# Creating and Deleting Apps in Amazon Pinpoint
<a name="examples-pinpoint-create-app"></a>

An app is an Amazon Pinpoint project in which you define the audience for a distinct application, and you engage this audience with tailored messages. The examples on this page demonstrate how to create a new app or delete an existing one.

## Create an App
<a name="create-an-app"></a>

Create a new app in Amazon Pinpoint by providing an app name to the [CreateAppRequest](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/reference/com/amazonaws/services/pinpoint/model/CreateAppRequest.html) object, and then passing that object to the AmazonPinpointClient’s `createApp` method.

 **Imports** 

```
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.AmazonPinpoint;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.AmazonPinpointClientBuilder;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.CreateAppRequest;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.CreateAppResult;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.model.CreateApplicationRequest;
```

 **Code** 

```
CreateApplicationRequest appRequest = new CreateApplicationRequest()
		.withName(appName);

CreateAppRequest request = new CreateAppRequest();
request.withCreateApplicationRequest(appRequest);
CreateAppResult result = pinpoint.createApp(request);
```

See the [complete example](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/blob/master/java/example_code/pinpoint/src/main/java/com/example/pinpoint/CreateApp.java) on GitHub.

## Delete an App
<a name="delete-an-app"></a>

To delete an app, call the AmazonPinpointClient’s `deleteApp` request with a [DeleteAppRequest](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-java/v1/reference/com/amazonaws/services/pinpoint/model/DeleteAppRequest.html) object that’s set with the app name to delete.

 **Imports** 

```
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.AmazonPinpoint;
import com.amazonaws.services.pinpoint.AmazonPinpointClientBuilder;
```

 **Code** 

```
DeleteAppRequest deleteRequest = new DeleteAppRequest()
		.withApplicationId(appID);

pinpoint.deleteApp(deleteRequest);
```

See the [complete example](https://github.com/awsdocs/aws-doc-sdk-examples/blob/master/java/example_code/pinpoint/src/main/java/com/example/pinpoint/DeleteApp.java) on GitHub.
