### Mobile Use (iOS/Android)
Bolt is able to run on mobile devices by leveraging the binding feature of the
[gomobile](https://github.com/golang/mobile) tool. Create a struct that will
contain your database logic and a reference to a *bolt.DB with a initializing
contstructor that takes in a filepath where the database file will be stored.
Neither Android nor iOS require extra permissions or cleanup from using this method.
```go
func NewBoltDB(filepath string) *BoltDB {
db, err := bolt.Open(filepath+"/demo.db", 0600, nil)
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
return &BoltDB{db}
}
type BoltDB struct {
db *bolt.DB
...
}
func (b *BoltDB) Path() string {
return b.db.Path()
}
func (b *BoltDB) Close() {
b.db.Close()
}
```
Database logic should be defined as methods on this wrapper struct.
To initialize this struct from the native language (both platforms now sync
their local storage to the cloud. These snippits disable that functionality for the
database file):
####Android
```java
String path;
if (android.os.Build.VERSION.SDK_INT >=android.os.Build.VERSION_CODES.LOLLIPOP){
path = getNoBackupFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
} else{
path = getFilesDir().getAbsolutePath();
}
Boltmobiledemo.BoltDB boltDB = Boltmobiledemo.NewBoltDB(path)
```
####iOS
```objc
- (void)demo {
NSString* path = [NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSLibraryDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES) objectAtIndex:0];
GoBoltmobiledemoBoltDB * demo = GoBoltmobiledemoNewBoltDB(path);
[self addSkipBackupAttributeToItemAtPath:demo.path];
//Some DB Logic would go here
[demo close];
}
- (BOOL)addSkipBackupAttributeToItemAtPath:(NSString *) filePathString
{
NSURL* URL= [NSURL fileURLWithPath: filePathString];
assert([[NSFileManager defaultManager] fileExistsAtPath: [URL path]]);
NSError *error = nil;
BOOL success = [URL setResourceValue: [NSNumber numberWithBool: YES]
forKey: NSURLIsExcludedFromBackupKey error: &error];
if(!success){
NSLog(@"Error excluding %@ from backup %@", [URL lastPathComponent], error);
}
return success;
}
```
