Android application which monitors Bitcoin, cryptocurrencies, cryptoassets and derivatives, triggering alarms according to user settings.
Supports 2 alarm types:
- Price Hit - Triggered when price crosses the alarm's upper or lower limit. One limit may be left empty to create an alarm with a single trigger.
- Price Change - Triggered when price changes more than X amount (in currency or percentage) in a specified time frame (e.g. 15 min). It uses a rolling time frame: price is fetched with a given update interval (e.g. 30 s) and compared with the price fetched one time frame ago (e.g. 15 min ago).
Sound and vibration are configurable globally, and individually for each alarm. Lists of exchanges, pairs and alarms are fully searchable, allowing quick setup and configuration. The alarm list behaves as your ticker, where you can reorder your alarms and directly change their limits. Triggered alarms ring, displaying their status, until you turn them off. Just like an alarm clock.
Market data is retrieved directly from the exchanges via Wi-Fi or Mobile Data (if allowed). libdynticker is used to interface with the exchanges. Thus, Boilr supports all exchanges available on libdynticker, as all their pairs.
To create alarms Boilr uses libpricealarm.
Other libraries we use: changeloglib and UndoBar.

- Fill out the prerequisites for Android Maven Plugin.
- Install Android API 21 SDK and Android Support Library.
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=android -DartifactId=android -Dversion=5.1_r1 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=$ANDROID_HOME/platforms/android-22/android.jar
mvn install:install-file -DgroupId=com.android.support -DartifactId=support-annotations -Dversion=21.0.0 -Dpackaging=jar -Dfile=$ANDROID_HOME/extras/android/support/annotations/android-support-annotations.jar
- Run
mvn validate
to make Maven aware of the plugins used to download and install dependencies which are not in Maven repositories.
For now on you can use:
mvn package -P debug
to build an apk in debug mode.mvn package -P release
to build an apk in release mode, which will be optimized, signed and aligned.mvn android:deploy
to install the generated apk in any connected phones or emulators.
Note: mvn package
with no profile associated builds an unsigned release mode apk, unsuitable for deploy. It is meant for further processing by downstream projects like F-Droid.
On your shell you can use export ANDROID_LOG_TAGS="ActivityManager:I Boilr:D *:S"
to filter logcat, then run adb logcat
as usual.
If you are no vi or emacs ninja you can use Eclipse to ease your work in Boilr.
- Install and configure the ADT plugin.
- Install m2e-android.
- Clone changeloglib. Go to
File->Import->Existing Android Code Into Workspace
, import just what's in theChangeLogLibrary
directory and name the new project asChangeLogLibrary
. - Clone UndoBar. Go to
File->Import->Existing Android Code Into Workspace
, import just what's in thelibrary
directory and name the new project asUndoBar
. - Go to
File->Import->Existing Projects into Workspace
and select Boilr's git root directory.
Use Eclipse only for writing code. Always compile in the shell using Maven.
Note: we do plan to migrate to a Gradle build system and Android Studio IDE in the near future.
