Android app produces data in Kafka

[Mireia <mi...@alumnos.upm.es>]

Hi.

I am going to do a project in the University in order to finish my master in IoT.

I need to know if it is posible connect an android app with Kafka. I want that my mobile android takes data with its sensors and produces the data in Kafka logs.
If that is posible, where can I find documentation about it?

Thanks. 

Regards,

Mireya B. de Miguel Álvarez

Sounds like there are some issues using the Kafka java library on Android.  I think instead you should create a REST api (or use the REST proxy provided by Confluent) and have your device make HTTP calls to something that then puts messages onto Kafka.
