title: How to use Android App as a "Producing client" for Kafka?
body: <p>Is it possible / does it make sense to use an Android app as a "Producing client" for Apache Kafka?</p>
  
  <p>Let's say my Android App need to capture and analyse reaction time data. Goal is to collect all data and show the average reaction time in real-time in the App.</p>
  
  <p>The alternative is having an app server of some kind as an
  intermediary that accepts messages from the android app and posts them to
  Kafka, rather than having the app be a Kafka Producer on its own.</p>
