Adding your own app to the TrustChain Super App

You can follow these steps to add a new module to the super app. You can also duplicate an existing module (e.g., trustchain-explorer or debug) and update it according to your needs. However, make sure you still perform the required changes according to this guide.

  1. Create a new Android library module (File - New - New Module... - Android Library).

  2. Define the dependency on common module in build.gradle dependencies of your module: implementation project(':common').

  3. Create a Fragment for your application.

  4. Create a navigation graph in src/main/res/navigation and define your Fragment as a start destination. Make sure to use a unique name for your navigation graph file to prevent collisions with other apps.

  5. Create your own Activity extending BaseActivity, and override navigationGraph to be the ID of your navigation graph, and optionally bottomNavigationMenu to return the menu ID to be used for the bottom navigation.

  6. Define dependency of the super app on your app module by adding implementation project(':my-app') to app/build.gradle dependencies, where my-app is the name of your module.

  7. Define your Activity in app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml.

  8. Define your app in AppDefinition enum in app/src/main/java/nl/tudelft/trustchain/app/AppDefinition.kt. You should specify the icon drawable resource, app name, color, and your Activity class.

  9. Install the super app and check that your app is available in the dashboard and can be opened on click: ./gradlew :app:installDebug
