To get set up with the source code, please see Getting the Source Code below.

Where is user data saved?

• Android: The data is encrypted and saved to the Android device using an implementation that leverages AndroidKeyStore and SharedPreferences.
• Web: The data is saved to the browser's local storage.

Data storage warnings:

• Android API < 18 does not support AndroidKeyStore. Android API < 18 values are stored fallback to being stored as simple base64 encoded strings.
• Since web browsers don't have an equivalent of Android's secure storage, data is base64-encoded before being stored in the browser's Local Storage.

Reporting Bugs & Making Feature Requests

If you would like to report an issue or share a feature request, please create a Github Issue on this project.

If you're reporting a bug, be sure to include all information which we would need to reproduce the issue, such as the operating system and app version on which you saw the bug, and the steps you took, if you can tell.

Please don't use the Issues tracker for general support or inquiries. You can also contact us directly.

Installation

Before installing, download and install Node.js. You will also need Android Studio

Clone the repo and install the dependencies.

git clone https://github.com/mymonero/mymonero-android-js.git
cd mymonero-android-js

npm install

To open the android app in Android studio, run the following

npm run build

To run the app in a web browser, run the following

npm start

This will build and package the web version of the application in the browser_build folder. Once that is done, it will initialise all necessary build files for your Android application. Finally, it will attempt to open the project in Android Studio.

Suggested development workflow

As the application is essentially a web application which gets transpiled into Java by Capacitor, rather than transpile and build each time, we do most of our development work by running a server that serves the browser_build folder, and accessing it in Chrome. Barring unusual cases, changes made and tested on Chrome will function properly once transpiled.

When developing in this fashion, one can run a server with hot-reload enabled by using the npm run watch command

Debugging the Android application

Should you run into any issues with the transpiled application, you are able to debug the application by making use of Android WebView debugging and the Chrome browser. In order to do so, follow the instructions below:

1. Add the following code snippet to the app/java/com.mymonero.android/MainActivity.java file inside the onCreate() function

if (Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >= Build.VERSION_CODES.KITKAT) {
    WebView.setWebContentsDebuggingEnabled(true);
}

2. Open Chrome
3. Navigate to chrome://inspect/#devices
4. Under "Remote Target", you should see a WebView titled "WebView in com.mymonero.android"
5. Click "inspect" to open the WebView in DevTools

Building for Production

1. Follow the steps under Download and Build.
2. Use Android Studio to build the .APK file

Testing

Please submit any bugs as Issues unless they have already been reported.

Suggestions and feedback are very welcome!

Developing

If you have an improvement to the codebase and would like to have your code shipped in the production MyMonero app, please submit a pull request, even if it's still a WIP. We try to credit all contributors in app release notes.

• Merging PRs which involve integrating with any third-party services will require discussion and agreement.
