AboutOss
==========

AboutOss is an utility library to retrieve and display opensource licenses in Android applications.

Usage
=====

The library works with the [OSS Licenses Gradle Plugin](https://github.com/google/play-services-plugins/tree/master/oss-licenses-plugin). 
You can integrate it in your application with few simple steps.

### Apply the OSS Licenses Gradle Plugin

In your app-level `build.gradle`, apply the plugin by adding the following line under the existing `apply plugin: 'com.android.application'` at the top of the file:

```kotlin title="build.gradle.kts"
apply plugin: 'com.google.android.gms.oss-licenses-plugin'
```

### Add the ui library to your application

```kotlin title="build.gradle.kts"
repositories {
    maven {
        url = uri("https://jitpack.io")
    }
}

dependencies {
    implementation("com.geekorum.aboutoss:ui-material:0.0.1")
}
```

### Launch the license activity

```kotlin
val intent = Intent(this, OpenSourceLicensesActivity::class.java)
startActivity(intent)
```

Build instructions
==================

Just use Gradle to build

    ./gradlew build
