AWSBasicSessionCredentialsProvider (IOS) alternative in Android - Question

[praveshkhatana]

No Credential Provider for BasicSession in Android.

I have user's session credentials and want to pass it to mqttManager but unable to find any suitable provider which support it. IOS version has "AWSBasicSessionCredentialsProvider" which solves the purpose.

STSSessionCredentialsProvider required long-lived credentials.

• What service are you using? Auth service for IOT

• In what version of SDK are you facing the problem? @2.6.+

• Is the issue limited to Simulators / Actual Devices? Question

• Can your problem be resolved if you bump to a higher version of SDK?

• Is this problem related to specific Android/OS version? Android

• Can you give us steps to reproduce with a minimal, complete, and verifiable example? Please include any specific network conditions that might be required to reproduce the problem.

IOS working Code

credentialsProvider =  new AWSBasicSessionCredentialsProvider(this.credentials.accessKeyId,this.credentials.secretAccessKey,this.credentials.sessionToken);
let iotEndPoint = new AWSEndpoint(this.IOT_ENDPOINT);

        // // Configuration for AWSIoT control plane APIs
        let iotConfiguration = new AWSServiceConfiguration(this.AWSRegion, credentialsProvider);

        // Configuration for AWSIoT data plane APIs
        let iotDataConfiguration = new AWSServiceConfiguration(this.AWSRegion,
                                                           iotEndPoint,
                                                           credentialsProvider);

        AWSServiceManager.defaultServiceManager().defaultServiceConfiguration = iotConfiguration;

        this.iotManager = AWSIoTManager.defaultIoTManager();
        this.iot = AWSIoT.defaultIoT();

        AWSIoTDataManager.registerIoTDataManagerWithConfigurationForKey(iotDataConfiguration, this.ASWIoTDataManager);

        this.iotDataManager = AWSIoTDataManager.IoTDataManagerForKey(this.ASWIoTDataManager);
 this.iotDataManager.connectUsingWebSocketWithClientIdCleanSessionStatusCallback( this.clientId, true, (status)=>{

                                this.callback &&
                                    this.callback.onMqttEventCallback &&
                                    this.callback.onMqttEventCallback(status);
                            });

Android NON WORKING CODE :(.

let cred = new BasicSessionCredentials(accessKeyId,secretAccessKey,sessionToken);
let credentialsProvider = new STSSessionCredentialsProvider(cred);
mqttManager = new AWSIotMqttManager(clientId, CUSTOMER_SPECIFIC_ENDPOINT);

    mqttManager.setKeepAlive(10);

mqttManager.connect(credentialsProvider, new AWSIotMqttClientStatusCallback() { @Override public void onStatusChanged(final AWSIotMqttClientStatus status, final Throwable throwable) { Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Status = " + String.valueOf(status)); } });

Hello @praveshkhatana

In your code snippet, you are mixing kotlin and java code.

In an Android project, you can pass 'BasicSessionCredentials' into 'AWSStaticCredentialsProvider(credentials)', like code below.

BasicSessionCredentials sessionCredentials = new BasicSessionCredentials(accessKeyId,secretAccessKey,sessionToken);

mqttManager = new AWSIotMqttManager(clientId, CUSTOMER_SPECIFIC_ENDPOINT);
mqttManager.setKeepAlive(10);

mqttManager.connect(new StaticCredentialsProvider(sessionCredentials)), new AWSIotMqttClientStatusCallback() {
    @Override
    public void onStatusChanged(final AWSIotMqttClientStatus status, final Throwable throwable) {
        Log.d(LOG_TAG, "Status = " + String.valueOf(status));
    }
});

You can implement the class StaticCredentialsProvider by yourself like the code in https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-android/blob/master/aws-android-sdk-core/src/main/java/com/amazonaws/internal/StaticCredentialsProvider.java

@praveshkhatana and @sunchunqiang can you provide full code for Android AWS IOT Web socket, i was try your code but it show only Reconnecting message.
