# Use the Android producer library
<a name="producer-sdk-android"></a>

You can use the Amazon Kinesis Video Streams provided Android producer library to write application code, with minimal configuration, to send media data from an Android device to a Kinesis video stream. 

Perform the following steps to integrate your code with Kinesis Video Streams so that your application can start streaming data to your Kinesis video stream:

1. Create an instance of the `KinesisVideoClient` object. 

1. Create a `MediaSource` object by providing media source information. For example, when creating a camera media source, you provide information such as identifying the camera and specifying the encoding the camera uses.

   When you want to start streaming, you must create a custom media source.
