# Usage for Android applications
Amber uses Intents and Content Resolvers to communicate between applications.
To be able to use Amber in your application you should add the following in 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 an external signer 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 Amber 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:$content"))
```
* Set the Amber package name
```kotlin
intent.`package` = "com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner"
```
### Methods
- **get_public_key**
- params:
```kotlin
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:"))
intent.`package` = "com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner"
// You can send some default permissions for the user authorize for ever
val permissions = listOf(
Permission(
"sign_event",
22242
),
Permission(
"nip04_encrypt"
),
Permission(
"nip04_decrypt"
),
Permission(
"nip44_encrypt"
),
Permission(
"nip44_decrypt"
),
Permission(
"decrypt_zap_event"
),
)
intent.putExtra("permissions", permissions.toJson())
intent.putExtra("type", "get_public_key")
context.startActivity(intent)
```
- result:
- If the user approved intent it will return the **npub** in the signature field
```kotlin
val npub = intent.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
// The package name of the signer application
val packageName = intent.data?.getStringExtra("package")
```
- **sign_event**
- params:
```kotlin
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:$eventJson"))
intent.`package` = "com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner"
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())
// If you are sending multiple intents without awaiting you can add some intent flags to sign all events without opening multiple screens
intent.addFlags(Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP)
context.startActivity(intent)
```
- result:
- If the user approved intent it will return the **signature**, **id** and **event** fields
```kotlin
// if you used the flags (Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) when sending the intent and there's more than 1 event amber will return an array with the results
[
{"package":null,"signature":"event_signature","id":"event_id"},
{"package":null,"signature":"event_signature","id":"event_id"},
{"package":null,"signature":"event_signature","id":"event_id"}
]
// if you sent only 1 event or did not used the flags (Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_SINGLE_TOP or Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_CLEAR_TOP) Amber will return the fields signature, id and event
val signature = intent.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
// the id you sent
val id = intent.data?.getStringExtra("id")
val signedEventJson = intent.data?.getStringExtra("event")
```
- **nip04_encrypt**
- params:
```kotlin
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:$plaintext"))
intent.`package` = "com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner"
intent.putExtra("type", "nip04_encrypt")
// to control the result in your application in case you are not waiting the result before sending another intent
intent.putExtra("id", "some_id")
// Send the current logged in user npub
intent.putExtra("current_user", account.keyPair.pubKey.toNpub())
// Send the hex pubKey that will be used for encrypting the data
intent.putExtra("pubKey", pubKey)
context.startActivity(intent)
```
- result:
- If the user approved intent it will return the **signature** and **id** fields
```kotlin
val encryptedText = intent.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
// the id you sent
val id = intent.data?.getStringExtra("id")
```
- **nip44_encrypt**
- params:
```kotlin
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:$plaintext"))
intent.`package` = "com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner"
intent.putExtra("type", "nip44_encrypt")
// to control the result in your application in case you are not waiting the result before sending another intent
intent.putExtra("id", "some_id")
// Send the current logged in user npub
intent.putExtra("current_user", account.keyPair.pubKey.toNpub())
// Send the hex pubKey that will be used for encrypting the data
intent.putExtra("pubKey", pubKey)
context.startActivity(intent)
```
- result:
- If the user approved intent it will return the **signature** and **id** fields
```kotlin
val encryptedText = intent.data?.getStringExtra("signature")
// the id you sent
val id = intent.data?.getStringExtra("id")
```
- **nip04_decrypt**
- params:
```kotlin
val intent = Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, Uri.parse("nostrsigner:$encryptedText"))
intent.`package` = "com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner"
intent.putExtra("type", "nip04_decrypt")
// to control the result in your application in case you are not waiting the result before sending another intent
intent.putExtra("id", "some_id")
// Send the current logged in user npub
intent.putExtra("current_user", account.keyPair.pubKey.toNpub())
// Send the hex pubKey that will be used for decrypting the data

```kotlin
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 Amber 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 amber or the signer type is not recognized the contentResolver will return null
For the SIGN_EVENT type amber returns two columns "signature" and "event". The column event is the signed event json
For the other types amber returns the column "signature"
If the user chose to always reject the event Amber will return the column "rejected" and you should not open Amber
### Methods

```kotlin
val result = context.contentResolver.query(
Uri.parse("content://com.greenart7c3.nostrsigner.GET_PUBLIC_KEY"),

```
- result:
- Will return the **npub** in the signature column

if (result == null) return
if (result.moveToFirst()) {
val index = it.getColumnIndex("signature")
if (index < 0) return
