## What it is
A collection of sample Android applications demonstrating usage of the AWS SDK for Android, covering services like S3, Polly, Lex, and Kinesis Video Streaming. Each sample is a runnable Android Studio/Gradle project with setup instructions.

## Use cases
- learn how to upload and download files to Amazon S3 from an Android app
- example of streaming video to Amazon Kinesis Video from mobile
- integrate Amazon Polly text-to-speech in an Android app
- build a chatbot interface with Amazon Lex on Android
- get started with AWS Cognito identity in a mobile app

## When to choose
- you are building an Android app that uses AWS services and want working reference code
- you want to see how to wire Cognito auth with S3, Polly, Lex, or Kinesis Video on Android

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready code rather than demos
- you use a platform other than Android/Java
- you need the SDK itself rather than examples
