Wallet Core is available on the Android platform, through Java/JNI bindings. In this guide we show how to use it.
A sample application is available at: https://github.com/trustwallet/wallet-core/tree/master/samples/android .
- Android Studio
- Android NDK Support plugin
Add this dependency to build.gradle:
dependencies {
implementation "com.trustwallet:wallet-core:0.12.31"
}
In the following sections we show code examples for some common funcions. Please refer to the Wallet Usage Guide for detailed explanations.
First thing we need is to load JNI library
init {
System.loadLibrary("TrustWalletCore")
}
Creating or Importing a Multi-Coin HD Wallet
val wallet = HDWallet(128, "")
val wallet = HDWallet("ripple scissors kick mammal hire column oak again sun offer wealth tomorrow wagon turn fatal", "")
Generating the Default Address for a Coin
val addressBTC = wallet.getAddressForCoin(CoinType.BITCOIN)
val addressETH = wallet.getAddressForCoin(CoinType.ETHEREUM)
val addressBNB = wallet.getAddressForCoin(CoinType.BINANCE)
Generating an Address Using a Custom Derivation Path (Expert)
val key = wallet.getKey("m/44\'/60\'/1\'/0/0") // m/44'/60'/1'/0/0
val address = CoinType.ETHEREUM.deriveAddress(key)
In general, when creating a new blockchain transaction, a wallet has to:
- Put together a transaction with relevant fields (source, target, amount, etc.)
- Sign the transaction, using the account private key. This is done by Wallet Core.
- Send to a node for broadcasting to the blockchain network.
Ethereum Transaction Signing
Code example to fill in signer input parameters, perform signing, and retrieve encoded result:
val signerInput = Ethereum.SigningInput.newBuilder().apply {
this.chainId = ByteString.copyFrom(BigInteger("01").toByteArray())
this.gasPrice = BigInteger("d693a400", 16).toByteString() // decimal 3600000000
this.gasLimit = BigInteger("5208", 16).toByteString() // decimal 21000
this.toAddress = dummyReceiverAddress
this.transaction = Ethereum.Transaction.newBuilder().apply {
this.transfer = Ethereum.Transaction.Transfer.newBuilder().apply {
this.amount = BigInteger("0348bca5a16000", 16).toByteString()
}.build()
}.build()
this.privateKey = ByteString.copyFrom(secretPrivateKey.data())
}.build()
val output = AnySigner.sign(signerInput, CoinType.ETHEREUM, Ethereum.SigningOutput.parser())
println("Signed transaction: \n${signerOutput.encoded.toByteArray().toHexString()}")
