Hi Smack Devs,
I'm developing an Android messaging application that is connected to a server running ejabberd.
My Android app is running aSmack 4.0.0, so far aSmack is helping a lot in my project, the mobile app is able to connect, authenticate, extent for custom features and send/receive packages as expected but, I've a weird problem in some scenarios that is causing an unexpected connection shutdown. I've researched about the exception but there is no information about it, so hope that someone can help me to find the problem.
Basically what it is happening is that after sent some kind of packets the smack client is trying to send this packet "</stream:stream>" causing an IllegalStateException and start the reconnection process. Please take a look into the following logs:
D/SMACK (11370): SENT (0): </stream:stream>

I'm aware of two scenarios where this is happening 1) After request time using EntityTimeManager 2) After send a message to any chat
As extra information, I'm using the PingManager to keep connection alive and that works ok until I try to send one of the packets mentioned previously.
Please help and thanks in advance!
