Hummingbird

Java implementation of Uniform Resources (UR)

Hummingbird is a Java implementation of the Uniform Resources (UR) specification. It is a direct port of the URKit implementation by Wolf McNally. It contains both the classes to represent a UR, and a UR encoder and decoder to encode and decode to/from the QR representations.

Setup

Hummingbird is hosted in Maven Central and can be added as a dependency with the following:

implementation('com.sparrowwallet:hummingbird:1.1')

Usage

Decoding a UR can be done as follows (here decoding a crypto-psbt UR type):

URDecoder decoder = new URDecoder();
while(decoder.getResult() == null) {
    //Loop adding QR fragments to the decoder until it has a result
    String qrText = getFromNextQR();
    decoder.receivePart(qrText);
}

URDecoder.Result urResult = decoder.getResult();
if(urResult.type == ResultType.SUCCESS) {
    if(urResult.ur.getType().equals(UR.CRYPTO_PSBT_TYPE)) {
        byte[] psbt = urResult.ur.toBytes();       
    }
}

Encoding a UR:

final int MIN_FRAGMENT_LENGTH = 10;
final int MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH = 100;
String type = UR.BYTES_TYPE;

UR ur = UR.fromBytes(type, data);
UREncoder encoder = new UREncoder(ur, MAX_FRAGMENT_LENGTH, MIN_FRAGMENT_LENGTH, 0);
while(true) {
    String fragment = encoder.nextPart();
    //Show UR fragment as QR code...
}

Testing

Hummingbird has a thorough testsuite ported from URKit. The tests can be run with:

./gradlew test
