Android Licenses Page

This repository contains an example of how to produce a licenses page for an Android app similar to the ones found in Google apps such as Play Music and Gmail.

How to use

You need to include LicensesFragment.java in your projects source, as well as including the licenses_fragment.xml layout file in /res/layout and the licenses.html file in /res/raw. You should update the namespace to suit.

To display licenses for your app, you need to update the licenses.html file to suit (including any libraries you've used, their licenses, copyrights, and any links to source you may have modified, if required), then you can display it as you would any other DialogFragment:

// Create & show a licenses fragment just as you would any other DialogFragment.
FragmentTransaction ft = getSupportFragmentManager().beginTransaction();
Fragment prev = getSupportFragmentManager().findFragmentByTag("licensesDialogFragment");
if (prev != null) {
	ft.remove(prev);
}
ft.addToBackStack(null);

// Create and show the dialog.
DialogFragment newFragment = LicensesFragment.newInstance();
newFragment.show(ft, "licensesDialogFragment");

There are some TODOs in the LicensesFragment file - you should modify these things to suit your environment, though things will work fine without you needing to touch anything.

If you clone the repository, you should be able to open the included AndroidLicensesPageExampleProject in Android Studio and run it directly on any device running Android 2.1 or higher.
