# NIP-55

|
|
## Android Signer Application
|
|
|
|
`draft` `optional`
|
|
|
|
This NIP describes a method for 2-way communication between an 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 this to your AndroidManifest.xml:
|
|
|
|
```xml
|
|
<queries>
|
|
<intent>
|
|
<action android:name="android.intent.action.VIEW" />
|
|
<category android:name="android.intent.category.BROWSABLE" />
|
|
<data android:scheme="nostrsigner" />
|
|
</intent>
|
|
</queries>
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then you can use this function to check if there's a signer application installed:
|
|
|
|
```kotlin
|
|
fun isExternalSignerInstalled(context: Context): Boolean {
|
|
val intent =
|
|
Intent().apply {
|
|
action = Intent.ACTION_VIEW
|
|
data = Uri.parse("nostrsigner:")
|
|
}
|
|
val infos = context.packageManager.queryIntentActivities(intent, 0)
|
|
return infos.size > 0
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Using Intents
|
|
|
|
To get the result back from the Signer Application 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.
|
|
|
|
```kotlin
|
|
val launcher = rememberLauncherForActivityResult(
|
|
contract = ActivityResultContracts.StartActivityForResult(),
|
|
onResult = { result ->
|
|
if (result.resultCode != Activity.RESULT_OK) {
|
|
Toast.makeText(
|
|
context,
|
|
"Sign request rejected",
|
|
Toast.LENGTH_SHORT
|
|
).show()
|
|
} else {
|
|
val signature = activityResult.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
|
|
// Do something with signature ...
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
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"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Send the Intent:
|
|
|
|
```kotlin
|
|
launcher.launch(intent)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
val eventJson = intent.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
|
|
// the id you sent
|
|
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"
|
|
|
|
If the user chose to always reject the event, signer application will return the column "rejected" and you should not open signer application
|
|
|

|
|
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 browser urls have limitations, so if you are using the `returnType` of **event** consider using the parameter **compressionType=gzip** that will return "Signer1" + Base64 gzip encoded event json
