PocketAndroid wraps all of the tools a developer will need to begin interacting with a network. PocketAndroid contains 3 packages:
network.pocket:eth: A library that allows your DApp to communicate to the Ethereum network.network.pocket:aion: A library that allows your DApp to communicate to the AION network.network.pocket:core: An implementation of the Pocket protocol that you can use to create your own plugin to interact with a blockchain of your choosing.
Before you can start using the library, you have to get a Developer ID by registering for MVP. To learn how to register please click here.
You should have at least have a basic knowledge of blockchain technology and know your way around Java/Kotlin.
First you need to add the following Maven URL to your project, so the your root build.gradle file add the following:
allprojects {
repositories {
google()
jcenter()
maven {
url 'https://dl.bintray.com/pokt-network/pocket-android'
}
}
}
Now, you will need to add either of the 3 packages within PocketAndroid to your module's build.gradle file, like this:
// Eth
implementation 'network.pocket:eth:0.0.2'
// Aion
implementation 'network.pocket:aion:0.0.3'
// Core
implementation 'network.pocket:core:0.0.4'
