Integrate S3 Storage with Android Apps

Android apps integrate through S3-compatible SDKs and workflows against the provisioned endpoint. Keep Secret Keys server-side and let the app use short-lived pre-signed URLs.

πŸ“‹ Prerequisites

  • Provisioned S3 endpoint URL and server-side credentials
  • An S3-compatible mobile SDK or HTTP client

Step-by-Step Instructions

1

Issue pre-signed URLs from your server

Your backend generates time-limited upload and download URLs per object and operation.

2

Upload and download from the app

The Android app performs standard HTTPS PUT and GET requests against those URLs, with resume via HTTP Range requests where supported.

3

Validate on real devices

Test background uploads, retries and large media files on target devices and networks before release.

πŸ“Œ Important Notes

  • Never embed Access Keys or Secret Keys in shipped apps.
  • Confirm SDK-specific operations against the provisioned endpoint during testing.
