Getting Started
Init your SDK
Initialize your SDK with your Appwrite server API endpoint and project ID which can be found in your project settings page and your new API secret Key project API keys section.
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Account
suspend fun main() {
val client = Client(context)
.setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
.setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
.setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
.setSelfSigned(true) // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
}
Make Your First Request
Once your SDK object is set, create any of the Appwrite service objects and choose any request to send. Full documentation for any service method you would like to use can be found in your SDK documentation or in the API References section.
val users = Users(client)
val response = users.create(
user = "[USER_ID]",
email = "email@example.com",
password = "password",
)
val json = response.body?.string()
Full Example
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Users
suspend fun main() {
val client = Client(context)
.setEndpoint("https://[HOSTNAME_OR_IP]/v1") // Your API Endpoint
.setProject("5df5acd0d48c2") // Your project ID
.setKey('919c2d18fb5d4...a2ae413da83346ad2') // Your secret API key
.setSelfSigned(true) // Use only on dev mode with a self-signed SSL cert
val users = Users(client)
val response = users.create(
user = "[USER_ID]",
email = "email@example.com",
password = "password",
)
val json = response.body?.string()
}
Error Handling
The Appwrite Kotlin SDK raises AppwriteException
object with message
, code
and response
properties. You can handle any errors by catching AppwriteException
and present the message
to the user or handle it yourself based on the provided error information. Below is an example.
import io.appwrite.Client
import io.appwrite.services.Users
suspend fun main() {
val users = Users(client)
try {
val response = users.create(
user = "[USER_ID]",
email = "email@example.com",
password = "password",
)
var jsonString = response.body?.string() ?: ""
} catch (e: AppwriteException) {
println(e)
}
}
