Amazon-S3-Integration-in-Android

A sample project with descriptive information explaining about getting started and play with Amazon s3 from Android

Following are covered in this repo/tutorial/example

  1. Creating a bucket
  2. Create Identity pool
  3. Configure IAM Role
  4. Getting started with Android integration
  5. Generating presignedrequest url

  1. Creating a bucket

    Signin with your amazon credentials and click s3 alt tag

    Enter your details and click create. You can create setup logging, if you need alt tag

  2. Create Identity pool

    To create an identity pool: Log in to the Amazon Cognito Console and click on Create new identity pool button.

    • I am creating as imranbucket
    • Make sure you check the checkbox to enable access to unauthenticated identities.
    • Click on the Create Pool button to create identity pool.

    alt tag

    Click on the Allow button to create two default roles associated with your identity pool: one for unauthenticated users and one for authenticated users. alt tag

    Bucket is created, cognito identifier is created, let us give the necessary permissions to the bucket

  3. Configure IAM role

    • Go to Amazon IAM Console and select "Roles".
    • Select the unauth role you just created in step 1, which is of the form Cognito_<IdentityPoolName>Unauth_Role.
    • Select Attach Policy, then find AmazonS3FullAccess and attach it it to the role.
    • Note: This will grant users in the identity pool full access to all buckets and operations in S3. In a real app, you should restrict users to only have access to the resources they need.

    alt tag

    After you selected UnAuthRole, Click on Attach policy and find AmazonS3FullAccess and attach it alt tag alt tag

    Thats it, you are done :) Let's move onto Android

  4. Getting started with Android integration

    a) Get the AWS Mobile SDK for Android

     dependencies {
     	implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-s3:2.18.0'
         implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-cognito:2.18.0'
         implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-cognitoidentityprovider:2.18.0'
     }
    

    b) set the necessary manifest permissons like Internet

    c) Let us add the transfer service of SDK

     Goto Manifest and add Transfer Service
    
     <service
         android:name="com.amazonaws.mobileconnectors.s3.transferutility.TransferService"
         android:enabled="true" />
    

    d) Initialize Credential Provider

     credProvider = CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider(
                 context,
                 AWSKeys.COGNITO_POOL_ID,  // Identity Pool ID
                 AWSKeys.MY_REGION // Region
    

    e) Set Amazon client

    amzonS3Client = AmazonS3Client(getCredProvider(context),Region.getRegion(AWSKeys.MY_REGION))
    

    f) Configure your keys in AWSKEYS.java before running the application

     object AWSKeys {
         internal const val COGNITO_POOL_ID = "YOUR COGNITO POOL ID"
         internal val MY_REGION = Regions.AP_SOUTHEAST_1 // WHAT EVER REGION IT MAY BE,PLEASE CHOOSE EXACT
         const val BUCKET_NAME = "YOUR BUCKET"
       }
    

    g) Set file to upload

     File file = new File(filePath);
     ObjectMetadata myObjectMetadata = new ObjectMetadata();
     myObjectMetadata.setContentType("image/png");
     String mediaUrl = file.getName();
     TransferObserver observer = transferUtility.upload(AWSKeys.BUCKET_NAME, mediaUrl,
             file);
     observer.setTransferListener(new UploadListener());
    

    h) To know the status of uploading and downloading the file, we need to set transfer listeners. Amazon SDK provides TransferObserver class

     private class UploadListener implements TransferListener {
    
         // Simply updates the UI list when notified.
         @Override
         public void onError(int id, Exception e) {
             Log.e(TAG, "Error during upload: " + id, e);
             s3UploadInterface.onUploadError(e.toString());
             s3UploadInterface.onUploadError("Error");
         }
    
         @Override
         public void onProgressChanged(int id, long bytesCurrent, long bytesTotal) {
             Log.d(TAG, String.format("onProgressChanged: %d, total: %d, current: %d",
                     id, bytesTotal, bytesCurrent));
         }
    
         @Override
         public void onStateChanged(int id, TransferState newState) {
             Log.d(TAG, "onStateChanged: " + id + ", " + newState);
             if (newState == TransferState.COMPLETED) {
                 s3UploadInterface.onUploadSuccess("Success");
             }
         }
     }
    
  5. ** Generate PresignedUrl**

    If you want to store the image details in the DB, obviously you will not store the entire image, you need to store the image in some storage places and give the references to the DB. So in Amazon, after we store the image to s3, we need a reference or url to save in DB.

    Let us create presignedurl

     val overrideHeader = ResponseHeaderOverrides()
     overrideHeader.contentType = getMimeType(path)
     val mediaUrl = f.name
     val generatePresignedUrlRequest = GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(study.amazons3integration.aws.AWSKeys.BUCKET_NAME, mediaUrl)
     generatePresignedUrlRequest.method = HttpMethod.GET // Default.
     generatePresignedUrlRequest.expiration = expiration
     generatePresignedUrlRequest.responseHeaders = overrideHeader
     val url = s3client.generatePresignedUrl(generatePresignedUrlRequest)
    
    • Full Code *

        fun generates3ShareUrl(applicationContext: Context?, path: String?): String {
            val f = File(path)
            val s3client: AmazonS3 = AmazonUtil.getS3Client(applicationContext)!!
            val expiration = Date()
            var msec = expiration.time
            msec += 1000 * 60 * 60.toLong() // 1 hour.
            expiration.time = msec
            val overrideHeader = ResponseHeaderOverrides()
            overrideHeader.contentType = getMimeType(path)
            val mediaUrl = f.name
            val generatePresignedUrlRequest = GeneratePresignedUrlRequest(study.amazons3integration.aws.AWSKeys.BUCKET_NAME, mediaUrl)
            generatePresignedUrlRequest.method = HttpMethod.GET // Default.
            generatePresignedUrlRequest.expiration = expiration
            generatePresignedUrlRequest.responseHeaders = overrideHeader
            val url = s3client.generatePresignedUrl(generatePresignedUrlRequest)
            Log.e("Generated Url - ", url.toString())
            return url.toString()
        }
