Running S3TransferUtility Sample

This sample demonstrates how to use the high-level class TransferUtility to perform download and upload tasks and manage the tasks. You can also follow the tutorial for a step-by-step guide in understanding the S3TransferUtilitySample.

  1. Create a identity pool

    • Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/ and create a new identity pool. Make sure to enable access to unauthenticated identities and use the default roles.
    • Download the starter code at the last step of the wizard.
    • The starter code, has your Identity Pool ID. Keep this, you will need to add it to the sample later.

  2. Set up permissions

    • Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/home and select "Roles".
    • Select the unauthenticated role you just created in step 1.
    • 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.

  3. Create a bucket

  4. Import the sample project

    • Import the sample as Android project into your IDE of choice.
    • Open com.amazonaws.demo.s3transferutility.Constants.java.
    • Update "COGNITO_POOL_ID" with the value you got from step 1.
    • Update "COGNITO_POOL_REGION" with the region of your cognito identity pool from step 1. For example, us-east-1.
    • Update "BUCKET_NAME" with the value in step 3.
    • Update "BUCKET_REGION" with the region of your s3 bucket from step 3. For example, us-east-1.

  5. Import the AWS SDK for Android

    • You can download the newest AWS Android SDK from http://aws.amazon.com/mobile/sdk/ and copy the jars into libs directory. Include the following jars
      • aws-android-sdk-core-X.X.X.jar
      • extras/aws-android-sdk-cognito-X.X.X.jar
      • aws-android-sdk-s3-X.X.X.jar
