Re: Android Bitcoin Wallet

Based on bitcoinj, I've created and uploaded a first, experimental Bitcoin wallet implementation for Android:

http://market.android.com/details?id=de.schildbach.wallet

You can send money just by scanning a QR code the app displays. You need to install one of the QR code scanning apps for this to work (e.g. "Goggle").

The app currently only works for testnet. Because testnet is very slow in transaction processing, it currently takes ages to update the wallet. Unfortunately, I can't switch to prodnet, because Android apps only got 4 MB of heap memory and that's not enough for the blockchain. You can use the emulator and assign a max heap size of 32 MB though.

GPLv3'ed source available here: http://code.google.com/p/bitcoin-wallet/

Comments anyone?

Regards,

Andreas


Hi Goonie,

I'd be interested in contributing to your project. Do you have a backlog of tasks that need doing? What is preventing you from using the app on prodnet? Is it still the block chain memory issue?

BTW is anyone in London and want to meet up later? We might get a pizza or something with a few other community members.

I'm in London, and just bought my first handful of BTC of Britcoin. Would very much like to meet up and discuss techie stuff around BTC (I'm a newbie to bitcoin though, otherwise fairly experienced developer).

PM if you're interested!

Hi,

I'm a Java/.NET (plus other related tech DB, Web, etc) developer who is just getting into BTC. Will do interesting work for BTC. Drop me a message to get in touch.

Also how do I post messages on other boards? Would like to reply to something on another thread but can't!
