# Almost Snapchat

A snapchat-like application made using AWS S3 as a backend. This was made as a learning-experience to learn 

how Amazon web services work. 

## Usage

1. Create a identity pool

   * Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/cognito/ and create a new identity pool. Make sure to enable access to unauthenticated identities and use the default roles.

   * Download the starter code at the last step of the wizard.

   * The starter code, has your Identity Pool ID. Keep this, you will need to add it to the sample later.

2. Set up permissions

   * Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/iam/ and select "Roles".

   * Select the unauthenticated role you just created in step 1.

   * Select "Attach Policy", then find "AmazonS3FullAccess" and attach it it to the role.

   * Note:  This will grant users in the identity pool full access to all buckets and operations in S3.  In a real app, you should restrict users to only have access to the resources they need.

   

3. Create a bucket

   * Go to https://console.aws.amazon.com/s3/home

   * Create a bucket with a name you want.

   

4. Import the sample project

   * Import the sample as Android project into Android Studio.

   * Open com.ratik.alomostsnapchat.util.Constants.java.

   * Update "MY_POOL_ID" with the value you got from step 1.

   * Update "MY_BUCKET_ID" with the value in step 3;

   

5. Run the app!
