A library for working with Bitcoin

The listener wasn't being removed properly, because using a method reference in both add and remove generated two different objects and therefore the remove method wasn't finding and removing the listener that was previously added. By saving the listener created by the method reference, we can remove it later. |

It comes with full documentation and some example apps showing how to use it. ### Technologies * Java 8+ (needs Java 8 API or Android 8.0 API, compiles to Java 8 bytecode) and Gradle 4.4+ for the `core` module * Java 11+ and Gradle 4.4+ for `tools`, `wallettool` and `examples` * Java 17+ and Gradle 7.3+ for the JavaFX-based `wallettemplate` * https://gradle.org/[Gradle] - for building the project * https://github.com/google/protobuf[Google Protocol Buffers] - for use with serialization and hardware communications ### Getting started To get started, it is best to have the latest JDK and Gradle installed. The HEAD of the `master` branch contains the latest development code and various production releases are provided on feature branches. #### Building from the command line Official builds are currently using JDK 17. Our GitHub Actions build and test with JDK 11, 17 and 21. To perform a full build (_including_ JavaDocs, unit/integration _tests_, and `wallettemplate`) use JDK 17+. ``` gradle clean build ``` If you are using JDK 17+ and Gradle 7.3+, the build will automatically include the JavaFX-based `wallettemplate` module. The outputs are under the `build` directory. To perform a full build _without_ unit/integration _tests_ use: ``` gradle clean assemble ``` #### Building from an IDE Alternatively, just import the project using your IDE. http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/[IntelliJ] has Gradle integration built-in and has a free Community Edition. Simply use `File | New | Project from Existing Sources` and locate the `build.gradle` in the root of the cloned project source tree. ### Building and Using the Wallet Tool The *bitcoinj* `wallettool` subproject includes a command-line Wallet Tool (`wallet-tool`) that can be used to create and manage *bitcoinj*-based wallets (both the HD keychain and SPV blockchain state.) Using `wallet-tool` on Bitcoin's test net is a great way to learn about Bitcoin and *bitcoinj*. To build an executable shell script that runs the command-line Wallet Tool, use: ``` gradle bitcoinj-wallettool:installDist ``` You can now run the `wallet-tool` without parameters to get help on its operation: ``` ./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool ``` To create a test net wallet file in `~/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet`, you would use: ``` mkdir ~/bitcoinj ``` ``` ./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TESTNET --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet create ``` To sync the newly created wallet in `~/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet` with the test net, you would use: ``` ./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TESTNET --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet sync ``` To dump the state of the wallet in `~/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet` with the test net, you would use: ``` ./wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool --net=TESTNET --wallet=$HOME/bitcoinj/bitcoinj-test.wallet dump ``` NOTE: These instructions are for macOS/Linux, for Windows use the `wallettool/build/install/wallet-tool/bin/wallet-tool.bat` batch file with the equivalent Windows command-line commands and options. ### Building the reference build Our reference build (which is also used for our releases) is running within a container to provide good reproducibility. Buildah 1.26+, Podman 4.1+ and Docker (with BuildKit) are supported. We tested various combinations of host OSes (Debian, Ubuntu, macOS, Windows+WSL) and architectures (amd64, arm64). For usage instructions see `build.Containerfile`. ### Example applications These are found in the `examples` module. ### Where next? Now you are ready to https://bitcoinj.github.io/getting-started[follow the tutorial]. ### Testing a SNAPSHOT build Building apps with official releases of *bitcoinj* is covered in the https://bitcoinj.github.io/getting-started[tutorial]. If you want to develop or test your app with a https://jitpack.io[Jitpack]-powered build of the latest `master` or `release-0.16` branch of *bitcoinj* follow the dynamically-generated instructions for that branch by following the correct link. * https://jitpack.io/#bitcoinj/bitcoinj/master-SNAPSHOT[master] branch * https://jitpack.io/#bitcoinj/bitcoinj/release-0.16-SNAPSHOT[release-0.16] branch
