Class ChatManager

java.lang.Object
  org.jivesoftware.smack.ChatManager

public class ChatManager
extends java.lang.Object

The chat manager keeps track of references to all current chats. It will not hold any references in memory on its own so it is necessary to keep a reference to the chat object itself. To be made aware of new chats, register a listener by calling addChatListener(ChatManagerListener).
