How to retrieve username from Amazon cognito user pool in android

Question

I am finding a way to get user name for Amazon Cognito users pool. I am using AWS Android Mobile SDK with AWS Mobile Hub. Created the user and logged in from my app. After logging in, how can i get the username with which i have logged in?

Answer 1

You can use the com.amazonaws.mobile.client.AWSMobileClient to integrate with cognito user pools. AWSMobileClient has the getUsername method that will return the signed-in user's username.

See the aws-sdk-android api reference ( available at https://aws-amplify.github.io/aws-sdk-android/docs/reference/ ) for more information
