Pocketbase Android
Use pocketbase in your android device with this library
Add it in your root build.gradle at the end of repositories:
allprojects {
repositories {
...
maven { url 'https://jitpack.io' }
}
}
Add the dependency
dependencies {
implementation 'com.github.rohitsangwan01:pocketbase_android:Tag'
}
Usage
Use CoroutineScope to call pocketbase methods ( import kotlin coroutines libraries)
private val uiScope = CoroutineScope(Dispatchers.Main + Job())
To start pocketbase
// use dataPath where app have write access, for example temporary cache path `context.cacheDir.absolutePath` or filePath
uiScope.launch {
withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
PocketbaseMobile.startPocketbase(dataPath, hostname, port, enableApiLogs)
}
}
To stop pocketbase
uiScope.launch {
withContext(Dispatchers.IO) {
PocketbaseMobile.stopPocketbase()
}
}
To listen pocketbase events, and also handle custom api requests
pocketbaseMobile
have two custom routes as well ,/api/nativeGet
and /api/nativePost
, we can
get these routes in this callback and return response from kotlin
PocketbaseMobile.registerNativeBridgeCallback { command, data ->
this.runOnUiThread {
// Update ui from here
}
// return response back to pocketbase
"response from native"
}
