# Appwrite Android SDK
[](https://travis-ci.com/appwrite/sdk-generator)

**This SDK is compatible with Appwrite server version 1.6.x. For older versions, please check [previous releases](https://github.com/appwrite/sdk-for-android/releases).**
Appwrite is an open-source backend as a service server that abstract and simplify complex and repetitive development tasks behind a very simple to use REST API. Appwrite aims to help you develop your apps faster and in a more secure way. Use the Android SDK to integrate your app with the Appwrite server to easily start interacting with all of Appwrite backend APIs and tools. For full API documentation and tutorials go to [https://appwrite.io/docs](https://appwrite.io/docs)
## Installation
### Gradle
Appwrite's Android SDK is hosted on Maven Central. In order to fetch the Appwrite SDK, add this to your root level `build.gradle(.kts)` file:
```groovy
repositories {
mavenCentral()
}
```
If you would like to fetch our SNAPSHOT releases, you need to add the SNAPSHOT maven repository to your `build.gradle(.kts)`:
```groovy
repositories {
maven {
url "https://s01.oss.sonatype.org/content/repositories/snapshots/"
}
}
```
Next, add the dependency to your project's `build.gradle(.kts)` file:
```groovy
implementation("io.appwrite:sdk-for-android:6.0.0")
```
### Maven
Add this to your project's `pom.xml` file:
```xml
io.appwrite
sdk-for-android
6.0.0
```
## Getting Started
### Add your Android Platform
To initialize your SDK and start interacting with Appwrite services, you need to add a new Android platform to your project. To add a new platform, go to your Appwrite console, select your project (create one if you haven't already), and click the 'Add Platform' button on the project Dashboard.
From the options, choose to add a new **Android** platform and add your app credentials.
Add your app name and package name. Your package name is generally the applicationId in your app-level `build.gradle` file. By registering a new platform, you are allowing your app to communicate with the Appwrite API.
### Registering additional activities
In order to capture the Appwrite OAuth callback url, the following activity needs to be added to your [AndroidManifest.xml](https://github.com/appwrite/playground-for-android/blob/master/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml). Be sure to replace the **[PROJECT_ID]** string with your actual Appwrite project ID. You can find your Appwrite project ID in your project settings screen in the console.
```xml
```
### Init your SDK
Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID, which can be found in your project settings page.
```kotlin
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account
val client = Client(context)
.setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
.setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
.setSelfSigned(true) // Remove in production
```
Before starting to send any API calls to your new Appwrite instance, make sure your Android emulators has network access to the Appwrite server hostname or IP address.
When trying to connect to Appwrite from an emulator or a mobile device, localhost is the hostname of the device or emulator and not your local Appwrite instance. You should replace localhost with your private IP. You can also use a service like [ngrok](https://ngrok.com/) to proxy the Appwrite API.
### Make Your First Request
Once your SDK object is set, access any of the Appwrite services and choose any request to send. Full documentation for any service method you would like to use can be found in your SDK documentation or in the [API References](https://appwrite.io/docs) section.
```kotlin
// Register User
val account = Account(client)
val response = account.create(
ID.unique(),
"[email protected]",
"password",
"Walter O'Brien"
)
```
### Full Example
```kotlin
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account
import io.appwrite.ID
val client = Client(context)
.setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
.setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
.setSelfSigned(true) // Remove in production
val account = Account(client)
val user = account.create(
ID.unique(),
"[email protected]",
"password",
"Walter O'Brien"
)
```
### Error Handling
The Appwrite Android SDK raises an `AppwriteException` object with `message`, `code` and `response` properties. You can handle any errors by catching `AppwriteException` and present the `message` to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.
```kotlin
try {
var user = account.create(ID.unique(),"[email protected]","password","Walter O'Brien")
Log.d("Appwrite user", user.toMap())
} catch(e : AppwriteException) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
```
