Send failed for NEW Address

[kunalransing]

Hi, My user can add his other NEM wallet's address which can be new, so below code is not working since not able to get public key using KeyConvertor.getPublicKeyFromAddress().

		NemAnnounceResult result = TransferTransactionBuilder
			    .sender(new Account(new KeyPair(PrivateKey.fromHexString("---private key----")))) 
			    .recipient(new Account(new KeyPair(PublicKey.fromHexString(**KeyConvertor.getPublicKeyFromAddress**("TCX3DLZ4YEJF2YRPXFG3VN6R2Y5ZEFUH32VADHXH")))))
			    .amount(Amount.fromMicroNem( amount.multiply(BigDecimal.valueOf(MICRONEMS_IN_NEM)).longValue()))
			    .fee(Amount.fromMicroNem( fee.multiply(BigDecimal.valueOf(MICRONEMS_IN_NEM)).longValue()) )
			    .buildAndSendTransaction();

How to send coins in above case ? Please help me. Thanks.

Only accounts that have already published a transaction have a public key assigned to the account. Otherwise the field is null.

See NIS1 API documentation https://nemproject.github.io/#account-related-requests

This is the reason why .getPublicKeyFromAddress cannot be used to get the public key for the account.

To send a simple transfer transaction without an encrypted message, it is not necessary to have the public key of the recipient (address is enough).
