Meshtastic-Android/core/repository

:core:repository

Overview

The :core:repository module defines the data and infrastructure contracts for the Meshtastic KMP architecture. It is almost entirely interfaces — concrete implementations live in :core:service and platform modules. Consumers receive :core:model and :core:proto transitively because both are api()-exported.

Targets: Android · JVM · iOS (via meshtastic.kmp.library convention plugin)

Key Responsibilities

• Define the reactive data contracts between the long-running mesh service and all feature/UI layers
• Declare the raw hardware I/O interface (RadioTransport)
• Provide the mesh node database interface (NodeRepository)
• Expose per-node remote-admin passkey management (SessionManager)
• Host all packet handlers (admin, telemetry, traceroute, store-and-forward, neighbour info)
• Manage the outbound message queue, MQTT bridge, and XModem firmware transfer
• Provide the AppWidgetUpdater contract so the mesh service can trigger widget refreshes without depending on Android widget APIs directly

Core Interfaces

RadioTransport

Raw hardware I/O contract for all physical transports (BLE, USB, TCP, Mock).

interface RadioTransport {
    fun handleSendToRadio(p: ByteArray)
    fun start()
    fun keepAlive()
    suspend fun close()
}

ServiceRepository

The primary reactive bridge between the long-running mesh service and all feature/UI layers.

interface ServiceRepository {
    val connectionState: StateFlow<ConnectionState>
    val clientNotification: StateFlow<ClientNotification?>
    val errorMessage: StateFlow<String?>
    val connectionProgress: StateFlow<String?>
    val meshPacketFlow: Flow<MeshPacket>
    val tracerouteResponse: Flow<...>
    val neighborInfoResponse: Flow<...>
    val serviceAction: Flow<ServiceAction>

    fun setConnectionState(state: ConnectionState)
    fun emitMeshPacket(packet: MeshPacket)
    fun onServiceAction(action: ServiceAction)
}

NodeRepository

Reactive mesh node database. Backed by Room KMP in :core:service.

interface NodeRepository {
    val myNodeInfo: StateFlow<MyNodeInfo?>
    val ourNodeInfo: StateFlow<Node?>
    val myId: StateFlow<String?>
    val localStats: StateFlow<LocalStats>
    val nodeDBbyNum: StateFlow<Map<Int, Node>>
    val onlineNodeCount: Flow<Int>
    val totalNodeCount: Flow<Int>

    fun getNodes(sort, filter, includeUnknown, onlyOnline, onlyDirect): Flow<List<Node>>
    suspend fun upsert(node: Node)
    suspend fun clearNodeDB(preserveFavorites: Boolean = false)
    suspend fun deleteNode(num: Int)
    suspend fun insertMetadata(nodeNum: Int, metadata: DeviceMetadata)
    suspend fun installConfig(mi: MyNodeInfo, nodes: List<NodeInfo>)
}

SessionManager

Per-node remote-admin passkey store, consumed by :core:domain's EnsureRemoteAdminSessionUseCase.

interface SessionManager {
    fun recordSession(srcNodeNum: Int, passkey: ByteString)
    fun getPasskey(destNum: Int): ByteString
    fun clearAll()
    val sessionRefreshFlow: Flow<Int>
    fun observeSessionStatus(destNum: Int): Flow<SessionStatus>
}
