Ethereum Mobile Wallets

I've set up an Ethereum private blockchain on AWS by using MetaMask with two wallets I can send/receive ether between two wallets without any issues.

This means the private network is working fine. Now I want to demo the private blockchain to some colleagues. But demoing it using the Metamask browser plugin is not simulating a real-world scenario.

So I want to initiate a new transaction on that private blockchain using a mobile device.

Is there any Android Ethereum wallet application (maybe an implementation of Ethereum Light Client) that can connect to any private Ethereum blockchain?

The walleth is allowing users to connect to the test networks, but it's not allowing to connect to any private blockchain. - Tharindu Rajarathna

You could also use go-ethereum's builtin mobile framework, for more info see: https://geth.ethereum.org/docs/dapp/mobile

Actually, you can code any JavaScript wallet and open it inside a web view.

I recommend LightWallet as a JavaScript wallet: https://github.com/ConsenSys/eth-lightwallet

Inside your JS code, you have to use a web3Provider. For your private network, you have to set the host to a running RPC node.

Sample code from github.com/ConsenSys/eth-lightwallet/blob/master/example/example_demo_video.html:

    var web3Provider = new HookedWeb3Provider({
      host: "http://104.236.65.136:8545",
      transaction_signer: keystore
    });

You can also consider building a native mobile wallet. Depending on something like: https://github.com/walleth/walleth. But for demonstration purpose, a web view could be enough.

You can use https://www.myetherwallet.com/ in your mobile browser, and connect to your private network using custom network option of myEtherWallet.
