How to use a driver
For your convenience, drivers in this repository are also published to JCenter as Maven artifacts. Look at their artifact and group ID in their build.gradle and add them as dependencies to your own project.
For example, to use the button driver, version 1.0, simply add the line
below to your project's build.gradle:
dependencies {
implementation 'com.google.android.things.contrib:driver-button:1.0'
}
