Enables seamless integration with Appwrite backend services using a user-friendly REST API. Simplifies app development through Android SDK, streamlining complex tasks while enhancing security and efficiency.
This SDK is compatible with Appwrite server version 1.6.x. For older versions, please check previous releases.
**This package is not officially supported. Appwrite employees are a bit held up so this is a temporary way to get some feedback on my work. When my pull request is completed this package may be deprecated.
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.

Since this SDK is not yet available on Maven Central, you'll need to build and publish it locally.
Clone the repository:
bash git clone https://github.com/camka14/sdk-for-kmp.git cd sdk-for-kmp
Clean and publish to local Maven:
./gradlew clean publishToMavenLocal
Add the following to your root level settings.gradle.kts:
dependencyResolutionManagement {
repositories {
mavenLocal()
}
}
In your shared module's build.gradle.kts:
kotlin {
sourceSets {
commonMain {
dependencies {
implementation("io.github.camka14.appwrite:sdk-for-kmp:0.3.4")
}
}
}
}
Add this to your project's pom.xml file:
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>io.appwrite</groupId>
<artifactId>sdk-for-android</artifactId>
<version>6.0.0</version>
To initialize your SDK and start interacting with Appwrite services, you need to add a new 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 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.
In order to capture the Appwrite OAuth callback url, the following activity needs to be added to your 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.
Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID, which can be found in your project settings page.
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account
expect val client: Client
val endpoint = "https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1"
val project = "5df5acd0d48c2"
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account
actual val client = Client(context)
.setEndpoint(endpoint) // Your API Endpoint
.setProject(project) // Your project ID
.setSelfSigned(true) // Remove in production
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account
actual val client = Client()
.setEndpoint(endpoint) // Your API Endpoint
.setProject(project) // 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 to proxy the Appwrite API.
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.
// Register User
val account = Account(client)
val response = account.create(
ID.unique(),
"email@example.com",
"password",
"Walter O'Brien"
)
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.
try {
var user = account.create(ID.unique(), "email@example.com", "password", "Walter O'Brien")
Log.d("Appwrite user", user.toMap())
} catch (e: AppwriteException) {
e.printStackTrace()
}
