Use AWS SDK

Amplify Android v1 is now in Maintenance Mode until May 31st, 2024. This means that we will continue to include updates to ensure compatibility with backend services and security. No new features will be introduced in v1.

Please use the latest version (v2) of Amplify Library for Android to get started.

If you are currently using v1, follow these instructions to upgrade to v2.

Amplify libraries should be used for all new cloud connected applications. If you are currently using the AWS Mobile SDK for Android, you can access the documentation here.

For advanced use cases where Amplify does not provide the functionality, you can retrieve the escape hatch to access the AmazonS3Client instance:

1AWSS3StoragePlugin plugin = (AWSS3StoragePlugin) Amplify.Storage.getPlugin("awsS3StoragePlugin");
2AmazonS3Client client = plugin.getEscapeHatch();

1val plugin = Amplify.Storage.getPlugin("awsS3StoragePlugin") as AWSS3StoragePlugin
2val client = plugin.escapeHatch
