After encrypting the email address or account and password, use the select command to check whether the data exists in the MySQL database. If it exists, store the login data in SharedPreference.

Reset password

Login with email address

After encrypting the email address, use the select command in the MySQL database to check whether the data exists. If it does, the password is obtained and the login data is stored in SharedPreference.

Log out

Delete the email address or account and password data in SharedPreference.

Delete account

After encrypting the email address or account and password, use the delete command to delete the data in the MySQL database and log out.

Modify avatar

After encrypting the email address or account and password, select the file to be set as the avatar, and then use the update command to update the InputStream.

Ready to work

First of all, you need to have a server (if you don’t have one, you can use your local computer), and the MySQL database needs to be installed on this server. After you are ready, you need to create a new database in MySQL. "mscr" is the database name, you can change it.

create database mscr;

Then we enter the database.

use mscr;

After entering, create a new table in the following format You can enter the following command to create a new table, where "users" is the name of the table.

create table `users` (`email` varchar(1000) not null,`account` varchar(1000) not null,`password` varchar(1000) not null,`information` mediumblob not null,`avatar` mediumblob,`messages` text(4294967295));

At this point, if everything goes well without errors, then you can proceed to the next step.

After setting up a server with MySQL, modify the variable content in the file Variables.java in the src/java/com/mrshiehx/mschatroom directory (representatives not listed in the table below do not need to be modified)

Regarding the e-mail address for sending the CAPTCHA, it is not provided here. You need to create an email address yourself, and then enable the IMAP/SMTP service and POP3/SMTP service of the mailbox, and write down the email address, authorization code and SMTP address of the email service , Input in Variables.java. You can also choose to modify the method content in the SendEmailUtils.java file in the src/java/com/mrshiehx/mschatroom/utils directory

For the application to use the chat communication function normally, you need to find the directory named server in the root directory of the source code, open it, find the server MSCRServer_1.0.jar file with the latest version 1.0, and use java -jar MSCRServer_1.0.jar command to run it, and then enter a port number you make sure that there is no occupied port number, press Enter, if there is no error, you have completed this step.

After all these tasks are completed, you can compile the application and run it.
