* Command executed is - npx @aws-amplify/backend-cli generate graphql-client-code --format modelgen --model-target java --out app/src/main/java --app-id <your-amplify-app-id> --branch main

Replaced <your-amplify-app-id> with App ID

* Error observed - "InvalidCommandError: The Amplify Gen 2 CLI has been renamed to ampx
Resolution: Rerun using the ampx command name: "

@ShanmugaCA thank you for reporting this. You should be able to generate the client code using the following command.

npx ampx generate graphql-client-code --format modelgen --model-target java --out app/src/main/java --app-id <app-id> --branch main

Transferring the issue to the documentation repository to update the android quickstart guide
