Pre-requisites

• Android Things compatible board
• Android Studio 2.2+
• Rainbow HAT for Android Things or the following individual components:
  • 1 LED
  • 1 push button
  • 2 resistors
  • jumper wires
  • 1 breadboard

Schematics

If you have the Raspberry Pi Rainbow HAT for Android Things, just plug it onto your Raspberry Pi 3.

Build and install

On Android Studio, click on the "Run" button.

If you prefer to run on the command line, type

./gradlew installDebug
adb shell am start com.example.androidthings.button/.ButtonActivity

If you have everything set up correctly, the LED will light up when you press the button and light off when you release it.

Enable auto-launch behavior

This sample app is currently configured to launch only when deployed from your development machine. To enable the main activity to launch automatically on boot, add the following intent-filter to the app's manifest file:

<activity ...>

    <intent-filter>
        <action android:name="android.intent.action.MAIN"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.HOME"/>
        <category android:name="android.intent.category.DEFAULT"/>
