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"
}
