How to integrate Amazon Cognito with Google Plus for Android?

Question

This is my first question here, so please be gentle. As part of my university's project, I need to develop an Android app that lets me upload files, and share files with other users. I am new to Android programming (I watched some Android Beginner videos and developed basic apps for practice) and first time using cloud computing as a developer. I am using Amazon Web Services.

I have got the code which lets me login using my google account and shows my Name, Email ID, and profile photo once signed in. I want to integrate it with Amazon Cognito so that I can get the unique id which I can use to work on AWS further. How do I get that unique key for each user who signs in on the app?

I watched some tutorials but can't understand how to integrate Cognito code into my code.

Here is my code.

This link has the code for Android, but I am not sure where to add that code in the program. Should I create a new class? Please help me with that.

Answer 1

Have you looked at the CognitoSync sample available in GitHub? It should give you some ideas on how to integrate Cognito into your application.
