gobotexample

this is a starting example to use the go-ssb "ssb-server" as a package.

gomobile

The Mobile page on the golang wiki is a good starting intro. Use the SDK instructions but change golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic with this package. Probably want to fork it first and then add all your stuff like passing configs from android and setting up storage locations and what not... If you fork it, replace github.com/cryptix/gobotexample with your own import path!

gomobile modules workaround

there is some weirdness with Go Modules and gomobile, you want to use export GO111MODULE=off for the foresable future to run the gomobile bind ... call.

The current checked in deps should work but here is how to update them:

# switch on module mode to update the `go.mod` file
export GO111MODULE=on

# pull in your wanted version of a dep
go get go.cryptoscope.co/ssb@someNewStuffOrVersion

# copy the dependencies into the `vendor/` folder
go mod vendor

# switch of module module mode for the actual building
export GO111MODULE=off

# compile all the dependencies
# the output should include lines containing github.com/cryptix/gobotexample/vendor/.... (or what ever you changed the impport of this project to)
go build -v -i

# run the (very basic) tests to see the bot starts and stops
go test

# build the cross-compiled bindings
gomobile bind -o app/gosbot.aar -target=android github.com/cryptix/gobotexample

As a sanity check there is a simple start>sleep(1)>stop test (run go test) that you can use before running gomobile .. to see if the code compiles.
