Amazon web services provide us multiple services like Storage, Database, Application integration, etc.
Today let’s talk about the S3 service which is providing storage to upload your documents like global server storage. If you just want to use the S3 server directly(using IAM user) without cognito authentication then you just need to follow the few steps given below:
So the configuration of the project is done, Let’s move to the development part:
implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-s3:2.16.4' implementation ('com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-mobile-client:2.17.1@aar'){ transitive = true; }
<uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.INTERNET" /> <uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE" /> <uses-permission-sdk-23 android:name="android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE" /> <application ...> <service android:name="com.amazonaws.mobileconnectors.s3.transferutility.TransferService" android:enabled="true"/> </application>
import android.content.Context import android.util.Log import com.amazonaws.auth.BasicAWSCredentials import com.amazonaws.mobileconnectors.s3.transferutility.* import com.amazonaws.regions.Region import com.amazonaws.regions.Regions import com.amazonaws.services.s3.AmazonS3Client import com.amazonaws.services.s3.model.CannedAccessControlList import com.urgidoctor.models.AwsCredentialsResponse import java.io.File class AWSS3Client( private val context: Context, private val awsFileUploadStatusListener: AWSFileUploadStatusListener ) { private val TAG = "AWSS3Client" fun uploadFile(file: File, awsCredentialsResponse: AwsCredentialsResponse, bucket:String) { startReadingAndUploading(file, awsCredentialsResponse,bucket) } private fun startReadingAndUploading( file: File, awsCredentialsResponse: AwsCredentialsResponse, bucket: String ) { val awsCredentials = BasicAWSCredentials( awsCredentialsResponse.awsAccessKey, awsCredentialsResponse.awsSecretKey ) val s3Client = AmazonS3Client(awsCredentials, Region.getRegion(Regions.US_EAST_1)) val transferUtility: TransferUtility = TransferUtility.builder() .context(context) .s3Client(s3Client) .build() TransferNetworkLossHandler.getInstance(context) val transferObserver: TransferObserver = transferUtility.upload( bucket, file.name, file, CannedAccessControlList.PublicReadWrite ) transferObserver.setTransferListener(object : TransferListener { override fun onStateChanged(id: Int, state: TransferState) { Log.e(TAG, "onStateChanged : $id $state") if (state === TransferState.COMPLETED) { val url = s3Client.getUrl(bucket, file.name) awsFileUploadStatusListener.fileUploadCompleted(url.toString()) Log.e(TAG, "onStateChanged url: $url") } else if (state === TransferState.CANCELED) { } } override fun onProgressChanged(id: Int, bytesCurrent: Long, bytesTotal: Long) { val percentDoneF = bytesCurrent.toFloat() / bytesTotal.toFloat() * 100 val percentDone = percentDoneF.toInt() Log.e(TAG, "onProgressChanged : $percentDone") } override fun onError(id: Int, exception: Exception) { Log.e(TAG, "onError : " + id + " " + exception.localizedMessage) awsFileUploadStatusListener.fileUploadError() } }) } interface AWSFileUploadStatusListener { fun fileUploadCompleted(url: String) fun fileUploadError() } }
Note: I have created a simple listener for the callback of complete and failure result so we can implement and get back the response in the same view
You can use this class like below:
//Simple AWS credential class to store keys class AwsCredentialsResponse { var awsAccessKey:String="your access key" var awsSecretKey:String="your secret key" } import android.os.Bundle import androidx.appcompat.app.AppCompatActivity import androidx.databinding.DataBindingUtil import com.urgidoctor.BuildConfig import com.urgidoctor.R import com.urgidoctor.databinding.ActivityCreateProfileStepsBinding import com.urgidoctor.models.AwsCredentialsResponse import com.urgidoctor.utils.* import java.io.File class CreateProfileStepsActivity : AppCompatActivity(), AWSS3Client.AWSFileUploadStatusListener{ private val fileObject: File lateinit var createProfileStepsBinding: ActivityCreateProfileStepsBinding override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) { super.onCreate(savedInstanceState) createProfileStepsBinding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this, R.layout.activity_create_profile_steps) uploadProfilePicOnAWS(fileObject) } private fun uploadProfilePicOnAWS(file: File) { AWSS3Client(this, this).uploadFile( file, AwsCredentialsResponse(), “Your bucket” ) } override fun fileUploadCompleted(url: String) { // you will get the se server file url here } override fun fileUploadError() { // handle failure case } }
Note: Please save your credentials somewhere when you are creating a new account or IAM user on AWS because you’ll not get a secret key in the future from the console.
