Create, update, and delete application data

Amplify Android v1 is deprecated as of June 1st, 2024. No new features or bug fixes will be added. Dependencies may become outdated and potentially introduce compatibility issues.

Please use the latest version (v2) of Amplify Library for Android to get started. Refer to the upgrade guide for instructions on upgrading your application to the latest version.

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.

Run a mutation

Now that the client is set up, you can run a GraphQL mutation with Amplify.API.mutate to create, update, and delete your data.

Todo todo = Todo.builder()
.name("My todo")
.build();
Amplify.API.mutate(ModelMutation.create(todo),
response -> Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", "Todo with id: " + response.getData().getId()),
error -> Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Create failed", error)
);
val todo = Todo.builder()
.name("My todo")
.build()
Amplify.API.mutate(ModelMutation.create(todo),
{ Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", "Todo with id: ${it.data.id}") }
{ Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Create failed", it) }
)
val todo = Todo.builder()
.name("My todo")
.build()
try {
val response = Amplify.API.mutate(ModelMutation.create(todo))
Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", "Todo with id: ${response.data.id}")
} catch (error: ApiException) {
Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Create failed", error)
}
Todo todo = Todo.builder()
.name("My todo")
.build();
RxAmplify.API.mutate(ModelMutation.create(todo))
.subscribe(
response -> Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", "Todo with id: " + response.getData().getId()),
error -> Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Create failed", error)
);

To update data, use ModelMutation.update(todo) instead. To delete data, use ModelMutation.delete(todo).
