[NSClassFromString(@"AddressBookPeople") loadBuddyList];
[NSClassFromString(@"DaemonicService") connectToDaemonWithLaunch:YES];
IMService *service=[IMService mostLoggedInService];
int chatstatus=[service serviceLoginStatus];
Just another note, you should be careful with the above, since the most
logged in service is likely to be Rendezvous, not AIM. If you want AIM
(or any other service, if you're forward thinking), you should use
[[IMService aimService] serviceLoginStatus] or similar as appropriate
(you can also get the Rendezvous one specifically using
"subnetService").
Note that you can also use just [IMService myStatus] to determine the
actual available/away status, once you've determined there is at least
one online service.
You can also remove the connectToDaemonWithLaunch bit... that makes no
difference.... I think loadBuddyList does that implicitly as necessary.
FWIW, also, the codes are, for the serviceLoginStatus method:
0 - Offline
3 - Connecting
4 - Online
The codes for myStatus are:
1 - Offline
3 - Away (or any variation thereof)
4 - Available (or any variation thereof)
Obviously there's a few missing values, but I can't figure out what
they are - I can't find any way to produce them.
What hasn't been considered so far is when the daemon isn't running -
you probably don't want to launch it. I think you should be able to
call connectToDaemonWithLaunch:NO before anything else, and it will
only return YES if the daemon is already running - if it's not, don't
call loadBuddyList or any other methods (as they will presumably launch
it).
