Use AWS SDK

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 Dependencies may become outdated and potentially introduce compatibility issues.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.

If you need functionality in the AWS services used by the Amplify Predictions category that isn't available, we provide an escape hatch so you can get a reference to that service. For example, to get a reference to AmazonRekognitionClient:

// Obtain reference to the plugin
AWSPredictionsPlugin predictionsPlugin = (AWSPredictionsPlugin)
        Amplify.Predictions.getPlugin("awsPredictionsPlugin");
AWSPredictionsEscapeHatch escapeHatch = predictionsPlugin.getEscapeHatch();
// Send a new request to the Rekognition endpoint directly using the client
AmazonRekognitionClient client = escapeHatch.getRekognitionClient();
CreateCollectionRequest request = new CreateCollectionRequest()
        .withCollectionId("<new-collection-id-here>");
client.createCollection(request);

// Obtain reference to the plugin
val plugin = Amplify.Predictions.getPlugin("awsPredictionsPlugin")
val escapeHatch = (plugin as AWSPredictionsPlugin).escapeHatch
// Send a new request to the Rekognition endpoint directly using the client
val client = escapeHatch.rekognitionClient
val request = CreateCollectionRequest().withCollectionId("<new-collection-id-here>")
client.createCollection(request)
