# hush-android-wallet
A sample Android wallet using the [Hush Android SDK](https://git.hush.is/hush/hush-android-wallet-sdk) which is based on the [Zcash Android SDK](https://github.com/zcash/zcash-android-wallet-sdk).

### Motivation
[Dogfooding](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eating_your_own_dog_food) - _transitive verb_ -  is the practice of an organization using its own product. This app was created to help us learn. 


# Disclaimers
There are some known areas for improvement:

- This app is mainly intended for learning and improving the related libraries that it uses. There may be bugs.
- Traffic analysis, like in other cryptocurrency wallets, can leak some privacy of the user.
- The wallet requires a trust in the server to display accurate transaction information. 

See the upstream Zcash [Wallet App Threat Model](https://zcash.readthedocs.io/en/latest/rtd_pages/wallet_threat_model.html)
for more information about the security and privacy limitations of the wallet.

# Description
This a sample wallet for the following set of features:
- z2z transactions with encrypted memos
- reply-to formatted memos

# Prerequisites
- [The code](https://git.hush.is/hush/hush-android-wallet)
- [Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html) or [adb](https://www.xda-developers.com/what-is-adb/)
- An Android device or emulator. Android 10 or higher is recommended.

# Building the App
To run, clone the repo, open it in Android Studio and press play. It should just work.™

## Install from Android Studio
1. [Install Android Studio](https://developer.android.com/studio/install) and setup an emulator
    1a. If using a device, be sure to [put it in developer mode](https://developer.android.com/studio/debug/dev-options) to enable side-loading apps
2. `Import` the hush-android-wallet folder.  
    It will be recognized as an Android project.
3. Press play (once it is done opening and indexing)

## OR Install from the command line
To build from the command line, [setup ADB](https://www.xda-developers.com/install-adb-windows-macos-linux/) and connect your device. Then simply run this and it will both build and install the app:
```bash
cd /path/to/hush-android-wallet
./gradlew
```
Note: The lack of an explicit Gradle task is not a typo. A default task is configured via [build.gradle.kts](build.gradle.kts).

Tip: On macOS and Linux, Gradle is invoked with `./gradlew`.  On Windows, Gradle is invoked with `gradlew`.


# Included builds
To simplify implementation of SDK features in conjunction with changes to the app, a Gradle [Included Build](https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/composite_builds.html) can be configured.

1. Check out the SDK to a directory path of `../hush-android-sdk` relative to the root of this app's repo.  For example:

        parent/
            hush-android-wallet/
            hush-android-sdk/

1. Verify that the `hush-android-sdk` builds correctly on its own
1. Build `hush-android-wallet`, setting the Gradle property `IS_SDK_INCLUDED_BUILD=true`

There are some limitations of included builds:
1. Properties from `hush-android-wallet` will override those set in `hush-android-sdk` with the same name
1. Modules in each project cannot share the same name.  For this reason, build-conventions have different names in each repo (`hush-android-sdk/build-conventions` vs `other-android-wallet/build-convention`)
1. Kotlin and KSP versions will need to be coordinated between the two projects, because KSP is tightly coupled to the Kotlin version
