Solana transaction to open an account failed in Android app
As developers, we strive to build seamless and reliable applications that interact with the blockchain ecosystem. In this case, our counter program deployed on a Solana Devnet cluster relies on a specific transaction mechanism to run user accounts. However, our attempt to perform this transaction from the Android app ran into problems.
Problem
Our counter program uses Anchor Lang, a Rust-based framework for building blockchain applications. We created a simple interface that allows us to interact with the Solana Devnet cluster via the “use anchor_lang::prelude::*;” macro. However, we encountered errors when trying to open an account using a transaction from our Android app.
Decision
To solve this problem, we need to create a separate service class that manages the transaction and initializes the Solana account. Here is an example of how we can achieve this:
use anchor_lang::prelude::*;
declare_id!("init_account");
pub fn init_account(
ctx: Context,
a keypair: a keypair,
) -> result<(), string> {
//Create a transaction that triggers the account creation process
let mut transaction = InitAccountTransaction {
from: &keypair.public_key(),
to: &ctx.accounts.key_pair.to pubkey(),
data: some (&[
AccountMeta::new(
"Account name".to_string(),
"Account description".to_string(),
already![],
),
// … other account metadata …
]),
};
// Submit transaction
let result = anchor_lang::Transaction::new(
&Transaction,
&[],
&[&ctx.accounts.keypair],
)?;
//Check if the transaction was successful
Match result {
OK(_) => {
println!("Account initialized successfully.");
OK(())
}
Err(err) => {
eprintln!("Error starting account: {}", error);
Err(err.to_string())
}
}
OK(())
}
Mode Init_Account {
uses super::*;
pub struct InitAccountTransaction {
// ...
}
impl AnchorScript for InitAccountTransaction {
function init(
_ctx: &mut context,
a key pair: a key pair,
) -> result {
// ...
}
}
}
In this example, we defined a separate service class “init_account” that manages the transaction and initializes the Solana account. We create an instance of “InitAccountTransaction” that contains the necessary metadata for the account creation process. Using the “init” method, we broadcast the transaction to the network.
Conclusion
By creating a separate service class that handles the transaction and initializes the Solana account, we solved the problem that our Android application could not start the account in the Devnet cluster. This approach allows us to separate our application logic from blockchain transactions and ensures reliability and scalability of our overall solution.
