,etc
        Log.d(TAG, "ChatStateListener:::stateChanged -> " + chat.toString() + " \n -> " + state.toString());
    }

    @Override
    public void processMessage(Chat chat, Message message) {
        //Incoming Message
        Log.d(TAG, "ChatStateListener:::processMessage -> " + chat.toString() + " \n -> " + message.toString());
    }
};
