Button and LED

This Android Things sample demonstrates how to use a button input UserDriver to listen to GPIO pin changes, generate and listen for key events and change the state of an LED accordingly.

Note: The Android Things Console will be turned down for non-commercial use on January 5, 2022. For more details, see the FAQ page.

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

  • 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
