Send transaction

Motivation

Users will need the ability to send funds to other MobileCoin wallets. This enables the user to do things such as make purchases or transfer funds to other apps/services (sending to exchanges, etc.).

Implementation

Two things should be done before sending a transaction:

1. Obtain PublicAddress of recipient (see share-public-address)

2. Estimate total transaction fee (see calculate-fee)

The rest is fairly simple. The code provided below can be used to create and submit a transaction:

PendingTransaction pendingTransaction = client.prepareTransaction(
        recipientPublicAddress,
        amountToSend,
        fee
);
client.submitTransaction(pendingTransaction.getTransaction());
