android - Android AWS IoT example not updating shadow

Question

I have downloaded AWS IoT Android samples from here. I successfully run AndroidPubSub example given in above list. I can connect and subscribe. But message which I am publishing is not updating device shadow I have on AWS. Even when I update shadow on AWS console message not came on android device. I am missing something very small somewhere or am doing completely wrong?

Answer 1

It was my mistake. Non of the document about android AWS IoT mentioned about it. While publishing message to topic we should mention complete topic string available in AWS console. i.e.

$aws/things/lamp/shadow/update

Now adding complete string as topic I am able to publish message to AWS IoT. To receive updates on android device subscribe to /update/accepted.

$aws/things/lamp/shadow/update/accepted
