Load a Private Key from a PEM File

See more Private Key Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat PrivateKey.LoadPemFile method, which loads a private key from a PEM file. The only argument is the file path. It cannot load a password-protected key — use LoadEncryptedPemFile for that.

Note: The file path is relative to the application's current working directory. Absolute paths may also be used. Supply the path to your own key file.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

      // Note: If the incorrect library name is passed to System.loadLibrary,
      // then you will see the following error message at application startup:
