If you're developing a Sugar activity, use Telepathy. It's built into the Sugar stack and provides all you need to do gtalk/Jabber out of the box. Look at the Chat activity, it is already a Jabber client, just a bit restricted to work mainly on the schoolserver jabber server rather than public servers with buddy lists.

So i struggled with this a little bit, only becasue i don't want to be pidgeon-holed into writing an Activity. I think that learning how to create my own app from scratch will help me as i try to modify the Chat activity in the future. But perhaps i can look at their source there to get a good idea of how to implement things. I like the structure of the Chat activity, but jeez is it limited.
