That would be interesting to learn: I did reply to the email I received, asking for further and better particulars, but haven't had a reply yet. I'm a little frustrated because the app I had in mind was something I wanted to write for my own use primarily, and I'd be quite happy to undertake only

Use a proxy server or adapter? Scalability could become an issue though there are autoscaling solutions that might be able to handle things. S On 25 Feb 2009, at 12:39, Markus Junginger wrote: > > >> Don't give up on the AWS project just yet ;). > > What are the options? > > It is better to

A contact I have inside Amazon is away on a couple of days of business meetings at the moment I've asked if there is anything they can do, so I may get some clarification back in the next couple of days as to what the problem may be. Al. Markus Junginger wrote: > >> Don't give up on the AW

> Don't give up on the AWS project just yet ;). What are the options? It is better to quit a project asap if you are not allowed to do it. I know of other mobile apps, which were not permitted by Amazon, and believe me, it's more frustrating to quit a project that got completed. But anyway, ha

Thanks Al! I took the precaution of asking Amazon for permission to use their Web Services before going any further with my application. Unhappily, they declined. So it looks like I will have to shelve the idea, which is a pity. Here is the text of what they sent me: "Hello Julian, Thank you f

Yup, thats how it's done in AndAppStore. The "trickiest" bit is calculating the signature, but once you know what you've got to include, well, our method is about 30 lines of code and most of that is calls to StringBuilder.append(). Then we add all the relevant headers to the request and send

Hello Al, Thanks for this sensible suggestion: so you are basically building the request body yourself, sending it with HTTPClient, and then parsing the response with your own software? Julian On Feb 23, 7:51 am, Al Sutton wrote: > You don't need the whole AWS kit to do AWS things. You can use

Thanks Markus: I am aware of that rule. As soon as I can successfully get the AWS running in the Android emulator I intend to request Amazon's consent. But I am not even close to that point yet :-) On Feb 23, 12:26 pm, Markus Junginger wrote: > Btw, if you are talking about "AmazonAssociates We

You don't need the whole AWS kit to do AWS things. You can use the HTTPClient libraries on the phone and a small amount of coding to write the stuff yourself. The AWS stuff we use in AndAppStore was written in-house and is less than 1500 lines and handles uploads, listing buckets, and deletion

You can already get a couple of AWS for Android http://andappstore.com/AndroidPhoneApplications/apps/30261 and http://andappstore.com/AndroidPhoneApplications/apps/8799 I would suggest you might need to look at how you're trying to do what you want to do and see if there are any Android based
