The AWS SDK for Android is a collection of low-level Java libraries for directly interacting with AWS services (S3, DynamoDB, Cognito, Lambda, Pinpoint, and more) from Android apps. It is deprecated in favor of AWS Amplify for Android, with end of support scheduled for August 1, 2026.
Use cases
- call AWS services like S3 or DynamoDB from an Android app
- add Cognito-based authentication to an Android application
- upload files to S3 from mobile
- integrate AWS Lambda, SNS, or SQS into an Android client
- maintain a legacy Android app that already uses the AWS mobile SDK
- migrate an Android app from aws-sdk-android to Amplify Android
When to choose
- you are maintaining an existing Android app already built on this SDK
- you need low-level, fine-grained control over AWS service APIs on Android and accept the deprecation timeline
When to avoid
- you are starting a new Android project - use AWS Amplify for Android instead
- you need long-term support beyond August 2026
- you want a modern, higher-level cloud-connected app framework
