App crash when trying to create a new AWS SimpleDB domain on Android 4.4

Question

I am trying to test AWS SimpleDB connection on a Samsung Galaxy 4S (Android 4.4). This is my first time writing application for Android platform, and am still not quite used to how things work here. Below is what I bind to one of the button on the UI. The main purpose of the function should just be connecting to the AWS, and then create a domain for the data.

public void select_no1(View view) {
    AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("MY_KEY_ID","MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY");
    AmazonSimpleDBClient sdbClient = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(credentials);
    sdbClient.setEndpoint("us-east-1");
    sdbClient.listDomains();
    CreateDomainRequest cdr = new CreateDomainRequest("test_from_and");
    sdbClient.createDomain(cdr);
}

It worked just fine at first, but the app crashes immediately once I added these two lines:

    CreateDomainRequest cdr = new CreateDomainRequest("test_from_and");
    sdbClient.createDomain(cdr);

Actually, doing this crashes the application, too.

    sdbClient.listDomains();

And below is the error I got from the LogCat. I am not sure what could be wrong here. :(

Answer 1

You are making a network connection in UI thread. make it in separate thread

try this simple solution. you need to handle according to your functionality.

public void select_no1(View view) {
new Thread(new Runnable() {
        @Override
  public void run() {
   AWSCredentials credentials = new BasicAWSCredentials("MY_KEY_ID","MY_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY");
    AmazonSimpleDBClient sdbClient = new AmazonSimpleDBClient(credentials);
    sdbClient.setEndpoint("us-east-1");
    sdbClient.listDomains();
    CreateDomainRequest cdr = new CreateDomainRequest("test_from_and");
    sdbClient.createDomain(cdr);                                                
                                                }
                                            }).start();
}
