How to become a contributor and submit your own code

Contributor License Agreements

We'd love to accept your sample apps and patches! Before we can take them, we have to jump a couple of legal hurdles.

Please fill out either the individual or corporate Contributor License Agreement (CLA).

• If you are an individual writing original source code and you're sure you own the intellectual property, then you'll need to sign an [individual CLA] (http://code.google.com/legal/individual-cla-v1.0.html).
• If you work for a company that wants to allow you to contribute your work, then you'll need to sign a [corporate CLA] (http://code.google.com/legal/corporate-cla-v1.0.html).

Follow either of the two links above to access the appropriate CLA and instructions for how to sign and return it. Once we receive it, we'll be able to accept your pull requests.

AI-Assisted Contributions

We welcome contributions generated or assisted by AI/LLM tools, provided you adhere to our project guidelines and maintain full ownership of your work. As the submitting author, you assume complete responsibility and accountability for all submitted code, documentation, tests, and pull request descriptions. Please thoroughly review, test, and validate all generated output—ensuring it follows idiomatic Kotlin and Android architectural standards—before submitting. Contributions must comply with the standard Google Contributor License Agreement (CLA), AI tools must not be listed as authors or co-authors on commits or PRs, and running automated agents to submit mass issues, scripted linters, or unsolicited, bot-generated pull requests without prior human discussion is strictly prohibited.
