mwebd-android

Android AAR packaging for ltcmweb/mwebd.

The artifact is intended to be consumed through JitPack:

repositories {
    maven("https://jitpack.io")
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.github.piratecash:mwebd-android:<commit_version>")
}

What This Contains

• A small Go wrapper around github.com/ltcmweb/mwebd.
• A pinned upstream dependency: github.com/ltcmweb/mwebd v0.1.19.
• A Gradle maven-publish setup for JitPack.
• A gomobile bind build that produces an Android AAR with native libraries for:
  • armeabi-v7a
  • arm64-v8a
  • x86_64
• A 16 KB ELF alignment check for generated native libraries.

Consumers of the published AAR do not need Go, gomobile, or Android NDK in their own build environment.

Local Build

Prerequisites:

• JDK 17
• Android SDK and NDK
• Go 1.24+

Build and publish to Maven local:

./gradlew publishToMavenLocal

Build only the AAR:

./gradlew buildMwebdAar

Verify generated native libraries are compatible with Android 16 KB page-size devices:

./gradlew verifyElfAlignment

Kotlin Usage Sketch

gomobile bind generates Java/Kotlin-callable bindings under the com.piratecash.mwebdandroid package.

val daemon = Mwebdandroid.newDaemon(
    "mainnet",
    filesDir.resolve("mwebd").absolutePath,
    "",
    ""
)

daemon.start(0)
val status = daemon.status()
daemon.stop()

The final litecoinkit integration should wrap these generated bindings behind its own Kotlin interface, so app code never depends on gomobile-generated API directly.
