Build an IoT hub for streaming, storing, and analyzing sensor data in the cloud: Connect an Android device to the IBM Cloud, build a Node-RED dashboard, and build an AI classifier

In this tutorial, we present the high-level steps that are involved in connecting an Android device to the cloud and developing analytics models to analyze sensor data. By the end of this tutorial you should be able to set up your own IoT hub for streaming, storing and processing device data. The following figure shows the architecture of our sample app. This tutorial requires an Android device (smartphone), an internet connection, and an IBM Cloud account. In Step 1 you will create an account on IBM Cloud and install an application on your Android phone.
