During this maintenance period:
We recommend that you start using AWS Amplify for Android, our modern feature-rich library designed specifically for building cloud-connected apps powered by AWS. You can refer to the AWS SDK for Android migration guide to help you transition to AWS Amplify for Android. This version is scheduled to reach End of Support on August 1, 2026. After this date, no further updates of any kind will be provided. See maintenance policy for more information about the Amplify Client Library lifecycle.
The AWS SDK for Android is a collection of low-level libraries for direct interaction with AWS backend services. Full documentation of the SDK can be found here: AWS SDK Documentation
The AWS SDK for Android can be directly embedded via .aar files, or you can download it from the Maven Central repository, by integrating it into your Android project's Gradle files.
We recommend obtaining the dependency from Maven. To do so, add a dependency to your app's (module-level) build.gradle, in the dependencies section:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-SERVICE:2.x.y'
}
Above, SERVICE might be s3, ddb, pinpoint, etc. A full list is provided below.
There are a few fundamentals that are helpful to know when developing against the AWS SDK for Android.
The Android SDK is versioned like 2.x.y. 2 is a product identifier that never changes. x is bumped when there are breaking changes. y is bumped for not-breaking bugfixes, or for the introduction of new features/capabilities.
The AWS Core Runtime (aws-android-sdk-core) module builds against Android API Level 23. Please download and install Android API Level 23 through SDK Manager in Android Studio, before building the SDK.
Set the ANDROID_HOME environment variable, to the root directory of your Android SDK installation.
For example, on a Mac OS X where Android Studio has been installed, the SDK comes bundled with it.
export ANDROID_HOME="$HOME/Library/Android/sdk"Consuming Development Versions
Once you've built the SDK, you can manually install the SDK by publishing its artifacts to your local Maven repository.
The local Maven repository is usually found in your home directory at ~/.m2/repository.
To publish the outputs of the build, execute the following command from the root of the amplify-android project:
./gradlew publishToMavenLocal
After this, you can use the published development artifacts from an app. To do so, specify mavenLocal() inside the app's top-level build.gradle(Project) file:
buildscript {
repositories {
mavenLocal() // this should ideally appear before other repositories
}
dependencies {
classpath 'com.android.tools.build:gradle:4.0.1'
}
}
allprojects {
repositories {
mavenLocal() // this should ideally appear before other repositories
}
}
Then, find the VERSION_NAME of the library inside gradle.properties file.
Use the above version to specify dependencies in your app's build.gradle (:app) file:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-SERVICE:VERSION_NAME'
}
