Entity Jid and DomainBareJid is required

I am a beginner to smack. Trying to connect to server and send a test text message. stuck here with errors shown in red.

try {

XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.Builder configBuilder = XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration.builder();

configBuilder.setUsernameAndPassword(“username”, “password”);

configBuilder.setResource(“SomeResource”);

//Error shown here >>> setServiceName (org.jxmpp.jid.DomainBareJid) in Builder cannot be applied to (java.lang.String)

configBuilder.setServiceName(“servername”);

AbstractXMPPConnection connection = new XMPPTCPConnection(configBuilder.build());

connection.connect();

connection.login();

// Assume we’ve created an XMPPConnection name “connection”._
ChatManager chatmanager = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(connection);

//Error shown here >>> (Wrong 1st argument type. Found: ‘java.lang.String’, required: 'org.jxmpp.jid.EntityJid)

Chat newChat = chatmanager.createChat(“to”, chatListener);

newChat.sendMessage(“Howdy!”);

} catch (SmackException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (IOException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (XMPPException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

} catch (InterruptedException e) {

e.printStackTrace();

}

import org.jivesoftware.smack.tcp.XMPPTCPConnectionConfiguration;

Simply use the JidCreate API.

jid= JidCreate.from(“text”);

used this code if you have used smack versiob 4.2.1 or above

EntityBareJid jid = JidCreate.entityBareFrom(“jid”);
