Concordium IDApp SDK for Android

Build secure and user-friendly blockchain applications with Concordium's official Android SDK

The Concordium IDApp SDK enables Android developers to seamlessly integrate Concordium blockchain functionality into their applications. This SDK provides a robust set of tools for account management, transaction signing, and secure interactions with the Concordium blockchain.

🚀 Features

• 🔐 Secure account management and key generation
• 📝 Transaction signing and submission
• 🔗 WalletConnect integration for ID App interactions
• 📱 Ready-to-use UI components

📦 Package Information

• Module: concordium-idapp-sdk
• Latest Version: Check releases

🔧 Installation

Option 1: Git Submodule (Recommended)

This method is ideal for developers who want to use the SDK directly and potentially contribute back to the project.

git submodule add https://github.com/Concordium/concordium-id-kotlin-sdk.git libs/concordium-id-kotlin-sdk
git submodule update --init --recursive

2. Include the module in your settings.gradle.kts (or settings.gradle):

include(":libs:concordium-idapp-sdk")

3. Add a project dependency in your app module's build.gradle.kts:

dependencies {
    implementation(project(":libs:concordium-idapp-sdk"))
    implementation("com.concordium.sdk:concordium-android-sdk:11.1.0")
}

Option 2: Maven Repository (Yet to be Live)

If you prefer using dependency management:

dependencies {
    implementation("com.concoridum.sdk:concordium-idapp-sdk:x.y.z") // Replace with latest version
}

💡 Tips:

• Run Gradle sync after adding the dependency
• Check releases page for the latest version

🚀 Getting Started

Initialization

Call the initializer early in your app (for example, in Application.onCreate):

import com.concordium.idapp.sdk.api.ConcordiumIDAppSDK

class MyApplication : Application() {
    override fun onCreate() {
        super.onCreate()
        ConcordiumIDAppSDK.initialize(this, enableDebugLog = false)
    }
}

📚 API Reference

The SDK provides a clean and intuitive API through three main components:

1. 🛠 ConcordiumIDAppSDK

Core functionality for blockchain interactions:

• initialize(context: Context, enableDebugLog: Boolean = false)
• signAndSubmit(seedPhrase: String, expiry: Long, unsignedCdiStr: String, accountIndex: Int = 0, network: Network = Network.MAINNET): String
• generateAccountWithSeedPhrase(seed: String, network: Network, accountIndex: Int = 0): CCDAccountKeyPair
• clear()

2. 🖼 ConcordiumIDAppPopup

UI components and flows for user interactions:

• invokeIdAppDeepLinkPopup: Launch WalletConnect flows
• invokeIdAppActionsPopup: Present account creation/recovery options
• closePopup: Dismiss active popups

3. 🔑 CCDAccountKeyPair

Essential account data model:

• publicKey: Account's public verification key
• signingKey: Account's signing key

💡 Code Examples

Here are some common use cases to help you get started:

1) Sign and submit a credential deployment transaction

Make sure unsignedCdiStr contains a valid JSON string matching UnsignedCredentialDeploymentInfo.

import com.concordium.idapp.sdk.api.ConcordiumIDAppSDK
import com.concordium.sdk.crypto.wallet.Network

fun submit(seedPhrase: String, unsignedCdiJson: String) {
    val expiryEpochSec = 1710000000L // choose appropriate expiry
    val txHash = ConcordiumIDAppSDK.signAndSubmit(
        seedPhrase = seedPhrase,
        expiry = expiryEpochSec,
        unsignedCdiStr = unsignedCdiJson,
        accountIndex = 0,
        network = Network.MAINNET,
    )
    println("Transaction hash: $txHash")
}

2) Launching ID App deep-link flow

import com.concordium.idapp.sdk.api.ConcordiumIDAppPopup

val walletConnectUri = "wc:...@2?relay-protocol=...&symKey=..."
ConcordiumIDAppPopup.invokeIdAppDeepLinkPopup(walletConnectUri)

4) Present create/recover actions popup

ConcordiumIDAppPopup.invokeIdAppActionsPopup(
    walletConnectSessionTopic = "abcd1234...",
    onCreateAccount = { /* handle create */ },
    onRecoverAccount = { /* handle recover */ },
)

3) Derive account keys from a seed phrase

import com.concordium.idapp.sdk.api.ConcordiumIDAppSDK
import com.concordium.idapp.sdk.api.model.CCDAccountKeyPair
import com.concordium.sdk.crypto.wallet.Network

fun showKeys(seed: String) {
    val keys: CCDAccountKeyPair = ConcordiumIDAppSDK.generateAccountWithSeedPhrase(
        seed = seed,
        network = Network.MAINNET,
        accountIndex = 0,
    )

    println("publicKey=${keys.publicKey}")
    println("signingKey=${keys.signingKey}")
}

Cleanup

When you're done using the SDK, make sure to clean up resources:

ConcordiumIDAppSDK.clear()

📋 Release Guidelines

Creating a New Release

Follow these steps to publish a new version of the SDK:

1. Ensure you are on the main branch and it is up to date:

   git checkout main
   git pull origin main

2. Make sure all tests pass and the build is successful:

   ./gradlew clean build test

3. Update the version number in concordium-idapp-sdk/build.gradle.kts:

   • Follow semantic versioning (MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH)
   • Example: version = "1.0.0"

4. Commit the version change:

   git add concordium-idapp-sdk/build.gradle.kts
   git commit -m "Bump version to x.y.z"

5. Create and push a new tag:

   git tag -a vx.y.z -m "Release version x.y.z"
   git push origin main --tags

6. Create a release on GitHub:

   • Go to the repository's Releases page
   • Click "Create a new release"
   • Select the tag you just created
   • Title: "Release vx.y.z"
   • Add release notes describing the changes
   • Attach any relevant binaries or documentation

Notes:

• Replace x.y.z with the actual version number
• Always create releases from the main branch
• Ensure all changes are properly documented
• Follow semantic versioning guidelines:
  • MAJOR: Breaking changes
  • MINOR: New features (backwards compatible)
  • PATCH: Bug fixes (backwards compatible)

⚠️ Important Notes

• Always call ConcordiumIDAppSDK.initialize(context) before any other function.
• signAndSubmit parses the unsignedCdiStr JSON; ensure it is valid. The function will throw if parsing fails.
• Network calls use the Concordium Java/Kotlin client; ensure correct network selection (Network.MAINNET vs Network.TESTNET) and permissions.
