Android API Reference

#Overview

The Magic SDK for Android is your entry-point to secure, passwordless authentication for your mobile app. This guide will cover some important topics for getting started with Android APIs and to make the most of Magic's features.

Magic can support either server-based or serverless web applications. It is up to the developers to implement the Admin SDK to validate the DID Token.

#Getting Started

The Magic class is the entry-point to the Magic SDK. It must be instantiated with a Magic publishable key. The minimum Android version supported by the Android Magic SDK is version 24.

#Installation

Magic SDK is available in mavenCentral. Simply add the following to your build.gradle and settings.gradle, respectively.

Groovy
01// build.gradle file
02
03dependencies {
04    implementation 'link.magic:magic-android:9.1.0'
05    implementation 'org.web3j:core:4.8.8-android' 
06}
Groovy
01// settings.gradle file
02
03repositories {
04    mavenCentral()
05}

Sync the project with new dependencies settings.

EthNetwork

An enum with values Mainnet and Goerli. Use customNodeConfiguration for other network options.

Defaults to Ethereum Mainnet.

customNodeConfiguration?

CustomNodeConfiguration

A custom node configuration with the following shape: ⁠ ⁠

rpcUrl (String): A URL pointing to your custom Ethereum Node. ⁠ ⁠

chainId? (Number): Some Node infrastructures require you to pass an explicit chain ID. If you are aware that your Node requires this configuration, pass it here as an integer. ⁠

Customize the language of Magic's modal, email and confirmation screen. See Localization for more.

#Initialization

Kotlin
01class MagicDemoApp: Application() {
02
03    lateinit var magic: Magic
04
05    override fun onCreate() {
06        magic = Magic(this, "PUBLISHABLE_API_KEY")
07        super.onCreate()
08    }
09}

#Auth Module

The Auth Module and its members are accessible on the Magic SDK instance by the auth property.

03var magic: Magic
04
05magic.auth;
06magic.auth.loginWithSMS;
07magic.auth.loginWithEmailOTP;

#loginWithSMS

14        }
15    }
16}

#showUI

Displays the fully navigable wallet to the user that adheres to the toggled configurations on your developer dashboard’s Widget UI tab. ⁠ ⁠This is only supported for users who login with email or Google and not third party wallets such as metamask. User must be signed in for this method to return or else it will throw an error.

#Arguments

  • context (Context): Global information about application environment

#Returns

  • Promise which resolves when the user closes the window

Optionally, add a .on() handler to catch the disconnect event emitted when the user logs out from the wallet widget.

#Example

Kotlin
01fun showUI(v: View) {
02    val completable = magic.wallet.showUI(this.requireContext())
03    completable.whenComplete { response: ShowWalletResponse?, error: Throwable? ->
04        if (error != null) {

09        }
10    }
11}

#requestUserInfoWithUI

Displays the wallet widget within an iframe that prompts the user to consent to sharing information with the requesting dApp with OpenID profile scopes. Currently, the only profile scope that can be requested is a verified email. Collecting a verified email address from third-party wallet users (MetaMask, Coinbase Wallet, etc.) is a premium feature but included in the free trial period (see pricing). User must be signed in for this method to return or else it will throw an error.

#Arguments

  • context (Context): Global information about application environment
  • configuration (RequestUserInfoWithUIConfiguration):
    • email (str): The user email to log in with

#Returns

  • Promise which resolves when the user closes the window

#Example

Kotlin
01fun requestUserInfoWithUI(v: View) {
02        val config = RequestUserInfoWithUIConfiguration(
03            scope = WalletUserInfoScope(email = WalletUserInfoEmailOptions.required)
04        )
05        val completable = magic.wallet.requestUserInfoWithUI(this.requireContext(), config)
06        completable.whenComplete { response: RequestUserInfoWithUIResponse?, error: Throwable? ->
07            if (error != null) {
08                Log.d("error", error.localizedMessage)
09            }
10            if (response != null) {
11                tabActivity.toastAsync("Request User Info" + response.result.email)
