Build an ideas tracker with Android

Create project

Head to the Appwrite Console.

If this is your first time using Appwrite, create an account and create your first project.

Then, under Add a platform, add an Android app. The Package Name should be the same as the one you used when creating your app.

You can skip optional steps.

Initialize Appwrite SDK

To use Appwrite in our Android app, we'll need to find our project ID. Find your project's ID in the Settings page.

Create a new file services/Appwrite.kt to hold our Appwrite related code. Only one instance of the Client class should be created per app. Add the following code to it, replacing <PROJECT_ID> with your project ID.

package <YOUR_ROOT_PACKAGE_HERE>.services

import android.content.Context
import io.appwrite.Client

object Appwrite {
    private const val ENDPOINT = "https://cloud.appwrite.io/v1"
    private const val PROJECT_ID = "<PROJECT_ID>"

    private lateinit var client: Client

    fun init(context: Context) {
        client = Client(context)
            .setEndpoint(ENDPOINT)
            .setProject(PROJECT_ID)
    }
}
