If you are using MUC (XEP-45) then you can request the discussion history when entering a MUC. See XEP-45 7.2.14 Discussion History. When using (a)Smack, this mean that you have to use MultiUserChat.join(String nickname, String password, DiscussionHistory history, long timeout) to get the History.

You can get groupchat history by using following code:

DiscussionHistory history = new DiscussionHistory();
history.setMaxStanzas(0);


multiUserChat.join("username", "password", history, SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());
