Signing

Learn how to sign messages and transactions in your Android app using Turnkey’s Embedded Wallets.

Overview

The Kotlin SDK provides a simple way to sign messages and transactions in your Android application using Turnkey’s Embedded Wallets.

Signing messages

To sign messages, use the signMessage function from the TurnkeyContext. First pick a wallet account from wallets (for example, the first wallet’s first account), then sign your message.

import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.lifecycle.lifecycleScope
import com.turnkey.core.TurnkeyContext
import kotlinx.coroutines.launch

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    private val activity = this

    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button)

        button.setOnClickListener {
            try {
                lifecycleScope.launch {
                    val wallets = TurnkeyContext.wallets.value
                    val selectedWalletAccount = wallets?.firstOrNull()?.accounts?.firstOrNull()
                        ?: throw Exception("No account found. Create a wallet and account before signing.")

                    val signature = TurnkeyContext.signMessage(
                        signWith = selectedWalletAccount.address,
                        addressFormat = selectedWalletAccount.addressFormat,
                        message = "Hello Turnkey!"
                    )

                    println("${signature.r}${signature.s}${signature.v}")
                }
            } catch (t: Throwable) {
                println(t)
            }
        }
    }
}

Signing transactions

To sign transactions, use the signTransaction function from the TurnkeyContext.client. Select a wallet account, prepare an unsigned transaction, and specify a transaction type (for example, TRANSACTION_TYPE_ETHEREUM).

import android.os.Bundle
import android.widget.Button
import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity
import androidx.lifecycle.lifecycleScope
import com.turnkey.core.TurnkeyContext
import com.turnkey.types.TSignTransactionBody
import com.turnkey.types.V1TransactionType
import kotlinx.coroutines.flow.firstOrNull
import kotlinx.coroutines.launch

class MainActivity : AppCompatActivity() {
    override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
        super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
        setContentView(R.layout.activity_main)

        val button = findViewById<Button>(R.id.button)

        button.setOnClickListener {
            lifecycleScope.launch {
                try {
                    val wallets = TurnkeyContext.wallets.value
                    val selectedWalletAccount = wallets?.firstOrNull()?.accounts?.firstOrNull()
                        ?: throw Exception("No account found. Create a wallet and account before signing.")
                    val organizationId = TurnkeyContext.session.value?.organizationId
                        ?: throw Exception("No session found")

                    val unsignedTransaction =
                        "0x..."; // Replace with your unsigned transaction data
                    val res = TurnkeyContext.client.signTransaction(
                        TSignTransactionBody(
                            organizationId = organizationId,
                            signWith = selectedWalletAccount.address,
                            unsignedTransaction = unsignedTransaction,
                            type = V1TransactionType.TRANSACTION_TYPE_ETHEREUM
                        )
                    )

                    val signedTransaction =
                        res.activity.result.signTransactionResult?.signedTransaction
                            ?: throw Exception("Failed to sign transaction")

                    println(signedTransaction)
                } catch (t: Throwable) {
                    println(t)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}
