IC4J Agent library can be also used for development of native Android application written in Java or Kotlin. Use to start a new Android application or add support for the Internet Computer to your existing application.
To add required IC4J libraries to your Android project open gradle.build file and add dependencies:
sample application demonstrates use or and in Kotlin Android project. Project properties ic.location and ic.canister are stored in file.
has a simple code for QUERY and UPDATE invocation of the Canister code .
main.mo
actor {
stable var name = "Me";
public func greet(value : Text) : async Text {
name := value;
return "Hello, " # name # "!";
};
public shared query func peek() : async Text {
return name;
};
};
