oss-licenses-plugin is not edge-to-edge ready
Describe the bug Integrate the app with oss-licenses-plugin
To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- Open the OssLicensesActivity
Expected behavior Activity supports edge-to-edge (enforced with Android 15)
I am experiencing the same issue.
FYI, if you plan to raise your app's Target SDK Version to 35 before this issue is resolved, I recommend using a workaround. In the themes for OssLicensesMenuActivity and OssLicensesActivity, set android:windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement to true. This will prevent edge-to-edge enforcement, which can help maintain your app's layout until a proper fix is available. You can find more details in the Android documentation: windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement.

Here is an example. https://github.com/error96num/nowinandroid/commit/5aec23693a0e34ca6c67c5bb9a110d7099a57273#commitcomment-145200647
windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement is an announcement that this will be disabled when targeting Android 16.

I hope activity supports edge-to-edge.
Can someone tell us if this library is still maintained or not, please? thank you
bumping. Any progress on making the library e2e compatible? the windowOptOutEdgeToEdgeEnforcement workaround is going to expire relatively soon and I'll will have to push a bunch of updates this year (after A16 release).
Is there any update here? Our team is blocked from updating to API 36 / Android 16 until this is fixed
As a workaround, you can use this method for now: https://stackoverflow.com/a/79689250/4866667

The new version of play-services-oss-licenses SDK updated open source notices activities to support edge-to-edge: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#july_7_2025
After updating to 17.2.0, the AppBar part was Edge-to-Edge compatible, but the content part did not seem to be compatible.
@ashnohe 17.2.0 does not resolve the issue, as mentioned in comment above.
In 17.1.0 the content of the plugin activities was behind the status bar. In 17.2.0, the content has been pushed below the status bar, but is now hidden behind the app bar instead. For a proper fix, content needs to be pushed below both status bar and app bar.

Thank you for the videos and images showing this issue. I'm raising this internally to the team.
The content may need to be inset once the app bar has been laid out. Tip 11 at the bottom of this blog. "11. Apply insets based on app bar height during the layout phase"
Hey all, there was a new release that should resolve this issue: https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#july_15_2025
When I upgraded to version v17.2.1, a strange blank area appeared in API 33. I tried it on Now in Android. Is this a project specific issue, or is it a plugin issue?
Emulator Pixel 6 API 33 / Pixel 8 API 36.
| API 33 | API 33 | API 36 | API 36 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| v17.1.0 | N/A | |||
| v17.2.0 | ||||
| v17.2.1 |
It's working for me using v17.2.1 but facing some issues in cases such as landscape orientation and Toolbar/statusbar color not matching which usually happens when statusbar inset is not applied as padding top in Toolbar.
I was aiming to achieve something like this.
I think it is using margin instead of padding when applying window insets which is not favorable for most cases. I suggest to use padding as it results to a better UI. I also recommend to apply systemBars and displayCutout on the content itself, I haven't checked it yet on release build so not sure if a long license/content is not overlapped by navigation bar.
New version is out! https://developers.google.com/android/guides/releases#august_14_2025
After updating to v17.2.2, it displayed without any problems! Thank you very much!

When scrolling down the list, the text is also rendering in the status bar area. Should that area be opaque?

What are you guys doing? 0.10.7 was working good enough. Now 0.10.8 is completely broken:
It only shows "This app does not have any open source licenses". And it shows that text in the status bar instead of below the action bar.

This is correct.
These are the versions that works, not perfect but at least not broken.
com.google.android.gms.oss-licenses-plugin 0.10.7
com.google.android.gms:play-services-oss-licenses 17.3.0
Tho the ideal approach is to use padding instead of margin when applying window insets (systemBars, displayCutout) to achieve similar design to this.
