I want to run a machine learning code on AWS and want it to be connected to an android app. If a button is pressed on the android app, a picture should be sent to the AWS and the results should be received back on the app after the computation has been done of cloud. I have no experience of using AWS, but I think Amazon lambda needs to be used to run the code on AWS. So how to connect the android app the amazon lambda? Are there any other alternatives?
I think you can access it via a js file that you will be using to send commands from the Android app and retrieve back the results, using the AWS Mobile SDK for Android. You can find more information and how to do it in this tutorial :
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/lambda/latest/dg/with-android-example.html
The example here is a simple one, but it will help you start then add the possibility to upload a picture from your app to be processed.
Good luck !
You will probably need to create a Web API type of application structure such as REST. This works by having all of your computation logic on the cloud server and the client side code on the mobile application (Taking a Photo, display of results etc).
Data is sent to the server from the application via HTTP Post commands, in response to the post command the server responds with the result of the computation.
I havent worked with AWS as I develop mobile applications and webservices/API using Azure but I think this link will help you to get started

Good luck
