Unable to connect to amazon dynamo db from android app

Question

Here is my source code snippet which I'm using connect to Amazon dynamo DB

CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider credentialsProvider =
           new CognitoCachingCredentialsProvider(
            this, // get the context for the current activity        
            "XXXXX027930", // your AWS Account id  
            "us-east-1:e7a5fXXc-3c9c-4644-b754-3604188c6d99",// your identity pool id    
            "arn:aws:iam::31XXX0027930:role/hmo_users",// an authenticated role ARN
            "arn:aws:iam::31289XXX7930:role/hmo_users", // an unauthenticated role ARN
            Regions.US_EAST_1 //Region
        );
    //Log.d("LogTag", "my ID is " + credentialsProvider.getIdentityId());
    AmazonDynamoDB client = new AmazonDynamoDBClient(credentialsProvider);
    List<String> l = client.listTables().getTableNames();
    for(int i=0;i<l.size();i++)
    {
        System.out.println("Table "+i+"is :"+l.get(i));
    }

I'm getting the below error:

Can somebody help in resolving this error. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

Basically network process has to be done not in UI thread.

You should use Thread or AsyncTask to wrap your network or AWS communication or whatever happens in MainActivity.storeValues(MainActivity.java:98) .
