Greetings,

Right now I have a test activity going in Android Studio to mess
around and learn before attempting a real app. I want to be able to
read a Twitch chat from the app, so I'm trying to incorporate
Pircbotx. For reason I haven't yet figured out, it appears the
listener is not listening. Or perhaps the bot isn't connecting.
Although no exceptions or errors are being thrown.

​

So in the main activity, I have a button start the irc client for now
like so:

`Button btn2 = findViewById(R.id.ircbtn); //use R.id for the button
id`

`btn2.setOnClickListener(new View.OnClickListener() {@Overridepublic
void onClick(View v) {Log.e(" zzzzzz", "pushed irc button");try
{IRC.Connect();} catch (Exception e) {e.printStackTrace();}}});`

Then I have an IRC library, which is imported and called.

`package com.example.test;import android.util.Log;import
org.pircbotx.Configuration;import org.pircbotx.PircBotX;import
org.pircbotx.cap.EnableCapHandler;import
org.pircbotx.hooks.ListenerAdapter;import
org.pircbotx.hooks.types.GenericMessageEvent;public class IRC {`

`public static class MyListener extends ListenerAdapter
{@Overridepublic void onGenericMessage(final GenericMessageEvent
event) {Log.e(" zzzzzz", "starting get events");int cnt = 10;do
{Log.e(" zzzzzz", event.getMessage());cnt--;} while (cnt > 0);Log.e("
zzzzzz", "done receiving");}}`

`public static void Connect() throws Exception {Log.e(" zzzzzz",
"building IRC");//Configure what we want our bot to
doConfiguration.Builder configuration = new
Configuration.Builder().setAutoNickChange(false) //Twitch doesn't
support multiple users.setOnJoinWhoEnabled(false) //Twitch doesn't
support WHO command.setCapEnabled(true).addCapHandler(new
EnableCapHandler("twitch.tv/membership")) //Twitch by default doesn't
send JOIN, PART, and NAMES unless you request it, see
https://dev.twitch.tv/docs/irc/guide/#twitch-irc-
capabilities.addServer("irc.twitch.tv").setName("twp_piebot") //Your
twitch.tv username.setServerPassword("oauth:pchs-scramble-wcqe0ko22n")
//Your oauth password from
http://twitchapps.com/tmi.addAutoJoinChannel("#cohhcarnage") //Some
twitch channel.addListener(new MyListener());//The rest of your
config...//Create our bot with the configurationPircBotX bot = new
PircBotX(configuration.buildConfiguration());//Connect to the
serverLog.e(" zzzzzz", "bot starting");Log.e(" zzzzzz", "bot state: "
+ String.valueOf(bot.getState()));bot.startBot();}}`And here are the
log events:

`06-02 10:17:06.813 16682-16682/? E/ zzzzzz: on create (the start of
the program)`

`06-02 10:17:11.478 16682-16682/? E/ zzzzzz: pushed irc button`

`06-02 10:17:11.478 16682-16682/? E/ zzzzzz: building IRC`

`06-02 10:17:11.538 16682-16682/? E/ zzzzzz: bot starting`

`06-02 10:17:11.538 16682-16682/? E/ zzzzzz: bot state: INIT`

`06-02 10:23:57.141 18530-18530/? E/ zzzzzz: on create`

`06-02 10:24:13.789 18530-18530/? E/ zzzzzz: pushed irc button`

`06-02 10:24:13.819 18530-18530/? E/ zzzzzz: building IRC`

`06-02 10:24:13.919 18530-18530/? E/ zzzzzz: bot starting`

`06-02 10:24:13.919 18530-18530/? E/ zzzzzz: bot state: INIT`

​

I don't really get what is going on. As you can see, the bot starts
and then nothing happens. I can't find the user in the viewer list of
the channel. If anyone has any advice I'd appreciate it. This is the
last hurdle for me before I start making the actual app.

Hi I came across your android related issue with pircbotx. Did you
ever get it working? Thanks!

Nope. I manually made an IRC client and glad I did in the end.

I finally got it working. Here is github: [https://github.com/pircbotx
/pircbotx](https://github.com/pircbotx/pircbotx)

Apparently it only connects via SSL in default and you have to run it
in thread.
