The Stellar Kotlin Cloent adapts the official Stellar java sdk with some Kotlin specific goodness. The main goal for the library is to get rid of the boilerplate that is needed for using the Java SDK. This is done by leveraging features in Kotlin to add extension methods to the official APIs, introduce DSL style APIs for things like transactions, etc.
Inbot the company for which I developed this library originally is no more. So, I forked the repository and put it under my own account and renamed the project to Stellar Kotlin Client. Any future releases will be done from here. For API compatibility, the kotlin package of io.inbot.kotlinstellar is still used. So, you should be able to upgrade simply by using the latest releases.
- make transaction submission and error handling easier. Our
doTransactionextension function for the Server class in the sdk does retries on timeout and throws a runtime exceptions if the the result is not successful. - make dealing with assets, asset codes, and token amounts less painful. The SDK represents amounts as strings; Stellar represents amounts as Long values. So, 1 XLM (the 'native' token) is actually represented as 10^7 or 10M stroops. To make dealing with amounts and calculating rates correctly, we have added a
TokenAmountdata class. This does all the right things and comes with several factory methods so you can construct amounts from a String, a Double, or a pair of longs to represent tokens and stroops. We also add several extension methods to get instances of this class from relevant classes in the SDK KotlinStellarWrapperprovides simple functions to do common things like creating new accounts, adding trust lines, doing payments, or making offers.
As part of this library, we also included a Command Line Interface for STEllar (CLISTE) that you can use to interact with stellar. This started out as a demo app for the library and quickly became a very convenient tool for us to interact with stellar. Using UIs like stellar laboratory is comparatively tedious and slow.
- Fully supports working with Standalone stellar instances running on localhost. Most wallets do not support this at all.
- On the standalone net, you can bootstrap accounts without the friendbot.
- Easily switch between standalone, testnet, and public net.
- create accounts, do payments, offers, multi signature payments, list trades, and much more
- Easily create and manage your own assets, trustlines, etc.
- Manage lists of accounts and assets and use human readable aliases for your key accounts in cliste invocations. This is highly useful for scripting scenarios using a standalone net. We have used this for prototyping the stellar launch of our token.
- and much more ...
Note. we will likely move cliste to its own repository after the 1.0 release of this library.
Create a custom asset with a trust line as per the walkthrough.
Note: also look at our integration tests for a more in-depth impression of how useful this is.

To build, you need docker and docker-compose installed. The gradle build uses a plugin to spin up the included docker-compose for the standalone network.
