Not parsing vCard correctly about asmack HOT 15 CLOSED

The sysout is caused by
http://github.com/rtreffer/smack/blob/master/source/org/jivesoftware/smackx/pack
et/VCard.java#L540

You ran into a ClassCastException on
result = (VCard) 
collector.nextResult(SmackConfiguration.getPacketReplyTimeout());

This means that the collector received an response but couldn't build a 
package. A
common symptom for a missing PacketExtension. "vCard" in the "vcard-temp" 
namespace
has to be associated with a vCard-parser.

https://svn.igniterealtime.org/svn/repos/smack/trunk/build/resources/META-INF/sm
ack.providers
    <iqProvider>
        <elementName>vCard</elementName>
        <namespace>vcard-temp</namespace>
        <className>org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider</className> 
    </iqProvider>

In code:
ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

Have fun!

Set do DONE because I think it's that problem. please reopen and provide more
information if I'm wrong.

Thank you, that solved the issue :)
I think that this suggestion should be added to the javadoc of the VCard class.
Bye!

Please help me, i have the same issue, but inserting line

ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new  
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

nothing changes. Where should I put this string,before connection.connnect() or 
just before vCard.load(connection) ???
thanks in advance!

Im unable to get Friends profile picture using this.. can anyone please list 
out the steps what to do ?

I am getting same error as was mentioned above.

I met the same issue which was resolved by adding the VCardProvider. Thank you 
rtreffer!

When I call vcard.getAvatar, the resulting array is not a picture of the array. 
How to get friends pictures? Please help,Thanks.

@[email protected] Thanks a lot.

It works pretty well when I added

ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

before

vcard.load(this.connection, user);

I used the code 
ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

but it still doesn't work, any help?

Adding the IQProvider DOESN'T work for me too.
ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new
org.jivesoftware.smackx.provider.VCardProvider());

I'm getting this in logcat:
SENT (1102292544): <iq id="2hh9b-8" from="[email protected]/Smack" 
type="get"><vCard xmlns='vcard-temp'/></iq>

RCV  (1102292544): <iq id='2hh9b-8' type='error' 
to='[email protected]/Smack'><error type='cancel'><item-not-found

I/System.out(14075): No VCard for [email protected]/Smack

E/AndroidRuntime(14075): java.lang.NullPointerException: expected receiver of 
type org.jivesoftware.smackx.packet.VCard, but got null

Hi I am using 'asmack:asmack:8-4.0.2' and while loading the vcard with null 
Avatar it crashes the App with following error 
 java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jivesoftware.smack.util.PacketParserUtils$2 cannot be cast to org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard
            at org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard.doLoad(VCard.java:560)
            at org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard.load(VCard.java:542)

Although the same App with no changes in it works fine when Avatar is set to 
something.
Don't know how to fix above solution doesn't work.
Thanks

any one with a solution for this : 
 java.lang.ClassCastException: org.jivesoftware.smack.util.PacketParserUtils$2 cannot be cast to org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard
            at org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard.doLoad(VCard.java:560)
            at org.jivesoftware.smackx.vcardtemp.packet.VCard.load(VCard.java:542)

I just Got it worked when i changed my code here

ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", "vcard-temp", new 
VCardProvider()); to ProviderManager.getInstance().addIQProvider("vCard", 
"vcard-temp:x:update", new VCardProvider());
