Make lockdown a runtime, user-toggleable setting rather than a one-way lock:
- Thread a `disable` flag through the lockdown send path (CommandSender,
LockdownCoordinator, MeshActionHandler, RadioController, AIDL, UIViewModel)
so the app can send LockdownAuth{passphrase, disable=true} to decrypt
storage and leave lockdown.
- Add LockdownState.Disabled and map LockdownStatus.State.DISABLED; clear the
stored passphrase and session authorization when a device reports DISABLED
(or when the user disables it), so we never auto-unlock a disabled device.
- Add a "Lockdown mode" switch to the security settings screen
(LockdownModeSetting): enable from DISABLED via a set-passphrase dialog with
a one-time irreversible-SWD warning + explicit confirm; disable from UNLOCKED
via a passphrase prompt; "Lock now" and session info while unlocked. The
setting is hidden when the device never reports lockdown_status (non-capable).
- Tests for the disable round-trip and DISABLED mapping; refresh fakes/strings.

:core:api (Meshtastic Android API)
Deprecation notice
The AIDL-based service integration (
IMeshService) is deprecated and will be removed in a future release. The recommended integration path for ATAK and other external apps is the built-in Local TAK Server introduced incore:takserver. Connect ATAK to127.0.0.1:8087(TCP) and import the DataPackage exported from the TAK Config screen to complete setup. No AIDL binding or JitPack dependency is required.
Overview
The :core:api module contains the AIDL interface and dependencies for third-party applications
that currently integrate with the Meshtastic Android app via service binding. New integrations
should use the Local TAK Server instead (see deprecation notice above).
Integration
To communicate with the Meshtastic Android service from your own application, we recommend using JitPack.
Dependencies
Add the following to your build.gradle.kts:
dependencies {
// The core AIDL interface and Intent constants
implementation("com.github.meshtastic.Meshtastic-Android:meshtastic-android-api:v2.x.x")
// Data models (DataPacket, MeshUser, NodeInfo, etc.) - Kotlin Multiplatform
implementation("com.github.meshtastic.Meshtastic-Android:meshtastic-android-model:v2.x.x")
// Protobuf definitions (PortNum, Telemetry, etc.) - Kotlin Multiplatform
implementation("com.github.meshtastic.Meshtastic-Android:meshtastic-android-proto:v2.x.x")
}
(Replace v2.x.x with the latest stable version).
Usage
1. Bind to the Service
Use the IMeshService interface to bind to the Meshtastic service.
val intent = Intent("com.geeksville.mesh.Service")
// ... query package manager and bind
2. Interact with the API
Once bound, cast the IBinder to IMeshService.
3. Register a BroadcastReceiver
Use MeshtasticIntent constants for actions. Remember to use RECEIVER_EXPORTED on Android 13+.
Key Components
IMeshService.aidl: The primary AIDL interface.MeshtasticIntent.kt: Defines Intent actions for received messages and status changes.
