We are excited to announce the development of our Kotlin client library, following up on our recent Java library release. Kotlin, a language known for its conciseness and safety features, offers an alternative to Java and is especially favored in Android app development. The Lithic Kotlin SDK is similar to the Lithic Java SDK but with minor differences that make it more ergonomic for use in Kotlin.

This new library will continue our commitment to simplifying and enhancing the development experience when interfacing with the Lithic API. It will provide the same suite of functions as our Java library, including:

  • Configuring custom URLs, proxies, and transports
  • Automatic retries with a short exponential backoff
  • Listing transactions with auto-pagination
  • Creating cards and accounts
  • Adding funding sources
  • Request timeouts
  • Error handling
  • … and much more

As we fine-tune our Kotlin client library, we invite you to participate in the testing process. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping our libraries and enhancing the Lithic developer experience. Contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions.

Keep an eye on our GitHub page for the release of the Kotlin package. In the meantime, we encourage you to explore our existing Java, Node.js, Python, and Go libraries.
