Please download and install Android API Level 23 through SDK Manager in Android Studio, before building the SDK. The AWS Core Runtime ( aws-android-sdk-core) module builds against Android API Level 23. y is bumped for not-breaking bugfixes, or for the introduction of new features/capabilities. x is bumped when there are breaking changes. 2 is a product identifier that never changes. We are always looking to help, please feel free to open an issue.

The SDK will handle re-trying requests automatically, but unless explicitly stated will throw an exception if it cannot contact AWS.Unless explicitly stated, calls can always throw an AmazonServiceException or an AmazonClientException (depending on if the exception is generated by the service or the client respectively).

Unless explicitly stated, calls are synchronous and must be taken off of the main thread.

Always use temporarily vended credentials from services such as Amazon Cognito Identity. It is trivially easy to decompile applications and steal embedded credentials.

Never embed credentials in an Android application.

There are a few fundamentals that are helpful to know when developing against the AWS SDK for Android. Implementation 'com.amazonaws:aws-android-sdk-SERVICE:2.x.y 'Ībove, SERVICE might be s3, ddb, pinpoint, etc.
