Old daemon and wallet version 0.18.3

Ok, so your problems where related to the setup of the sdk environment for Android.
The alias for jarsigner is the same you specified when creating the keystore.
So in your case the call to jarsigner should look like
âjarsigner -verbose -sigalg MD5withRSA -digestalg SHA1 ~/workspace/feathercoin-wallet/wallet/target/wallet-1.098.apk feathercoin-walletâ
Adapt the path to the .apk file to match your system.
In Linux the default keystore is the file .keystore in your home directory.
If you defined another keystore file in eclipse, you must tell jarsigner the name of the file as a command parameter.

Wellenreiter
use jarsigner --help to get the right option.

Most of my problems was due to maven. It seems the project is not supported by maven 3.1.1 or maven 3.1.2
I was not able to find in the settings of the project where the keystore location is configured. There are variables for the keystore but I did not found where they are initialized.I tried to put the file in the home directoryin windows (C:\users\username\) but it didnât work. So I sign manually the file.
I try to understand how the whole thing work and I understood that the wallet as 2 parts:
-
feathercoinj that is a Java implementation of the feathercoin protocol, which allows it to maintain a wallet and send/receive transactions
-
feathercoin-wallet that is more the front end
I was wondering when the feathercoin protocole will update to 0.86, does anyone will also improve feathercoinj ?
My other interrogation: does the wallet need to download the whole blockchain and store it on the phone like the desktop version?
Thanks

Answer to your first question: yes, feathercoinj will be updated by Bushstar and myself
For your second question I need to check.
Also, the Andriod target for the wallet is type 14, which is a tablet, so lâm not sure, if phones are supported with the current version.
Did you check, if playstore provides the wallet, when accessing it from a phone?
-
API level 14 Is just a version of android (Android 4.0). In my opinion, it is a little bit high as min API level because almost 25% of android users still have Android 3.2 or less
But I think the reason is actionbarsherlock needs this API.
Anyway, It works on phone in installed it on Samsung Galaxy SIII.

Thanks for the clarification
Iâm no experienced Android programmer, in fact I started it last week to fix the Android wallet problem.
I have released an App called Feathercoin Wallet 2 on playstore, which is the original Feathercoin wallet for Android plus the fix for the connectivity problem.
It should be available on playstore later today.
The sources are on Github: https://github.com/wellenreiter01/feathercoin-wallet-2
It is agreed with Erik, the Author of the original Feathercoin Wallet for Android, that he takes his version off the playstore and development and support move to us. Erik doesnât have the bandwidth anymore to support the app.
Contributors are highly welcomed for development and support of the application.
Last, but not least:
I strongly recommend a backup of your private keys or even better to empty your wallet and uninstall the original Feathercoin wallet form Erik, as existing wallet data may be erased during installation!!!

I was just wondering if we could make download it from somewhere? the adk file?. I would like to try to test install a compiled version?
Wow, great work, Iâll try it at the Playstore.
I think this is a really interesting project, that we could get community support for. I see a mobile application as essential and I think Bush should consider to make an âofficialâ Git hub, so we can manage and be alert to required changes.
On the other hand it is a lot to maintain the main network, wallet and protocol, so additional responsibilities should be limited to what is achievable.

I was just looking to see if the new Feathercoin App had appeared in the playstore. I notice there are some patches to the Android Litecoin App which could be applied.
The Litecoin App has just been updated by Litecoin Devs.
Iâll check out the Github later.
-
A little problem is, that the litecoin build is not the direct upstream for our build, but Erikâs build is. This means there is no easy and direct way to pull the upstream changes into our version.
I donât know, if there is an easy way to pull changes from the litecoin build, which is the âgrandfatherâ of our build.
May be, someone very familiar with github can suggest what to do here
-
I was wondering:
should we rework the wallet and not have a clone of the litecoin wallet but create our own version ? I donât want to say anything wrong about the wallet, the one who did it, made a great work but I think it is a little bit obsolete now:
Google suggest to use android studio not Intellj for the application dev
Google suggest to use gradle and not maven
I am not sure whe need anymore actionbarsherlockâŚ
What do you think ?
-
It works.
-
Itâs work.
In few second itâs connected to 3 peers.
Thank you very much for support.

Well, as feathercoin is based on Litecoin, it can be an advantage that we can just pull fixes through the github chain.
If we create a totally independent wallet, we may ending up to duplicate work, as we may have to implement the same fixes as the litecoin devs, but canât use their solution easily.Also, the wallet is only the frontend and as long as it is using feathercoinj, there shoulnât be too many fixes needed.
My personal opinion is to keep the wallet as it is.
A workaround to get the possibility to pull changes from the litecoin wallet directly is to create our own fork of thelitecoin wallet and copy all files of our current version into that fork.
This would enable us to pull changes from the litecoin trunk directly.
On the other hand copy/paste is also not a really big problem

Hi,
My wallet doesnât sync. It shows 3 weeks behaid but in last two days i left it open and still 3 weeks.
what can I do?
I want to put something in the market and without the wallet itâs a problem.
Thanks
-
HI Oded,
Which wallet is not syncing?
UM
-
Hi uncle_muddy,
The android wallet.
Thanks.

Before you do anything export your keys using the âBackup Keysâ option, within the wallet app.
Un-install the application from your device, using the settings menu on the device and then go back to the play store and install âFeatehrcoin Wallet 2â once you have installed that, you should be able to sync without any problems, I have tested it on about 5 devices now and no problems as yet. Make sure you leave your device connected to the power as without it the sync will get interrupted.
Once the sync is complete you can go and import your keys again from the âBackup Keysâ option within the wallet app.
-
Itâs work.
Thank you.
Prodact on thw way to the market
-
Glad itâs working for you now. Iâll try and get some instructions written up properly at some point over the next couple of days but Iâm a bit busy at the moment
-
Been doing some more testing with this todayâŚ
What have we done to the QRCode scanner? itâs very near unusable compared with the old version, from what I can make out the old version of the wallet used to call in a barcode scanner app and then return the result to the wallet, it now looks like the barcode scanner is built into the wallet app.
The scan box on the screen is way to small if this is the case, as I really struggle to scan a code that is 210x210 pixels, where as the old barcode app scans it really quickly and returns the correct answer.
I need to understand whats going on here if possible please, as this will effect a project Iâm working on massively

Not sure which old version of the wallet you are refering to???
I simply took the latest version created by hank from the github repository, changed two lines to fix the connectivity problem, changed the Android ID and pathes to avoid conflicts with hankâs version in playstore, created the package and uploaded it to playstore.
I can test on a tablet only, and it was no problem to scan qr codes with the tablet or get the tabletâs wallet qr-code scanned with a phoneâŚ
