Answer 1

Create On Class MMessageListener to listen incoming messages

private class MMessageListener implements MessageListener, ChatStateListener {

    public MMessageListener(Context contxt) {
    }


    @Override
    public void stateChanged(Chat chat, ChatState chatState) {

        mStatus = "Online";

        if (ChatState.composing.equals(chatState)) {

            mStatus = chat.getParticipant() + " is typing..";
            Log.d("Chat State", chat.getParticipant() + " is typing..");
        } else if (ChatState.gone.equals(chatState)) {
            Log.d("Chat State", chat.getParticipant() + " has left the conversation.");
            mStatus = chat.getParticipant() + " has left the conversation.";
        } else if (ChatState.paused.equals(chatState)){
            Log.d("Chat State", chat.getParticipant() + ": " + chatState.name());
            mStatus = "Paused";
        }else if (ChatState.active.equals(chatState)){
            mStatus = "Online";
        }

        // do whatever you want to do once you receive status


    }


    @Override
    public void processMessage(Message message) {

    }

    @Override
    public void processMessage(Chat chat, Message message) {


    }
}

Add Listener to your chat object

Chat Mychat = ChatManager.getInstanceFor(connection).createChat( "user2@localhost"), mMessageListener);

Send status to receiving user on edittext text change

ChatStateManager.getInstance(connection).setCurrentState(ChatState.composing, Mychat);

This works fine for me.
