Open Source Licenses

The oss_licenses module is setup to generate a html file containing licenses of all dependencies. Just run the gradle task checkLicense to generate everything (Bitrise Step preferred)

The file allowed_licenses.json contains license descriptions that are allowed to be used in our apps. If you find a valid license that is not supported feel free to start a pull request.

Shoing an open source dialog or activity is easy as that:

    val licenseScreenSettings = LicenseScreenSettings(title = "License Screen", showUpArrow = true)
        
    // open an activity    
    OssLicenseActivity.showLicenses(this, licenseScreenSettings)
    
    // or open a DialogFragment
    OssLicenseDialogFragment.showLicenseDialog(supportFragmentManager, licenseScreenSettings)
