-==================
+# tus-android-client
 
-The tus client for android.
+> **tus** is a protocol based on HTTP for *resumable file uploads*. Resumable
+> means that an upload can be interrupted at any moment and can be resumed without
+> re-uploading the previous data again. An interruption may happen willingly, if
+> the user wants to pause, or by accident in case of an network issue or server
+> outage.
+
+**tus-android-client** is a library meant to be used in addition to [tus-java-client](https://github.com/tus/tus-java-client) for uploading files using the *tus* protocol to any remote server supporting it. This package provides additional classes which makes interacting with the Java library easier on Android.
+
+## Usage
+
+```java
+// This example consumes the tus-java-client and tus-android-client libraries
+import io.tus.android.client.TusPreferencesURLStore;
+import io.tus.java.client.TusClient;
+import io.tus.java.client.TusUpload;
+import io.tus.java.client.TusUploader;
+
+// Create a new TusClient instance
+TusClient client = new TusClient();
+
+// Configure tus HTTP endpoint. This URL will be used for creating new uploads
+// using the Creation extension
+client.setUploadCreationURL(new URL("http://master.tus.io/files"));
+
+// Enable resumable uploads by storing the upload URL in the preferences
+// and preserve them after app restarts
+SharedPreferences pref = getSharedPreferences("tus", 0);
+client.enableResuming(new TusPreferencesURLStore(pref));
+
+// Open a file using which we will then create a TusUpload. If you do not have
+// a File object, you can manually construct a TusUpload using an InputStream.
+// See the documentation for more information.
+File file = new File("./cute_kitten.png");
+TusUpload upload = new TusUpload(file);
+
+// First try to resume an upload. If that's not possible we will create a new
+// upload and get a TusUploader in return. This class is responsible for opening
+// a connection to the remote server and doing the uploading.
+TusUploader uploader = client.resumeOrCreateUpload(upload);
+
+// Upload the file in chunks of 1KB as long as data is available. Once the
+// file has been fully uploaded the method will return -1
+while(uploader.uploadChunk(1024 * 1024) > -1) {
+  // Calculate the progress using the total size of the uploading file and
+  // the current offset.
+  long totalBytes = upload.getSize();
+  long bytesUploaded = uploader.getOffset();
+  double progress = (double) bytesUploaded / totalBytes * 100;
+}
+
+// Allow the HTTP connection to be closed and cleaned up
+uploader.finish();
+
+```
+
+The [example application](/example/src/main/java/io/tus/android/example/MainActivity.java) provides a more complete example in terms of interacting with the Android platform.
+
+## Installation
