Android Things user-space drivers 
Sample peripheral drivers for Android Things.
NOTE: these drivers are not production-ready. They are offered as sample implementations of Android Things user space drivers for common peripherals as part of the Developer Preview release. There is no guarantee of correctness, completeness or robustness.
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'
}
