# NIP-100

## Android Signer Application

`draft` `optional` `author:greenart7c3`

This NIP describes a method for 2-way communication between a android signer and any Nostr client on Android. The Android signer is an Android Application and the Client can be a Web Client or an Android Application.

# Usage for Android applications

The Android signer uses Intents and Content Resolvers to communicate between applications.

To be able to use The Android signer in your application you should add the package name of the signer to your AndroidManifest.xml:

```xml
<queries>
    <package android:name="com.example.signer"/>
</queries>
```

## Using Intents

To get the result back from the Signer Appication you should use registerForActivityResult or rememberLauncherForActivityResult in Kotlin. If you are using another framework check the documentation of your framework or a third party library to get the result.

Create the Intent using the **nostrsigner** scheme:

```kotlin
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:$content"))
```

* Set the Signer package name

```kotlin
intent.`package` = "com.example.signer"
```

### Methods

- **get_public_key**
  - params:

    ```kotlin
    val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:"))
    intent.`package` = "com.example.signer"
    intent.putExtra("type", "get_public_key")
    // You can send some default permissions for the user authorize for ever
    val permissions = listOf(
      Permission(
          "sign_event",
          22242
      ),
      Permission(
          "nip44_decrypt"
      )
    )
    intent.putExtra("permissions", permissions.toJson())
    context.startActivity(intent)
    ```
  - result:
    - If the user approved intent it will return the **npub** in the signature field

      ```kotlin
      val npub = intent.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
      // The package name of the signer application
      val packageName = intent.data?.getStringExtra("package")
      ```

    intent.putExtra("type", "sign_event")
    // to control the result in your application in case you are not waiting the result before sending another intent
    intent.putExtra("id", event.id)
    // Send the current logged in user npub
    intent.putExtra("current_user", account.keyPair.pubKey.toNpub())

      val id = intent.data?.getStringExtra("id")
      ```         

## Using Content Resolver

To get the result back from Signer Application you should use contentResolver.query in Kotlin. If you are using another framework check the documentation of your framework or a third party library to get the result.

If the user did not check the remember my choice option, the npub is not in Signer Application or the signer type is not recognized the contentResolver will return null

For the SIGN_EVENT type Signer Application returns two columns "signature" and "event". The column event is the signed event json

For the other types Signer Application returns the column "signature"

            val eventJson = it.getString(index)
        }
      ```    

# Usage for Web Applications

Since web applications can't receive a result from the intent you should add a modal to paste the signature or the event json or create a callback url.

If you send the callback url parameter Signer Application will send the result to the url.

If you don't send a callback url Signer Application will copy the result to the clipboard.

You can configure the returnType to be **signature** or **event**.

Android intents and browsers url has limitations, so if you are using the returnType of **event** consider using the parameter **compressionType=gzip** that will return "Signer1" + Base 64 gzip encoded event json
