Open source License in Android App

Question

We have an android application and are using some third party licenses. What is the best place to include these licenses in the app? In iOS we include it in the setting bundle, but I am not sure the best place to do so in android.

Thanks for you help

Answer 1

For my apps I generally place the license .txt file in the assets directory. Read the Github (I generally use library from github) page thoroughly about licencing. Notify the original creator about the use of his library. Then, if the product is of a client I will ask if to include the creator with link in the about section(if there is one). In my own apps I will include the link and author in the about section somewhere in my app.
