• Android SDK. You can install the SDK via Android Studio or as stand-alone tools. See Installing the Android SDK.
• Android Studio IDE 3.2+ (the official IDE for Android) or Gradle if you prefer CLI.

This is the recommended way to run samples.

• Import sample project into Android Studio. In the welcome screen, click Import project (Eclipse ADT, Gradle, etc.). Navigate to the sample directory and select a sample project to import.
• Update source code with your AWS resources. Please read the README of each sample for more details.
• Run it!

• Make sure ANDROID_HOME environment variable is set to point to your Android SDK. See Getting Started with Gradle.
• Update source code with your AWS resources. Please read the README of each sample for more details.
• Connect an Android device to your computer or start an Android emulator. The minimum required API version for most samples is API level 10.
• Compile the sample and install it. Run gradlew installDebug. Or if you on a Windows computer, use gradlew.bat instead.

• We typically include the dependencies in the repo and have them already linked, so if you move the project you'll need to also update the path to the dependency. To do this, modify the project.properties file of the project

• Change the path to the library in project.properties of the project you are building to be the path to the version you want

• To fix this, make sure that all the jars you are using conform to the same version. You can do this by just replacing all the problematic jars with the version you would like to use.

• The jar is usually already included where required. However, if not or if you want to use a different version, you can find it here.

We use AWS Android SDK GitHub issues for tracking questions, bugs, and feature requests.
