Using Service Bus / EventHub from Android devices

  • Article

Last summer we had Jimmy Campbell join the Fundamentals team for a couple of months as part of his internship with Microsoft.

I was assigned as his mentor and since I was working for the Azure Service Bus team I chose his project to be “Amqp for Android”.

Jimmy did such a fast job that after about 7 weeks we had to find another project! :)

So here is the github link to the work he did:

https://github.com/AppPlatPerf/qpid-proton/tree/AndroidProton

He basically solved all the hurdles so that people that want to use Service Bus / Event Hub from Android devices can do it very easily. It builds on top of the Proton-C Amqp library.

Hope it's useful for people out there!
